YES!!!!! I just scrapped a page that I did when I told Bianca that our library is going to start doing curbside pick up really soon!!!!!!
the opportunity for a daytime nap when I've had a night of too many hourly (or more frequent) medical procedures. Naps were possible with the children at school, bit not with them at home.
My energy tank was on EMPTY yesterday, I just couldn't do anything. I was literally falling asleep while working from home, so I stopped and told B I was going to take a nap. I think she saw how EXHAUSTED I was, next thing I felt was her sneaking into my bed and asking if she could have some snuggle time. We had like a 2hr nap! She woke up energized and me NOT so much, I think I needed more time. LOL!!!
Yes, I get heart palpitations every SINGLE time I need to go out.
Everything outside the house.....long story but as I don’t drive I have to use buses mainly but due to COVD-19 there have been restrictions on how we are to get on or off the buses - at the back door which I can’t do without help so I’ve been at home the entire time of lockdown
That seems wrong, have you called the bussing system and ask what you can do?
I'm missing face to face adult interaction with friends and co-workers, my mom, the hair salon, the nail salon, and basically just being able to plan to go somewhere like weekend trips or vacations.
my quarantine mistake - I bought these touch up face razor things on Amazon that did a great job until I accidentally sliced a chunk out of one of my eyebrows
OMG, my daughter's unibrow is driving me INSANE!!!!!
Oh, and I miss the friendliness we used to experience in public places. Like, people aren't even looking at each other now. ?
Everyone is letting their nasty side out, and minding in everyone's business! I was talking (more like almost screaming) to my neighbor that I saw when I went walking. We were about 25ft away possibly more. I was asking her about her mom which is really sick with cancer. This guy is driving stops insults us and tells us to wear masks. I couldn't even believe it! First of all, he isn't wearing one to address to us, so what the heck! We were more than 25ft away and I was doing my best not to go hug my neighbor who is watching her mom died! So, yeah... I miss having people mind their own beeswax!
What I miss most is taking my kids to their activities and events. My 18 year old's choir concert would have been in a couple weeks. My 16 year old should be completing their behind the wheel training. My 13 year old would have been performing in The Lion King at the end of this month. I don't want to hurry back into the germy world though.
We have seen Bianca's viola's performance, viola's art concert, Young choir concert, Charity choir concert all come and gone. So I 100% understand!
This was the first year that Bianca could try out for the school soccer team and she was looking forward to that.
*Waking up each morning and automatically and unthinkingly knowing what day of the week it actually is. Turns out I prefer 7 days a week to this never-ending Blursday!...
*Visits to the library
*Sunday brunch at my favourite local pub
*My nephews, who only live about 4.5 miles away, but who seem so far away
LIBRARY!!!!!!!! Our library is doing arrangements to do curbside, thank goodness because I was about to start black trading of books somehow!
I miss my kids going to school. They HATE online schooling and so do I for them.
And I miss hanging out with friends. We all live for the 3-4 months of good weather so we can get together on a whim and grill together and just hang out and have a fire outside. I'm hoping it safe to do that again REALLY soon!
I think it's especially hard for only-child. Bianca has no interactions with her friends other than a bit on the phone. She hates the phone, so this has been extremely hard.
I miss getting in my car for those just on a whim stores just as
@Cherylndesigns mentioned. Just to browse around and when you finally get to the checkout you see something in a person's cart that you hadn't seen and like and there's a checkout conversation about nothing really, but just connection. Hair salons open tomorrow but now have gone through a lot of the god awful growing out stage I'm not sure I want to go short again, only to have all these closures repeat later this year.
I also miss the fact that my dh went out to lunch or dinner quite a bit and now he's always home and I mostly have to get him fed. He still has post cancer issues and specific tastes... Even carry out takes planning.
Hubby started working 3 weeks ago and the first time eating out he got SUPER sick, he barely made it home. So from that day I have been making him lunch to take to work. The other day Bianca wanted to have a second plate from dinner and I had to tell her that she couldn't because it was dad's lunch. I felt terrible, but that is what's going on.
