Surviving Quarantine





How are you doing during this trying time?  What are you doing to pass time?  To keep yourself and those around you sane? 





Hubby and I are doing okay.  As hard as this is, we both realize how fortunate we are.  I think like most of us, we are trying to limit how much news we watch.  Too much news seems to equal a quicker path to panicking.  





I have been working.  I’m finishing the revisions on Don’t Look Back, my last book in my Christie Craig Texas Justice series.  I’m getting it done, but it’s coming slow. It’s hard to be creative when life feels so bat shit crazy.  





To hold off boredom, I’ve been working a jigsaw puzzle.  In the evenings, we’ve been binge watching a few shows. I’ve been reading, but even that is hard.  I walk every day.  In fact, I’m still walking with a friend—we take turns driving to each other’s house, we walk, talk, but stay ten feet apart of each other and don’t even go into each other’s homes.  Then hubby and I go for a shorter walk in the afternoons. As much as I dislike this quarantine time, my dog is loving it.





We order groceries and have them delivered. So far, we are not out of toilet paper.  Then there’s cooking. Hubby fixes his own breakfast and lunch, but I cook dinner.  With hubby being a transplant patient, it’s imperative that we keep him and myself virus free, so even ordering in is too risky. Now, I actually like to cook, but when this is over, I’m making hubby take me out for a month.  





I hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe.  Tell me what you’re doing?  What shows are you watching?  What books are you reading?  How are you staying sane?

Betty Morris I agree that you have to find something to help pass the time during this quarantine. We all love to be at home but it’s a little different when you HAVE to be at home. We order as much as we can online but stores seem to be out of stock on a lot of the items needed.

And I love cooking too but am looking forward to going out for a meal that I didn’t have to cook when this is behind us.

I have been making masks for the family, have other crafts I love working on, enjoy cleaning house and cooking, but it will be nice to do a little in person shopping in stores soon. Browsing is half the fun of shopping.

So there are a few inconveniences right now but so worth it to avoid this virus and stay healthy. It’s all good!
