I miss having my friends coming over every Friday to have a crafting and chatting session. I also miss going to a card making class at a local craft shop and seeing other friends there. I hope that shop survives all this as its my favourite place to get my papercraft supplies.

Well, I live with two other teachers who are also still teaching via online classes, so that is...interesting. As it turns out, our internet is pretty far from spectacular. All in all, though, it hasn't been bad- at least, there hasn't been anything new that I have learned to be annoyed by. I live out in the country side and life is basically just continuing as normal out here, just with school and a few jobs being from home. Aside from that, I just really want to be allowed to go to church again.

Today is our first day of level 3, which means we can order coffee's, takeaways, go swimming at the beach, we can add an extra person into our bubble, could be family, friend, someone in need etc. Some businesses are allowed to start back up, school children of those working are allowed back to school. We all, even the workers, teachers and school children need to abide by the distance rule. It's going to be extra busy out there again - it's has been nice having the quiet streets :)

- How are you finding it?

Alright.

- Are you finding things out about your family, friends, flatmates that you never knew?

Nope.

- Are people's habits starting to annoy you?

Nope, thats why (wife and I) we're married in the first place

What are some of the irritants that are affecting you?

People who spreads misinformation without providing enough context from first hand source material of recent studies on the virus. This includes citing media statements, which in most cases never provide enough context. Big thanks to the researchers who do this tedious work!

Thats why we are apparently have the cure for cancer every year. Yeah.... its not that simple journalist, do your job, provide enough context and read the studies properly!

Added a sprained ankle to what I am juggling right now. I didn't go to the only medical facilities open on the weekends (Urgent Care/ER), because COVID-19 cases are spiking on my side of the state and these places accept walk-ins.

Maybe this is more than an annoyance, but you aren't supposed to go to Urgent Care or the ER if you suspect you have COVID-19, but people are doing whatever the fuck they want leaving people like me wondering if it is worth the risk to go. It feels like more and more people here are defying the stay at home order just because...and protests are a daily thing even if they don't make it to the national/international news.

I'm just kind of hoping it isn't broken, lol. It isn't acting like it is broken, but it doesn't seem to be getting better either. I can go in to my private doctor tomorrow, hopefully. Honestly, I am not even sure what is open or the fact that I work at a local "hotspot" will exclude me from being able to seek private care. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

That's no good, take care! I hope your A&E have good hygiene practices in place. At our A&E they built a room, and a large tent. You can't just walk into A&E since covid-19, you first walk through the tent, and wait outside the building they built, you go in and a nurse who's in protective gear asks you a list of questions before you are allowed to enter, you are given hand sanitizer to use, your paperwork is given to another staff person who is also in protective gear, s/he walks you into A&E and gives the paper work to the receptionist... You can't sit anywhere, there are seats marked with a big X to stop people from sitting to close to each other. You are not allowed to go in with family or friends, you have to be alone. So it's pretty well safe for individuals.

Sounds like cool hobbies you have.

I'm going to make a dreamcatcher. I know you can buy them easily and quite cheaply, but I want to make a huge one that is unique and I can hang in my window.

Look like the Japan lockdown got extended to May 30th so even more animes might get delayed :/
To be honest not personal, but that's one of the things I do like about this.
I see children's back on street just play with toys!
Just like old days have fun with a radiographic car, play around in the dirt etc.
It really reminds me of my older days when we did not just sit behind this stupid pc and just game a bit.

Also music will become a little better in my opinion.
People invent more things because they are bored.

Sure financial this is bad and for health to, but I do think it helps to realize we just have a way to good time for some years and this is kind of wake up call.

Then again Runescape is still a great thing and here I am just play this game, because its Runescape you cannot quit it haha :P

Don't be one those idiots who waits until it's too damn late for you to get proper help just because you are afraid of a virus.

If I was afraid of going to the doctor, it's possible I would have ended up with sepsis from a cist in my underarm bursting.. As it is I have scar tissue down the inside of my arm becuause it grew so rapidly.

You're odds of catching it from a visit to the doctor or the hospital are so ridiculously slim it's not even funny. Just go if you need to. Leader of The Enemy ||
