Hi, @amberpep, I have lived alone for many years and while I like and enjoy the company of others, I also very much need my private space and time. Because of this, I think it has been much easier for me to adjust to the self-quarantine I imposed on myself on March 13th.
On 5/29th, exactly 11 weeks after isolation, my coffee maker went out. I hadn't driven since 3/13th but did gear up like a mummy and headed over at opening to the nearby Target to purchase a coffeemaker. Luckily, my store had a separate enclosed "customer service" area. I told the rep. the brand, model and price of what I needed, it had shown "in stock" on the website, and asked if an employee could please go bring one to that desk for me to purchase because not only was I elderly, I also have serious compromising health issues.

While waiting for the purchase, I watched people entering the store. Not One of Twenty Three shoppers entered wearing a mask! The two employees I dealt with did. I am grateful that the employees wore masks; I live in Texas where hair salons, tattoo parlors, bars and in-dining places along with churches and everything else under the sun are now wide open. I came home, showered/ shampooed and thoroughly cleaned my new purchase and its packing materials and tossed clothes in the washing machine and masks and gloves in the trash.

It was traumatic for me to enter that store after not driving for 11 weeks. It was disturbing to count the people not wearing masks. My kitty, Precious, listened to me gripe about others who are selfishly disregarding the infectious disease experts who continue to recommend wearing masks and practice social distancing.

I stay busy with gardening, neighborhood walks, reading, Netflix movies, mystery series and documentaries. I enjoy PBS programs and gardening. trying new recipes and staying in touch with those I care about by phone, Zoom and new friends made on Mayo Connect threads.

Are you finding hobbies or possibly new interests that keep your mind occupied on recreational or pleasant diversional activities? I started "growing" veggie scraps like celery, cabbage, carrots, for the fun of seeing what might transpire. Proud to boast that both my celery and lettuce and green onions are responding nicely and it is fun to check on their progress and keep them watered and transplanted into potting soil as needed.

I limit the amount of tv news I watch. I admire Gov. Cuomo and time my brunch/lunch time with his daily news briefings. I usually now watch one local evening news broadcast and that does it for me. Too much news is just too much for me.

What about you? What, besides the wonderful companionship of your two fab pets keeps you going day to day?
