I have been taking the time to catch up on books, I've been cooking a lot more than I used to, and I managed to come back to my parent's house before lockdown started so I'm not on my own. It's been nice to spend more time with my family, as I am not normally here.

I have developed a schedule for my family which includes exercise, active discussions, studies, prayers, and teaching the children skills that we normally don't have time for. Please share your ideas.
Stay healthy and stay safe.
At first, it was tough. The isolation was starting to get to me and I struggled to find a routine. However, I started to make the most of all the time. A lot of things I wanted to introduce or bring back into my life, I started to put into play. I now regularly exercise, cook and read. I want to start taking daily walks, meditating and praying more.

I've been doing good so far, I am naturally introverted and I don't live alone so it hasn't been as hard to be isolated for me. There are days where I of course miss my friends but I have to remember that we have to stay safe in order to not only protect ourselves but to protect others.

Pretty well since I never really went out before but It is hard to make money when I don't really want to go get a job at a real store. I've been looking online mostly now.

Pretty good. I have basically kept my same schedule. Wake up/bed time is the same and I have incorporated exercise during the day. I have been blessed to be able to work from home.

Living isolation and reading lots of books on here. Will be glad when I can get a social life again.

I just saw this on the news:

One of the biggest problems with this mess is not knowing weather or not you are infected. Most people who have the virus feel fine until it strikes .... BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY .... since they think they are OK they go out in public and unwittingly disseminate the virus to others and even to family members. Testing stations will not give you the test unless you are showing symptoms which include a combination of fever of at least 100.4 F - 38 C, coughing, headaches and fatigue. If you go to a testing station and you do not have a temperature they will turn you away because they do not have enough test kits. The Brits have determined that another symptom, and one which is easy to note, is that you lose the sense of smell and taste. A local politician said she had lost her sense of taste and smell entirely. Others have said the same thing. Now that would be easy to test at home. If you have this symptom as well as a temperature go and get tested or at very least isolate yourself from others.
Thank you for the info. :tiphat:
Good advice. Thanks for the tip.

I take all the recommended precautions, wear a mask, use the hand gel, wash hands and so on. Thats all a person can do and pray you dont get it. Im 82 years old and if I got it it would be the end of the road for me.

I live in the UAE right now and when the pandemic started, they were strict regarding the lockdown. I spent my time jogging outside (I live right in front of the sand dunes) and learning new recipes.
Currently, we are not on lockdown as the cases decreased significantly. People are more or less back to their normal routine. I prefer to stay at home and go out only for necessities. But I am spending more time reading and writing.
