My right arm is starting to get a little tired but other than that things are relatively ok.

My wife and I are fortunate enough to be able to travel a lot. It's kind of the thing we do that makes everything else worth it.
Thus far, we've canceled a trip to New Orleans with her parents this coming week. I have a trip planned to see a friend in St. Louis in 2 weeks. Trip to Italy this summer is almost certainly off. And a trip to NYC this summer to show my parents the City is in jeopardy. I can't really complain. My job, while not 100% assured, is relatively stable. But man....the highs in life for the foreseeable future have been replaced with an indefinite period of sitting at home bored. That sucks. |

We’re closing tomorrow at 6 until it’s safe to reopen. All of us are healthy and we have more than most. We won’t be going to California and our Europe trip for next year might have to be moved back, but overall I’m just trying to look at this as a staycation and be glad I have tons of pto and stored assets.

And to your point. In approx 7 days I will no longer be a carrier & the latest reports are your immune for possibly a year. That said I could offer my services to the local hospitals Volunteer or find a job offer. Volunteer I would do it just to get out & feel good about something. A job though to do both work & help would be great! I'll bet I'm far from the first person to think hospitals would love to have a Grunt around that is clear & immune. Just saying.. |

I voted 5 only because on Jan 1st it looked like this was the year we got back on track after a couple very tumultuous years. Now everything is up in the air again. I don't even want to know what's happened to the Mrs' 401k.
Then I read a post like Iron Chief's and it puts things right into perspective. I really have nothing to complain about. There's only so much I can control, so I'm just trying to be smart in my day to day activities and hope for the best. And in kind of an odd way, I'm enjoying the things I have more than I did before this mess got started. There's always a silver lining, just gotta look for it. Stay strong my friends! |
I still have a job (for today at least), food and money. Sitting at home? Whatever.
We're being asked to sit at home for awhile, not fight in a war. |
Socially I'm a 10. It's actually pretty pleasant to hang around the house for a while.
Physically I'm an 8. Really, the only problem is just a worry that I'll get sick or that my grocery store will run out of food. Both are low likelihood, but they're floating in the back of my mind. Financially, I'm a 3, if that. Maybe a 2. My retirement money took a major hit and my company is almost certainly going to take a major hit. I really hated the Great Recession, and this is running a similar course. On average, then, it's a 7, but I'll bump it to 8 because my physical concerns are probably overwrought. |
