The past couple of weeks I have been just sitting and waiting to move on with this coronavirus. The house has already been fully explored and I am very bored. I wish school was back in school this Zoom thing is very boring and I like talking in person in the class. The school was shut down for over a month, I’m beginning to lose track of the days. The most I’ve done is move logs from trees that were cut down. The other things I’ve done consist of watching the news and playing video games.
I feel like I should put my mom in her own personal bubble to live in until the world is safe for her to return. She’s had pneumonia before and I just remember the way she looked and remember the sound of her struggled breaths. I would be so much more than devastated if something happened to her. She’s the rock of this household and the walking, living, breathing version of my heart. She is more stressed than I’ve ever seen her before.
I haven’t really been worried at all, the most stressful part about this for me is not being able to see the two people I have seen everyday and starting online school. Online isn’t hard its just new, different, and a little weird. It will definitely take me sometime to get used to it.
The last couple of weeks have been absolutely stressful and different. Since the school closed due to the coronavirus, life has been a bit of a mess so to speak. Everyone of course is freaking about the situation and decided to empty most shelves of supplies like toilet paper, hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes. I personally think it’s totally fine to buy maybe an extra couple of rolls to have on hand but I think people took it a bit extreme.
I think that the worst thing that has happened in the last two weeks was my birthday. It was the worst thing that has happened in the last two weeks because I was not able to spend it with my friends and have my family with over to celebrate. We had to do a video call to be able to talk to them. It was also really boring and there was nothing exciting that happened.
Honestly though one of the worst things that have happened so far in these few weeks is that still can’t find any tp in any of the local stores but we are down to the last few rolls left in the house. The best thing that has happened so far is converting all of my lights and including my car interior lights to led bulbs or getting smart lights for my bedroom I really love all the lights that I’ve installed so far.
For the past few weeks, my family has been mostly staying inside, only going out a few times to get groceries or run errands for other people or help out with the school lunches. On the week that this all started, we went to my aunt and uncle’s camp in Rangeley. Just me, my mom, and my dad. We wanted to try and get away from the drama and worries about the virus, and spending some time by ourselves at the camp was a very good idea. We had time to ourselves, we didn’t need to go anywhere, we had no major responsibilities, and it was quiet and calm.
I do feel a better sense of togetherness in my family, since we’re all helping each other out to get through this.
The worst thing that’s happened over the two weeks is my mom started working a lot more. She comes home just visibly so tired from the day, and I don’t blame her. I usually just let her come home and shower and sleep, so that means I haven’t really been spending a lot of time with her. I guess the only thing keeping me okay with that, is the fact that this will end sooner or later. I just hope she gets some time off soon.
These past few weeks have been challenging. We were told that due to Corona we can’t go to school until April 27. Throughout the week I have felt very bored and lonely. My work got shut down but my mom and sister are still working.
Honestly, I feel like I am repeating the same day over and over because all the conversations around me consist of the coronavirus. I choose not to watch tv anymore because it's just too much. I’ve been focusing more on my health and everytime I touch something I wash my hands, even if it's just a light switch. Once I heard our school was starting remote learning I was relieved, and the first day was a little stressful, but I’m trying to still adapt to the schedule along with the new type of work.
The last couple of weeks have been different. It's been weird not going to school and having my mom home all day. During the day time, I've been trying to do homework but have had no motivation at all to do anything. I've been learning to cook more and more, going outside and getting active, at home workouts, and trying to stay sane. I have noticed I have been getting super lazy because of this and because of it I just stay in bed and binge watch "The Office" and watch Tik Tok all day long. Looking back before the covid-19 thing happened, I would have never thought this would come to this. All of us and my friends were talking about it and we never ever thought it would get this bad.
The past couple weeks have been very difficult as far as being able to figure out what to do. With this odd pandemic going on it makes it hard for me to be out and active in the environment and see my close friends and hang out with people. Part of who I am is being social and having friends and right now that is kinda compromised and not there because we now just sit at home day after day doing online schooling and getting bored of our homes.
I’m not a huge video game player, so my days are now, get up, go on the virtual learning, do a bit of homework, use the drive to do a bit of other classes homework, and eat breakfast. At this point I just improvise the rest of my day, usually going with a bit of basketball, tv, workouts, and youtube until it’s nighttime.
