In the time of Corona

Right now the world is in full Coronavirus mode.
It's weird to see everyone freaking out over what I've been dealing with over the past 15 months. Though relatively speaking, a lot of these folks have it on Easy Mode. :P
Ah, I hope that doesn't sound snobby. It's just the truth!

Speaking of which, since it's all "been there, done that" for me, I'm making a guide of sorts for folks; a guide of tips of how to deal with quarantine/isolation, and the anxiety of having the symptoms of something you fear. I started writing it out last night. I hope it helps at least one person out!

Other than that, life continues as normal for me. I mean, I've had to be in isolation this past while already, I've already had to keep my distance from folks and be on the run from the common cold and seasonal flu anyway--at this point, I'm just going through a second/extended quarantine/isolation period. There was a short time in between the two isolation periods where I actually got out and about for a bit (in February), and I actually got to go to karaoke, a restaurant, and a couple of other places to celebrate my birthday, so I'm SUPER grateful for that. I also got to attend an event for the launch of the Final Fantasy 7 remake, which was amazing! Such much-needed fun. I'm just filled with so much gratitude that I got that short-lived little period of going back to a normal life, even though it was taken away pretty quickly. It sucks to go back into quarantine again so soon, but it's much easier this time as everyone's gotta do it along with me.

If anything, all this Corona shit has almost made my life easier in a way, because now I always have people online to talk to (well, a bit more often than before anyway), and Mike is always home, so now I'm less lonely.
But otherwise, no changes in my lifestyle. Life's weird that way, huh?

After all these years, I still think EVERY DAY about what a luxury it is to walk around my own home in bare feet and feel the wooden floor b...
