Charky Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Working from home now. Can't say I am enjoying what little things I can make while being at home with family but I still have a work amid this pandemic and it's good enough for me. We''ll just follow all the golden rules to prevent virus from spreading. Keep safe people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeMySoul Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 My paranoia has gotten worse. I do not go outside at all anymore. I check the mail once a week and any packages I sanitize and dispose as soon as possible. I let the garbage pile up and throw it out same day as I check the mail. Food delivers here are so limited that never find a window of availability and since I don't drive or feel safe taking transportation, I rely on my family to deliver food and groceries to me. Thank god for them otherwise I don't know what I would do. Friends and co-workers have been diagnosed with the virus and my grandmother passed away a week ago alone in her nursing home 2 days after her diagnosis. It's been a stressful nightmare with no end in sight. Praying for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I’m the type of person that values a lot of alone time, but the ongoing quarantine and social distancing is getting to me. I”m also usually enjoying my single life. I can admit that having a boyfriend would be a good option at this time.Overall, I’m in a good position right now even though I’m unemployed. Very aware it can be so much worse. I just need to work on managing my sexual frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly abandoned the TV and news because all they talk about is the virus, and it's turned into a clusterfuck. I can inform myself of the relevant news in about five minutes every day. No need to torture oneself beyond that imo. So I've been studying japanese, and making art, cooking, etc.. it doesn't have to be as horrible as it can.

Guest eroticerotic Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I feel a sense of malaise and brain fog in the mornings, to greater or lesser degrees. I feel lucky to have been able to push thru and remain productive but it’s....all so weird. also I feel like I can feel the sickness and in the air when I step outside to even just throw trash out. It feels weird to be outside in general now too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So inconsiderate and selfish. Yeah I have been seeing gaggles of teens and younger people talking in the parks. As days go on people are listening less and less. The police drive by but don't say anything from what I see. I just wear my masks and gloves when I got out to food shop and I report to the customer service desk if people don't have masks on. The only time I don't wear a mask is when I go running in the street. I am in Garfield but I had to go shopping in another town (Hasbrouck Heights) and the difference was day and night. In Heights nearly everyone had a mask on, in Garfield only about 20% had masks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmike Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I booked my trip to Spain and Italy for this summer. The hotels are all free cancellation and I fly so much on United I will use the credit if the trip get cancelled. I needed to book my trip for some form of sanity. I also want to support those economies and the travel industry! I went to Madrid in February and was suppose to go to Lisbon and Spain in March/April but that got all canceled.

FreeMySoul Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Is travel even allowed to foreign countries? I don't even want to travel by bus to NYC let alone a foreign country right now lol I was in the planning stages for a vacation to Italy just a few days before this whole thing happened so it's definitely not happening anytime soon.

I had a Napoli vacation planned for late April, but I had to postpone it to September. I dont know if I would have to postpone it again.

Depends on the country . I think right now even if you can fly you might be met with a 14 day quarantine in a hotel room / airport scenario so not really worth it in my opinion . All my planned trips have been cancelled until 2021 . In Thailand domestic flights have started operating but you have to wear mask at all time and there will be no food service . Flight attendants in head to toe PPE gear . Thailand is also closed to foreigners until 1st June . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eroticerotic Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I definitely had some sort of breakdown Sunday night. I was having a party for one, three shots of patron and then my craving for social closeness did not mix well with the coming down of it. I just kept hitting walls with plans and started feeling very trapped; it was very weird to say the least. I don't think I'm having any alcohol for a while! there goes that option.
