In reply to the discussion: My advice on staying at home... for what it's worth. [View all]samnsara
(17,622 posts)34. i had to start writing down what I wanted to get accomplished during the day..
...just small chores i keep putting off...because I can!!
MY GOD yesterday morning I sat down with a cup of coffee about 7am got caught up in a concert on TV (Pink Floyd @ Pompeii) and I didnt come up for air until 1 pm...and thats only because my dogs barked at me for lunch. But at least I didnt watch the news.
I have almost completly brushed out one of my Golden Retrievers and I ordered House of Seven Gables from Amazon to read (because Ozzie Nelson once said he read it 12 times...and I saw the house in Salem).
I live on 5 acres of forest so today we masked up and ran to town and got some tomato plants. Just trying to do something meaningful everyday.

This is a good list. I suggest an addition: zoom meeting with loved ones at least every few days.
