Quarantine Shit

Quarantine has been really weird.

The first two weeks were coming down from stress.

The third week it was trying to figure out how to work from home.

I teach P.E. And Health so I’m always up moving around. Now I’m confined to my house trying to email and call students. I’ve created Instagram to stay in touch, I’ve made a Tik Tok to look silly at best, and got messenger to keep up with what’s going on with the school situation.

I got rid of Facebook when I went to flight attendant training. I would get on and read everyone’s “diary” when I was trying to go through this intense training. The news, complaints, and all the negativity gave me really bad anxiety. So I just got rid of it.

I try to block it all out and honestly I’d rather there be some point of cut off. Some point where not everyone can get in touch with you all the time. You have my number you don’t need to reach me on 25 different apps. So realistically it’s been more difficult than I thought it would be. So now I have all these different options to stay in touch with people, but there’s really no cut off.

The fourth week its just trying to fill the day. I sleep till 11-12 to try and waste some of the day. Some days it’s been really hard to get motivated.

Tell me how in the hell people are stay at home parents? Working from home daily? Or just sitting around not working and just getting by?

I am getting irritated, I miss the gym, I miss work routine. I miss my friends. I miss my family.

My thoughts are trying to eat me alive this week. It could be that my period is due on top of it… great.πŸ‘ΏπŸ€¬

I’m generally a positive person, but here lately I have to confess it’s getting more difficult.

I’m ready to not be confined, not walk on the same trail , not emailing and sitting for hours at a time. I’m ready to be back in somewhat of a routine.

I hope it comes soon. I miss the days we thought were bad.

Red Pepper Sauce

Tonight I had to use up some peppers that were about to go bad. I made up a version of red pepper sauce. It was delicious!

A fast way to make potatoes is to put olive oil rosemary and thyme on them and lay them out on the griddle.

This was a great dinner !

Social Distancing Easter

Today I went to my in laws house to have lunch with them for Easter. Before that the church had a drive up service. It was different, but a great turn out.

At first I was very skeptical due to the stay at home order. We looked at the weather and luckily it was nice enough to be able to eat outside . Honestly it was just nice to have human interaction even if we couldn’t hug or play games or anything in the back yard.

It was nice to eat a meal, chat together , and spend time together in each other’s company for Easter.

We made our plates one family at a time, and each family sat at different places spread out in the back yard.

I like to be around people ( most of the time) so this has been a struggle staying home. We need to do this to get to a better , safer, healthier way of living.

I have been trying to keep busy . I am a teacher so I’ve had to adjust lesson plans, incorporate and learn new technology , and keep in touch with all my classes.

Besides school I’ve been doing a lot of the following. Maybe you can get some ideas if you need to fill your time.

  • Planting a garden
  • Learned to play chess
  • Cooking different foods
  • Walking daily with my dog
  • Writing my pen pal ( penpal.com if you want a pen pal)
  • Playing pool
  • Playing darts
  • Playing horseshoes
  • Playing Jenga
  • Doing puzzles
  • Working on my blog
  • Learning Tik Tok dances
  • Reading
  • Fishing
