Shelter in place? Can do

[captain queeg]

I guess my lifestyle is desirable for the moment. I’m not a hermit but it doesn’t bother me to stay home. I have a couple weeks worth of food; as long as I can get out for a walk, which is supposed to be ok, I’m fine with it.

1. The question I have is how often to go replenish groceries? I had 2 weeks, now down to ten days

should I get another 2 weeks tomorrow?

5. I walked to the store yesterday

There’s food available just not sanitizer and TP. I wouldn’t get stressed. I’ve been making that a part of my daily walk; stop in the store to see how it’s going. In a week or so I’ll take my car and restock but fortunately a small grocery is pretty close.

6. The local grocery started opening today at 6AM for seniors only. Knowing how seniors are I thought

I'd go on a the second day.

2. that is EXACTLY my situation also. Food, walk, and since I was a latch key kid I knew how to

entertain my self alone... Me, myself and I do very well together...

4. To thine own self be true

That is a good frame of mind to be in. To be comfortable with yourself.

3. our county has been told to shelter in place as of last night..

...like the cartoon said 'Ive been training for this all my life'!. I live on 5 acres of forest and the snows nearly gone but its been high 40s so Ive had the door open so the dogs can run in out in out in out.

Ive got 3 freezers of food , 2 cases of wine and lots of other stuff to keep me busy. Dog food on subscription. Hubby still has to work so he stops by a grocery store every morning when its empty and grabs extra food. I still cant find dry beans.

9. I feel the same way.

I'm home, alone, and thinking "I got this."

I suppose I have more practice than the rest of society.

10. This is a beautiful spring in many ways

Hi all: New to forum and this group. I'm deeply concerned about what is happening on many levels, but most of all for those people severely disadvantaged by poverty. I'm 67 and this is an amazing experience to go through at this point in my life: I'm practicing safety and trying to encourage others to do the same.

At the same time, it is a cool, glorious Spring: my clematis have been blooming for weeks and weeks; Their energy is so intense I think I see them vibrating. It's wondrous to listen to the crows talk to each other, the woodpecker peck, with my faithful cat and Chihuahua.

The skies are mostly quiet: no planes, no jet trails. I don't go on the road much, but no trucks and, for me, enormously stressful traffic. Very few people about. I live in a state that's like a forest down south; everything is brilliantly green right now.

I've lived alone most of my adult life, and I must admit that solitude is a peaceful, safe and enlightening place to live. I am a professor, I was, before this pandemic, dealing with students and colleagues daily. The isolation has alleviated most of my stress related to work. I wouldn't mind a little bit more human contact, but I'm mostly blissful right now communing a lot with nature, like us old hippies do.

So that's what I've been up to, tending to many beautiful plants...
