quarantine week 1

To start out this weeks blog post, I want to give a shoutout to my grandma and grandpa. Thank you for reading all of my blog posts, and always leaving comments!! I love you guys, thanks for being my biggest fans!!!

Week one of my quarantine has now been completed. I am quite proud of myself. Currently symptom free, besides the headaches I get from staring at screens all day.

My mom (god bless her) allowed us to get a spin bike that Steel Wheels was renting. We got it for $40 a week plus $5 for shoes. I have been loving this because it is way too cold to go outside, and I set up my yoga mat next to it so I can do all of my workouts easily. Its a great set up.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts about the quarantine so far and what I have noticed. The biggest thing I have noticed is the insane amount of memes being circulated. Another shout out to grandpa, I saw the memes you sent my mom those are hilarious. You have a great sense of humor. This large meme production to be expected, but some of them I find extremely annoying. The particular category of memes that bothers me are the ones about how we should all get on a schedule, clean our closets, organize shit, and be productive. Honestly, this is super uncalled for and needs to stop. During a pandemic is not the time for anyone to be telling each other what they should or should not be doing (besides washing their hands, social distancing etc). If one day I wake up at 2pm, and the only thing I do that day is eat bread and watch Love Is Blind, that is that. If the next day I choose to wake up at 9am and be productive, that is also great and no one should comment on it.

I have also noticed that I find myself being really annoyed by the sound of other humans voices. Specifically, I am talking about the humans I currently am quarantined with. My family. I am not sure if this feeling just pertains to me… But, after hearing the same voices day and night, even if they are not talking to me, I get extremely angry. One thing I have done to solve this issue is journal about how angry it makes me. I have also chosen to sit outside for long periods of time, where I cannot hear anyones voice.

On a more positive note, I have taken this time to really get into cooking. Most days I find it to be the most productive thing I can get myself to do, and I have actually been enjoying it. I am going to post some of my recipes on my “food” page if anyone wants to check them out. Not right now, I’ll probably get to that later this week. If you’re not interested in checking them out, thats cool. I respect you and your choice to not cook vegan food during this quarantine. haha.

I have also been spending a lot of time with my cats. They’re so cute I love them the most ever.

Happy quarantining!!!
