It's May Day!
May. 1st, 2020 03:48 pmGov. Abbott may have issued an Executive Order to 'reopen' the state at 25% capacity, but he can't make people go out if they don't feel safe enough to do so.And since the COVID-19 numbers still look bad, I still have no plans to return to Public Life.
TBH, I have gone out ONCE, and that was because the bank wouldn't let Himself use cash to pay off my credit card. I had to do it myself. Well, guess which credit caard won't be getting much use for a while?? Yep. No thank you, Chase - I won't open a savings account with you so I can transfer funds every month. You just don't have a decent interest rate compared to what I already have.
But I am hoping the news about potential treatments and vaccines pans out. That sort of news will be the kind that gets me back out of my seclusion.

I think I've really got a bad case of "Quarantine Fatique". Just no real compelling reason to do much of anything. But then what explains that same feeling before the Pandemic? Because this feeling is nothing new to me. There have been so many times in my life where I was asking myself "Why bother?" when it came to doing anything. And it's not a good place to be. But I have to keep reminding myself that this is NOT the way it has always been, that there WILL come a time when I DO have a change to experience something different, if I want to. That's the difference - so many times in the past it wasn't up to me because someone else was controlling me. And yes, there were times when I let them, but there were others when I had no choice in the matter.

We sat down last Sunday and watched both Avengers: Infinity War and Terminator: Dark In that order and all on the same day. Personally, that's entirely too much time sitting on my ass, but he wanted it that way. (I was so stiff afterward it was painful!) Plus, too much caffeine and too much snacking ment I went to bed with a headache. But they were both fun Yeah - now is not the time for something deep and dark.

I'm trying to expand our diets to include more healthy ingredients, but it's been difficult.. I'm not going with him to the grocery, so I don't get to see what's on the shelves. And unless I specifically ask for something, he tends to default to the known, predictable, usual things. *sugh*
Yet another reason I need to be doing more prep work to make the changes I can once I'm back out.
