Staying Home During Coronavirus

Quarantine.


I'll admit it's not affecting me as hard as it is others that rely on working away from home, have small children at home and/or normally social.

I live with 2 retirees.  Mom seems to be ok since she's still working on decorating and setting up her new home.  She's still removing items from storage boxes and ordering online.  She's keeping busy.

Her husband doesn't seem to be bothered much about staying home except that his early morning gym sessions have halted.  He putters around the house and watches TV.

Life almost feels the same as it did a month ago before the Coronavirus outbreak.

Me?  I'm cool.  I'm an introvert so staying home and doing activities alone are my modus operandi.  I'm working on building my YouTube page, and my 2 websites - Allie Rambles and Start a Simple Life.

If you're curious, Allie Rambles is about my hiking and outdoor life.  I'm giving away all my dirt loving secrets there.

Start a Simple Life is practical ways to live a more simple life.

As long as we have Internet and WiFi our daily lives are ok.

I feel bad for the people that truly are struggling day to day with staying home. Or worse, they have experienced a loved one become ill or pass due to this virus.  I keep them in my mind and heart everyday to remind me that I can be a carrier with no symptoms and spread it unknowingly.

How are you doing through all this?  What are you grateful for?  Struggle with?

Stay healthy and safe everyone!

The Problem I Have with Dating in Midlife

I read an article on Medium yesterday about dating in your 50's called  My Problem with First Dates and Fifty-Something-Year-Old Men . This reminded me of the few dating months I experienced years ago. I dated 5 men starting about 6 months after my divorce was official.  I dated for about 8 months or so then stopped - cold turkey style. That was 5 years ago.  Since then I've had NO INTEREST in dating or meeting anyone new at all.  That includes female friendships. When I made this decision I felt selfish.  I wanted life for a while to be all about ME.  Is that so bad? I wanted to explore who I am.  Taking off from about 21 years of age when I was last officially single and see who the hell I was then, for the last 30+ years and who I want to be. This was around the same time I started my simple living journey . I just wanted life for me to be simple for a while.  I needed to be only in my head; I couldn't have anyone else cloud who...

I'm Done with Hearing About Covid-19

I know, I sound like a selfish, heartless bitch. "WAH!  Can't Covid just go away already?!" But you know you are all thinking it. It dominates my social feeds, my news, and even discussions with those I speak with.  When I get gas - the threat looms.  When I get groceries - the threat looms.  When I walk the neighborhood - the threat looms! Don't touch anything. Don't touch your face. Stay 6 feet back. And if someone sneezes or coughs in public we're all panicking. I fully understand the dangers of the Covid-19.  People are dying. ********** I'm angry. I'm frustrated. I'm disappointed. WHY? My life rests on depending on the idea that others will be responsible.  And I have no faith that they will be. I don't like that I'm at the mercy of the masses - that in my eyes tend to mostly make bad decisions. How many don't wash their hands after using the restroom?  Before eating?  After changing a baby diaper?  ...

Am I Crazy or Is That You Perimenopause?

Ok, here it goes. Once a month, usually for a day I get BAT-SHIT-CRAZY. Really.  This is no joke. A couple of months ago I was so hurt, angry and hopeless I wished I would die the pain was so horrible in my head. That's an extreme. Typically I'm super grumpy and feel like I want to punch walls and people out.  I don't, FYI. What the heck is happening? It's my hormones.   It started a couple of years ago, the VERY STRONG emotions right before my period.  It took me a few months to understand this was something happening on a regular basis, each month, and during my monthly cycle.  I thought I was just an angry woman going crazy after my divorce and becoming an empty nester.  Huge life changes like that can make your a little angry and anxious for sure. Luckily I started seeing a pattern. I took action.  I thought, "How can I make this stop?"  I hate what I think and sometimes do during this time of the month. Digging a...
