Today I feel better

But things are still really weird. I've been self isolating for about 4 days or so, and honestly, I'm going crazy. I knew I was a extrovert, but this week is really driving that point home... and I'm not even totally isolated! Kyle and I played games at our good friend's house a few nights ago, and I've been face timing my mom regularly. My best friend is coming over later today. I wonder, am I doing enough? Enough to stay sane? Enough to do my part in keeping my community safe?

Like most of us, I am worried about the future. What will it be like in two weeks? Will we have a total quarantine? What if myself or my family contract the virus? What if someone we know does? Will there be another earthquake? How long will it take for job interviews to pick back up? How long will companies continue to be able to pay their employees? Since I quit my job, would I even qualify for government aide from the stimulus bill? I have a doctors appointment in April to renew my prescriptions... will I even get to go? Would it be selfish to?

It's a lot to think about.

On the plus side, my house is the cleanest it has been since we moved in. My dog is thrilled that I'm home all the time. I have plenty of time to apply for jobs and do so thoroughly. I have time to read, like, for fun. My closet is perfectly organized. I'm eating way healthier than normal because I'm cooking everything myself instead of eating out. I've gotten plenty of sleep.

I want to hear about you. What are your questions about the world right now? What side effect of the craziness are you most grateful for?
