It’s been a wild few weeks here as the city went under lockdown. I started staying at home a week before the order was issued as my job told us all to work from home since we have multiple people with compromised immune systems. It’s going well but sucks being cooped up and hearing all the stressful news. My pets are loving me being at home though, they have been dubbed my office assistants!

Being cooped up can start to get a person down. It's good you have your pets. I'm sure they help keep you sane in these mad times.

I go for a drive if I get too cooped up. Or make my once a week run to the store.

It would be so much better if we all stayed home. Glad you can do it.

I don't watch the news often, but I'm able to keep up with what is happening. I've been pretty much staying in since the government asked us to.

The big issue is many people are following directions.

It is funny that way I am usually at home more than outside but now that I should be inside I feel like I want to go outside,

I turn the tv off after hearing the headlines. My cats love me at home. I do a lot of bird watching as well.

I am glad I can get out and walk around even just at home. Hopefully this is over soon.
