Quarantine: Day ?

I did it before it was cruel.

---

I have been in "self-quarantine" since December of 2019. Back when it was solely a "choice". I moved to a new apartment, in a new city, planning to have new plans and new goals. This was all before Covid-19 was a thing. I spent the month of December believing I would and could do all these great things, however, severe depression and anxiety kicked in and I only left the house to walk my dog. This also led to me making my dog depressed...whoops.

Aside from walking Koda, I would only venture out to get food. This coming from a normally adventurous person, I've literally gotten lost on purpose before kinda adventurer. January came around, then February, then March...and I still only left the house for food. I took my dog to my mom's house so that I wouldn't have to even go outside to walk him. That's how self-isolated I had become. I think the longest I went without stepping past my apartment entrance was six to seven days, and that was only to get food. Then the virus spread from one country to the next, from one body to another, and so on.

My self-isolation went from a choice to a suggestion to then it being mandatory. (For me, mandatory for health reasons.)

Where on one side someone could just think, "well you've been doing it for the last few months, you must be used to it by now?" The adventure in me is saying, "I need to get out and explore! This is now self-made torture!"

Funny enough, aside from the virus threat preventing me from going outside, my brain's also going, "you have a good parking spot, don't wanna lose that!" So that's been fun.

My self-quarantine and destruction is still very much going on.

Like the rest of the world (mostly America who collectively refuses to just follow a few rules) I am wondering when things will go "back to normal".

Until then I've got to learn new ways of entertaining myself and being production since I've mastered the mundane during my own self-isolation phase.

I'm sure there's something...

While I go figure that out, I hope you, that found your way to this rambling blog of mine, are being careful, healthy, and looking forward to things ahead.

My best,

Chelsea
