I just closed a half-dozen tabs that were old posts from y'all that I keep meaning to respond to. Apologies, but I have limited oomph this week, as a lot of us do.
But hey, surveys are easy.
Quarantine meme (quaranteme? quaranmeme?) picked up from
julian who got it from
crystalpyramid.
1. Are you an Essential Worker?
Yes, but in a limited fashion. There's a big task I do at my job (community college) that has to be done in person (printing and mailing out transcripts) and my co-worker and I have been taking turns going in and doing it. I went last Tuesday; she went last Monday and this Monday; I might go in next week.
2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started?
I don’t drink. It's been water, flavored fizzy water, and lots of tea for me.
3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts?
A little? But they don't live with me (they're grown).
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?
None, though I've gone back to riding the stationary bike, and I may return to counted cross-stitch, which I haven't done in a really long time.
5. How many grocery runs have you done?
One, for my mom's housebound friend. We get all our groceries delivered.
6. What are you spending your stimulus check on?
Spending down credit-card debt (if I had lost my job, my answer would be very different).
7. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine?
Not really. I mean, Easter and my dad's birthday are happening during it, but I don't generally celebrate them. My dad and brothers and I Zoomed for Easter and will do so again for his birthday.
8. Are you keeping your housework done?
James is still doing most of the housework, though I'm doing some. He also does most of the cooking (and all of the laundry, and most of the other home maintenance). I am doing all of the work-for-pay and nearly all of the managing-family-members.
9. What movie have you watched during this quarantine?
Scads of bad monster movies (and a few good ones) with James. F'rinstance, all of the Universal monster movies in chronological order. On my own, I'm watching La Casa De Papel (Money Heist).
10. What are you streaming with?
Netflix, Britbox, Acorn, Amazon Prime, YouTube premium, and Hulu. Streaming video is our only entertainment expense, so we have a lot of it.
11. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby?
I mean, statistically zero but not ZERO zero.
12. What's your go-to quarantine meal?
We're kind of all over the place. Not much different from our usual fare.
13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid?
Hmm. It comes and goes.
14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time?
We had some trouble one day for a few hours, and another day for less than an hour, but it's mostly been fine.
15. What month do you predict this all ends?
Data scientists can't predict it, so I won't even try.
16. First thing you’re gonna do when you get off quarantine?
See my kid. Go grocery shopping. Go to work. Not necessarily in that order.
17. Where do you wish you were right now?
I'm home, so I'm where I want to be. I'm lucky.
18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most?
Grocery shopping!!
19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer?
No. We're home, so soap and water are working for us. We had Costco quantities of toilet paper before the pandemic hit, so we haven't come near running out yet, but I'll probably have to order some soonish to stay smug about it.
20. Do you have enough food to last a month?
Absolutely. See Costco quantities, above, and my only retail therapy has been buying groceries and dry goods online.
