I can go walk at my local parks and only see 3-4 people and there's so much space. But some areas had to shut down everything because everyone keeps gathering. <br /><br />And I have no lines to my grocery stores but most of my friends in the US and all around the world have to wait in long lines and it's an hours long affair.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-45031433080069217372020-04-16T11:53:08.835-04:002020-04-16T11:53:08.835-04:00I'm such a lover of spring.

Someone on Twitter was saying they were sad they couldn't sit out on their back deck because we aren't allowed to go outside unless we are getting groceries. 😄La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-59875080556979209812020-04-14T06:25:51.021-04:002020-04-14T06:25:51.021-04:00I relate so much to the emotional rollercoaster.

I'm glad you're staying safe though and don't have to worry about your job situation. Lol, it is funny to think you can't even avoid being invited to things during quarantine.

A lot of people are acting like people don't a right to be sad about missing the little things when the world has bigger problems but I'm one of those people who lives life in the little details so it's the loss of those that's getting to me the most.

You in the U.S. went into lockdown after us, so it's still a long way to go, I guess. Brace yourself.

And it's totally understandable to mourn the things that are different, or that you've lost, while still being grateful that you're healthy and all that. It's such a weird time in the world, and it can definitely get overwhelming. I'm trying to read more, but it's sometimes slow going, which is okay. I love that you do socially distant Hallmark movie watches with a friend. I wonder if I have a friend I could get to do that...or any movie really.

I was meant to be going to a Tutankhamun exhibit last weekend, I was really excited for it, and obviously the trip was cancelled. I am so grateful I’m home safe and my family is all in good health, but it’s ok to be upset you’re missing things. We all are and hopefully it means we appreciate the little things that bit more when life starts to return to normal. You made me smile saying if you can’t avoid people in a pandemic when can you. I normally see myself as an introvert but I’m suddenly eager to go out and see people. maybe I’m more extroverted than I originally thought. or maybe being stuck at home alone is wearing me down.<br /><br />Glad you finished and enjoyed a book. And you enjoyed picard? I’ve seen the first 2 episodes and then fell behind but what I’ve seen was really good.

It's all so ridiculous... the mask stuff cracks me up too, which is good I guess since humor helps to alleviate all the bad. <br /><br />My reading's been whatever too. Ooh War of the Worlds though- I saw a preview for that and thought it looked really good, but just wasn't sure. Glad to see someone's checked it out and that it was good!
