How are you holding up, mentally, during these strange days?
What are you doing to not weaken?

My yard is beauitiful. The pecan bottom is shredded. Gonna help the wife with her garden this week. Have gotten a lot of things done I have been putting off for months if not years. Ironically, I have gotten a taste of what retirement life will be like and I like it! Unfortunately, retirement may have moved out a few years. We shall see.Midnight Rider said:

I'm in a weird place to genuine, deep concern for the future and enjoying extra time with my family.
My sleep loss is less to do with catching Wuhan Virus and more about what our world looks like in six months.
The litmus test for reality vs. fake news will be the risk of Election Day being postponed! LOL.Florda_mike said:Flaming Moderate said:

I'm experiencing same things as this ^^^
Certainly could drag to Election Day as that's what democrats want and they control the fear machine we call media

My son is a big time introvert, he likes being around people, but he really likes this shelter in place gig for now. I am just having to make sure he works out every day to keep him fit.quash said:

Focusing on taking care of family along with doing what work I can from home.
I have also re-watched the Baylor vs Texas football game. It helped.

Watching the Baylor/Texas game would be somewhat depressing as for one there may not be a season in 20 and possibly even 21 and then second I wonder what will be the state of affairs look for college athletics and university finances etc. in the after math. I think this event is changing America's culture for a while on a level not seen since 1929.
BTW how is your mom?

I am retired, and this is far from retirement. One of my common statements, and that of many of my retired friends is that "I don't know how I had the time to work full time" while I was working.Forest Bueller_bf said:
This is the strangest period of time I have encountered, and looking at our history, may go down as one of the most unusual happenings we will ever see.
I'm doing fine, though I really do miss interacting with lots of people on a regular basis. If this is more what retirement is like, I will probably delay retirement as long as possible.
But. everything is marching on.
I really miss that my son will miss his entire track season. He is a Freshman, so he wasn't taking down Jr./Sr. kids in his event, though for his age group, he does well. If he adds 50 lbs of muscle like I did from my Freshman to my Senior year, he will be very competitive then.
I feel bad for the last-year kids from elementary school to college. Imagine you leave on Friday for Spring Break and never return to high school or college - miss prom, graduation, parties with friends, etc. Say you dedicated your life to a sport or art, and you never get to do it organized again. That sucks.Forest Bueller_bf said:

Lucky to be healthy along with all my family. Its selfish I know but I am really depressed. I am being allowed to work from my computer and phone so its like I have 4.5 months of summer vacation.
But theres no where to go. I usually work in Thailand on my summer travels but its shut down. Every place I planned on going, Laos, Hong Kong, Manila, Cambodia, and Vietnam are closed. I will hang out in AK for a few weeks and see what changes. I have gone ice fishing a few times and ridden the snow go but I am ready for warmer climes. It was 9F with 6 inches of snow this week.
Seriously anybody know of any here that is open? Canada warned me about getting stuck and he was right.

Yes I am working in my cabin now. No need to go in. Ironic that for the first time in my life I can work from anywhere but there is nowhere to go.
I can get to Seattle and really anywhere in the U.S. I didnt plan on spending my summer in Texas.
