With COVID-19 spreading as it has over the last few weeks, our new reality can make days long, wondering what to do next. Shopping is limited to grocery and essential items. Most restaurants operate with “to-go” only. Those that aren’t able to participate, are closed. Public attractions are closed. It has affected the world and globally will change our way of life in general.
We are praying for a reprieve from this virus and remaining vigilant to prevent the spread. With trips to the grocery store being on a need only basis, we have spent much time in the RV. Simple things such as toilet paper, flour, and hand sanitizer are no where to be found. As we wear our masks, passing others with feet between us, no one looks us in the eye. Not sure why that is. Is it a northern thing, fear of contracting the virus through eye-contact, or fear of being blamed for noncompliance of social distancing? Whatever it is, it is lonely. We miss the greetings, the smiles, the eye-contact, the acknowledgement that we are human, living in a human world.
Staying positive, we are glad we prepared as we did before this trip. Spending time in the RV and not eating out has resulted in many recipes on our blog! We have also developed some new recipes and will be posting them soon. School work, gardening, puzzles, baking, show binging, and reading are some of the other activities we have been partaking in to stay busy.
How have you been handling the quarantine?
