I've been in quarantine for a month now due to covid-19. I've only got to go out to a few stores for groceries. My husband,on the otherhand,has had to work.
I'm so glad we got married last year and not this year. I would have been devastated with the global epidemic of the co-vid19 coronavirus and the global shutdown vs trying to plan a wedding. It was crazy enough last year in making sure all the details were in order by picking the perfect dress, making sure decorations, flowers, and other items were ready and that everything was organized. It would have been tough scheduling some things because some items are nonessential so those businesses would have been closed like they are now.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think our first year of marriage would be in an epidemic or even in my lifetime. I am so grateful my husband and I have each other. I think it would have been much harder going through these crazy times if I was still single and living alone. The "social distancing" or isolation probably would have depressed me.
It is ironic that a lot of things are the opposite to what they normally are. The news used to announce that socializing only on social media such as Facebook, is bad for your mental health. Now they are telling us to self quarantine because of the coronavirus and only keep in contact with others through phone, internet or social media.
The stores always advertise to come in their stores. Now the stores are closed temporary or permanently and are telling us to stay away.
The news used to announce that it isn't good to use too much hand sanitizer. Now it feels like they are telling us to wash our hands and sanitizer our hands so much.
Another thing that's the opposite is a lot of people lost their jobs or have to stay home temporarily so they are spending a lot more time with their family. Before the quarantine, they were going to school or work or both. Then there were the families that have children with different interests so they were rushing after school to go to music practice, or sporting event, or other activities. And that didn't even include more sports practice and games on Saturdays or Sundays.
This is our new world right now. The unknown. No get togethers. No church services in buildings. No fellowships. No running to baseball practice. Nor enjoying hot meals inside a restaurant. No watching the hottest new movie at a theater or getting our favorite hair cut style. And absolutely no phycial contact with someone who doesn't live with you which is hard for me. I love to shake hands and give hugs to others
On a positive note, It is nice to see families spending more time together. And even though we have can't gone to church, they are watching the device remembering that the church building is not the I've been in quarantine for a month now due to covid-19.
