COVID Struggles

#1 Post by Chaqa » Thu Apr 09, 2020 3:17 pm

I keep getting emails about ordering Chipotle delivery. This would be fine and all, except...

THEY DONT DELIVER TO WHERE I LIVE

Anyone else struggling with things these days?

Seriously though, who really likes Chipotle? It is incredibly bland...

Eh, I thought I caught the virus yesterday because I was struggling with breathing, yet I had no fever. It turned out worse, I have air hunger now. On a forum, I saw many people get it during this confinement. That's something terrible.

Edit: Mine is a psychological thing, not a real O2 shortness.

It is possible that the need to stay inside at all times makes people to feel suffocating as they are closed between walls.
Here to go to a courier service is not included in the exceptions from the curfew. So if something is not delivered you cannot go and take it.

In all honesty I'm rather enjoying it. Long walks in the country, time to catch up on reading, doing jobs around the house I've been putting off for years, and have been chatting to the neighbours more than I have for yonks. Work commitments are right down, but we're all keeping in touch. Sure, it'd be nice to go out and see friends and family a bit, but we're talking over the phone as much or more than ever.

The shortages at the supermarkets before the lock down have all ended, and never caused any issues over the week and a half they existed. I've been trying out new recipes. Costs are way down, and by complete fluke we got a year's worth of theatre trips down in the first couple of months of the year, so we're not missing it.

Life is really good.

Good to hear you’re doing some jobs around the house Octavious. I’ve told my Significant other that I’ll probably get round to doing my jobs when the next pandemic hits. I think normally she’d have left me, but lockdown has prevented that.

I think I might have one of the Covid-19 symptoms. I’ve lost my sense of taste. Yes, I’ve bought some Coldplay CDs from Amazon.

In all of Southern California, so far as I know, there is one functioning drive-in theater. I've taken the kids twice for double features. We take our own goodies, so we don't have to have any contact, and it is a nice way to get out of the house. Personally, I prefer living in a cave, so being home-bound doesn't bother me, but it is a real boon for the 11- and 13-year-olds.

Stress is a horrible thing. It can mimic everything from sciatica, to breathing issues. It can even cause real physical issues like joint problems (not just pain, but misaligning your joints).

Good luck, and if you can afford it a lot of mental health professionals are doing remote treatment now; some on a sliding scale if you can't afford it.
