I am here off and on. I sleep mainly in the day. Dunno. I should not. Maybe when summer hits, I will be outside more.

I ordered a few minor things for my photography. I plan on taking trips to the country finding barns etc. Maybe old cars? Then I will log their locations on a GPS app on my Android phone. I will come back to them after dark.

I want to try "light painting" with my photos. Where you use a flash light, and colored theater gels to make different colors on your subject.

Also am busy with that NDA website. Trying to listen to music mostly on my computer, and not watching the news too much.

Hope you are doing ok.

I’m here every day several times a day. My friend just called me. I sent her a hat with a sunflower and a cased. She had surgery and is relearning how to walk. That made me smile.
My dr ended up writing me off for three weeks not two.
Just lounging about the house and caring for my dogs.

I am dealing with it by doing a lot a lot a crafts I will probably switch up and change 2 Learn something new painting on wood is getting a little expensive going to make some paper Rose balls I and trying to do everything 2 keep myself occupied so my mood swings do not get out out of hand hope everybody is safe

I have 5 cats and I would have lost it by now had I not had them,, most of them follow me around even into the bathroom...I am doing ok,, even if I am by myself and isolated ,,, well not alone actually..

It sounds like you've got some great things to do with photography Deck.... Can you go social distance walking now to take photos or drives on your own?

I can imagine that the photos will be great

Big hug sweetie....xo

That's a really nice thing to do Kisses..... That will be something for your friend to treasure

Big hug while you cuddle with the pooches......xo

Big hug Mycroft.... I feel the same about my pooch.... He's with me all of the time..... xo

hi Jan, it's been a day indoors mostly. I went for a walk this morning -and then Blue took up much of my time after that Been watching tv and reading and time's been slipping away.

hey Suncloud,
In all honesty I am not doing too hot. I have been struggling a lot and all my symptoms have gotten worse. :( I think I am going to talk to my Tdoc, because this can't go on.
I've been walking a lot and I'm losing weight but not in a healthy way. I just need some human interaction, I am an extrovert and the isolation has been tough on me.
<3

Hey,
I have just been reading a lot. The grand dawg helps out. She’s loving and precious. Been cooking quite a bit. (Which means lots of dishes.) Other than that not a lot to do. The beaches are supposed to open up soon for excercise purposes only. It will be refreshing. I bet there’s a lot of shells. Take care everyone!

My life has always been one of mainly staying in, never had an issue with being alone and love my own space. but being an introverted extrovert I was happy to make the odd excursion out of my cave. That is no longer possible and for me it as been going on since january with severe vertigo which would not go away for months regardless of treatment. I really should have been in a hospital but as you all know this is not the time to be sick with anything other than covid. It finally eased off a couple of weeks ago with a combo of stemetil and phergan so it has been a little easier. It did drive home to me though that I am completely alone and without being able to go out to have social/human contact, not having anyone call me and being the one to always initiate has been driven home.
loneliness reared its ugly head but I finally have persuaded my kids to 'zoom' or house party having made them see that they all have company within physical distancing but I do not. I hope it takes place as I am very much looking forward to it. I have gone without food for a couple of days not for lack of it but for lack of ability to prep it due to severe pain. Not a hope of surgery on the trapped nerves in my spine even if I would consider it with all its associated risks so this has been a challenge. I managed to cook a few meals on sunday so I've had two days of delicious dinners which have been great. Overdoing it physically when i can is downright stupid but at the end of the day after a rocky few months i can see a little light at the end of the tunnel.
good post Jan.
Hugs to all.

Hi Jan. I'm glad you have Rascal and your landlord for company. I'm in the same boat as you - it's probably not as tough for me as it is for a lot of people. It hasn't come to where there's bylaws against going out, as long as we all maintain social distancing.

I don't mind being in and I have the 500 acres of the Ranch to tool around on, so I an escape into nature more now that I'm allowed outside and the pollen hasn't been as bad. Spending more time in the garden, watching some older movies and TV series here and there, but TV has kind of lost it's appeal. Working on some research papers and still doing "Work" about 15 hours a week. Ordered some new drawing and art supplies, and a few new puzzles to fill the time. Grammy and I have a couple times a week that we Zoom and play board games, she's pretty lonely down in SC and not used to being stuck inside without her friends so much. I usually spend 1 day a week cooking and prepping meals for the week. So just various things to keep busy.

Reading a book and rests in the hammock on cool days are a big draw right now!

Glad you and Rascall are doing well.

Im doing alright. Still able to work full time so my days à la maison are structured. I’m trying to incorporate a morning workout to get some exercise. I go out for walks around the neighborhood on occasion.

Sun, have you read anything amazing you can recommend?

I find time slips away to Marky.... Well put... I often think that I am lost in time... I'm glad that you have Blue now.....smile.....xo
