No idea... That's pretty good considering most of the stuff I read is 400+ pages

Yes. Definitely. Not trying to one up you or anything. What have you been reading? Have you joined my What’s Everyone Reading thread?

I'm definitely sick of it. But I'd rather be sick OF it than sick DURING it, so I'm coping.
We're expecting a total shutdown, shortly, so DD just made a solo run (in my freshly Lysol-treated car) to the private outrider farm where the horses overwintered. She wants to make sure everything is well mucked out and prepped. She's planning to bring down enough hay and straw from the loft to take care of both our horses and the owner's retirees. I wish ours were home, right now, though. They're wonderful therapy ... for all of us!

That was my first outing this morning
Delivering bales of hay to my sisters horse

I'm about to ask my husband to buy me alcohol. Maybe it'll help my mind

We’ve been living this situation really for years now, dh and I both run businesses out of the home, plus our little farm, and we were both raised in the country so this hoarding behaviour and social isolation is just the norm!
We learned early on to keep some kind of routine, as someone else said, which means no all-day jammies or sitting around- find things to do! Even I, the red-necked country girl, put on a bit of makeup every morning, even if I’m alone and won’t see another living soul that day, just because it helps get me in work mode lol.

I also ordered a bator last night...ohhhh those late night Amazon searches! It seems like I may not be able to get chicks of any sort from anywhere this year, even the few locals who had barnyard mixes for sale online are sold out and are taking orders into June! So I’ll make my own I guess.

I do all of this already. I've pretty much been in quarantine for over 2 months some of the was in the hospital.

I've been in constant watch for my health for over 10 years that's 5+ Dr visits a month usually for the last 10 years. I can't count how many times I've been hospitalized in those 10 years, but I would say probably a good 3 to 4 years of that has been lived in the hospital.

I know this isolation is needed to keep me safe because there is no other option for me besides dying if I catch this and I will be intubated. That has been expressed to me numerous of times from all of my specialists.

I'm just trying to take every day One day at a time, but today has been quite an emotional rollercoaster for me.

My life used to be fun going to TSC if it's the most I could do. But now it's all been taken away. I feel ripped off at this point.

I went shopping online and it made me happy again. Got 13,500 seeds all heirloom non GMO and organic plus a harris farm two seater nesting box. My chickens will benefit more than me from this shopping trip.

Focus on the hatch a long! I can't wait to see how many of the 123 eggs I set will hatch!
