Life in Lockdown

Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path...

In all honesty, I've tried to start this post several times now. I know that there's so much to write about. All that's happening in the world right now. It seems we've all taken a grip of the situation to some degree. Panic buying is a thing of the past, or so it would seem. Toilet paper is appearing on the supermarket shelves and many of the larger supermarket chains in the UK were imposing a limit on the number of items people could buy. I don't know if this is still the case. I haven't ventured further than the local corner shop in weeks. I haven't had the energy to get the shopping home by bus (the joys of not owning my own car or having a driver's license). I heard, the other night, that the social distancing in the UK may last for the duration of 2020. I don't know what to think. Part of me is glad because it reduces the spread of Coronavirus but I miss the social contact. I'm the type of person who loves hugs.

In the bubble that is my home, not much is happening. We moved a few months ago, to a much smaller apartment, which has left Andy and myself trying to make sure we get enough time in together as well as our alone time. As I write this I can hear Andy's game in the next room. We're trying to find ways to deal with being housebound all the time. I've spent so much time reading, job hunting, filling in forms (for various jobs) and trying to recharge. I'll write a post about the job situation soon. I'm just waiting for somethings to fall into place before I write.
