    Enjoyed the video!😂
    Small, teeny tiny confession.....I've been out of the house every day (at least once) the whole time. Had to; baby goats care not a fig about quarantine and we had 3 that required bottle feeding.
    But also trips to the feed store(goat feed and formula), grocery store(I'm out anyway), fabric store (made masks), home improvement store (because if my husband is home projects are happening!) greenhouse (garden plants), and wedding shopping with oldest daughter (dress, shoes, flowers)...so much to do! And quite a bit of just being outside in the yard and garden.
    In all fairness, we were still working(considered essential jobs) at least part time, we have masks to wear when required, and we try to maintain social distance, but our lifestyle demanded we keep going as much as possible. It's not "normal" for us either, but I think it's been easier because there have been things keeping us busy.

    I am proud of you Kim. Yesterday I put my husband in the passenger seat for moral support and drove for the first time. We made it to the Target shopping mall. My husband put on his mask and gloves and went into the shoe store next door and proceeded not only to purchase himself a pair of shoes but me as well. I sat in the car and watched everyone go in and out of Target and Michael's craft store. I cannot believe I am going to say this but I am just not ready to shop in person yet and both pairs of shoes purchased by my husband are sitting outside in the sun soaking up the rays in hopes of purification.

My College has also provided us with a plan of the school and the route (NOT A JOKE) you have to take to your classroom! I'm in Nursing school so I'm thinking they're making us do our exam with masks and face shields now to protect every one of course but maybe also so we'd get used to wearing one... idk! I also have not driven my car since the beginning of March and it's been untouched for almost 3 months now!! I'm so glad you guys feel the same way about 'normal' life as I do! I don't want to go to the store at this point even though everything's open again. All these strict regulations and arrows on the floor etc just make me nervous!

    At least you were smart enough to realize you needed to physic yourself up. I, like a dummy, jumped in the car 'like normal' and proceeded to head out to the local big box store! Only to get there with my mask, hand sanitizer, wipes, and OH, NO, saw the crowds of people with no mask and proceeded to panic. Literally stomping on the gas, I whizzed right past the, "Big box store." And headed to local fast food chain drive thru, ordered my 1st drive thru meal since February and drove home! Whew, I nailed it, I had survived! I ran into the house, peeled off all of my clothes, hit the shower, got dressed and only then would I let the dogs anywhere near me. After sanitizing everything that would stand still I took one look at my prized fast food meal, and panicked. I put on gloves picked it up and threw it out the back door. I then sanitized the counter where it had been. And sit down on my cleanly sanitized chair feeling like I had been thrust into battle and had survived! To say the least, lunch was something from 'my own kitchen' and next time I will think before I put the car in gear and drive any further than own driveway! 😷 stay safe!

    No. I definitely struggle with the idea of going out. It requires planning and a sanitizing strategy, supplies, and system. First, for my immune system, I make sure I’ve been taking - daily - 4,000 iu of vitamin d-3, then zinc and c. Also, trying to get in cardio, xcise, and cut out sugar and simple carbs. Then when preparing to go out, I wear plastic gloves in addition to a mask. Sometimes swim goggles or a ski mask (that’s what I saw them wearing in Wuhan when running errands under lockdown in March - they ALL wore gloves, masks, and not all but most had eyewear like goggles if they had them) - or sunglasses although I know the sunglasses aren’t blocking air very well. I’m starting to give in to the sunglasses versus the other two because of self consciousness but I should remind myself it’s MY health, medical bills and / or death, so keep wearing those goggles. I can try finding or making a face shield instead too I suppose. Also, I have an outdoor outfit with a jacket and hat that I put on when I leave the house and take off once I come in (hanging up outside would be good though). When I’m done removing my clothes and mask, etc., if I haven’t sanitized my purchases in the trunk of my car, I’ll do it in the kitchen then wash and dry my hands with the gloves on still, remove the gloves for re-use, then a final washing of my bare hands. Really saves on the hands from all the multiple washing/sanitizing by using gloves like this. In my car trunk and jacket pocket, I have an extra large sandwich bag ziploc with homemade alcoholic wipes for sanitizing (I use cut up sturdy multiple use fabric like paper towels that can be bought in the paper towel aisle). I keep those in my jacket pocket too, along with the cards or cash I use. That way I can sanitize things, carts, cards, my gloved hands, etc, in a store, etc. And when getting gas, I use the sanitizer wipes on my gloved hands (and credit card) before getting back in the car.

    Start small when you do decide to go out. Drive around and get used to being back in the real world. Take baby steps and work your way up to a carry out restaurant. I did that a couple of times, went to a restaurant for carry out. You step inside a few feet, pay, get your bag and leave. I still have not been to an actual store to shop. Not sure when I will feel comfortable doing that, hopefully in a week or two.

    Last year my husband had off work from late March to June, as I recall. I was fine snuggling with him the first week. We went to Arby's for dinner. Drive through for dinner because that's how you eat out during covid. We were thrilled! The dog got a roast beef sandwich because her world was screwed up, too since we were all home together. We later found car rides were not allowed. Aw come on!

Seems to help... No casual shopping trips though still.

That can be a complicated game trying to find the exact products that they want. And I love the feeling of removing my mask afterward. Stay strong folks. We will get thru this.

    I’ve had to work out of the home through the entire event so far...recently our workplace has had a huge spike in positive covid cases, but it’s not a job we can shut down. I’m going to go get tested and antibody tested just before Christmas break so I can safely see my family. I don’t fear going out much because out is less contact than I’m stuck with at work. I *do* play a game I call “panic attack or covid” regularly, winning the game once I’ve taken my temperature at least ten time with the same range of results and then doing jumping jacks to check for ease of breath.
    I’m grateful for my work- so many don’t have that. Some weeks are better than others. Walking fast as far as possible helps some. Ever hopeful we have gotten past more than we still have to get through. It’s so hard.

Because I have five kiddos and my mom at home (she has cancer) I am the only one that leaves to run errands...groceries, mail, etc. Each time I go out, it is (almost) an all-day ordeal because I have to sanitize EVERYTHING!! Mask and gloves in the stores...sanitize every item before putting it in my car...then gloves off into the trash bag and sanitize the door handle, my phone, my debit card,my keys, etc. When I did my last Costco run, it took my 45 minutes to sanitize every item before putting them in my vehicle. I actually got a suntan on my arms!!
