When plans change because of health issues. How do you cope?

@imallears I will be surprised if that big Irish party does not end up getting canceled.
You bring up an interesting thing with your mention of going to your gym. I went to the gym yesterday - not a class, just my own workout - and wiped down each piece of equipment both before and after using and cleaned my hands frequently. The gym at my health club is spacious and rarely crowded so there was no one with 10' of me while I did my thing.
Today I went to the pool and water-jogged. I was very careful in the locker room and washed my hands after touching anything. I am wondering though if it is time to suspend going there. I know that will cause me some depression since I enjoy being active and find home exercise much less appealing but if I did end up catching anything I would be so remorseful. I think I probably do need to suspend. I am struggling because I am not happy about that at all.

Well, leave it to us nutty Irish but the Ragland Road bash at Disney Springs has already started. Disney and Universal are closed but the restaurant and stores are open. Half my family dropped out. My daughter and son in law are still pondering. Told them to text before coming over so I can hose them down, if they decide to go.
Stocked up at Publix and Target (empty shelves of paper products) and have enough in my freezer and pantry until Christmas lol.
How much TP does one person need anyway?
My friends and I decided to forgo the gym classes for a couple of weeks starting today and get together for a gabfest instead. I have all the equipment here to do the routine and I still walk. I am not hunkering down, just being mindful of where I need to go.
I will think up some new recipes for @jakeduck while I am at home. I know he will appreciate that.
My wine fridge is full and I bought enough dark chocolate for awhile. Happy hour may come a little earlier than usual. Just hope I don’t get the munchies too much if I binge Netflix, Amazon or Hulu. Yup, we have all 3.
The big Medical Center near us is on lockdown meaning no visitors. Saw more younger children in the stores today than usual due to some closings in the area. We are in a heavily senior populated area so I hope everyone is being sensible. Was going to go
to the library for some new books but had second thoughts about that and may buy a book online instead.
Hope I don’t get too antsy. Stay well everyone.
