What Have You Learned

coffee drinker — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 20:15:04 GMT

With all the time on our hands, and so many talking about "classes" on-line, I wonder what new experience have you tried/done? For me, it cut my husband's hair. Checked out a few videos on You Tube and figured, what the heck. It's hair and it'll grow back. So earlier this afternoon, we went on the porch and I got my Conair shears and went to town. DH has a buzz cut -- the shorter the better. It came out pretty good if I do say so myself. DH was pleased, too, but forgot to tip me.

@mods would you please move this to community chat

Learned:

I cut my own bangs and it looks okay
Hubs shaved his head -- doesn't look okay - not yet. I'll get used to it
Working from home -- I'm not as good at technology as I thought I was. Much more confident at work. Having to learn new applications just because it needs to be done and I've lost some sleep over it. Boo
There's some items I need to replace in the kitchen.
Any doubts I had about retiring in February have vanished. I'm ready.
Technology is a life saver for staying in touch with family and friends.
I actually love long drives with Pandora or audio books - something you don't take the time to do in your busy life
A few facebook friends I've known for decades, who claim faith is so important to them are actually negative, frightened, narrow minded people. The worst came out in them during this challenging time. I snoozed them for 30 days.

The one thing I learned was not to stress over what I can not control. I was really losing it over the Covid virus and then I read a line in a list of calming yourself down and it said what I wrote above. So, I can not tell you how a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I make sure I follow all the safety guidelines. 🙏❤️

That I don't need to be running around all the time to different stores, buying things I don't need to make me happy.

I can be happy at home with a lot less.

Me and hubby started learning Tai Chi. Bought a dvd on Amazon and it is really amazing stuff. Keep the house very quiet and enjoy the deep breathing and slow movements.

It's been very zen

How to wash my hands like a surgeon. That is about it. I have not learned anything positive from this disaster.

I took a few tutorials on painting with watercolors. It's not as easy as I thought it would be.

@LindaSal I took Tai Chi at the gym. Quite relaxing and intense at the same time.

@coffee drinker

I am working full time and don’t have a minute more time than before. No time to take on new projects.

I haven't learned anything. I've spent more time reading and watching Netflix or cable tv. I've gone on many long walks.

I feel very restricted and will likely go full steam ahead with the freedom I hope to have one day.

I’m still working too @willdob3 I took leave today and tomorrow. I’ve been working on the yard and I hadn’t been to groceries in about 2 1/2 weeks so I took care of that too.
