I find it difficult to keep focused on any one task.  Hence, I'm not being very productive.

  I hear you on that one.  I only have small bursts of energy.   I have felt energy less going on 3 weeks now.

I love that idea...... one room a day..   Now why didn't I think of that.   Doesn't sound too over whelming.   Thank you for that.

I'm being a bit lazier than normal. Can't go to the gym as it's closed. Husband is working from home and on the phone a lot so I have to be quite. I can walk outside but come April it will start getting to hot to do that. I've been making it a point of cleaning one room a day.

I ventured out this morning for the first time in awhile. To replenish the groceries we've used in the last several days. 

Our grocery store was really crowded for 8:45 AM. But I'll tell you. Deli fully stocked. Rotisserie chickens cooked and ready much earlier than usual. Bakery full stocked. There was some meat, instead of an empty meat display. 

Employees and outside vendors everywhere you looked. Really hustling to restock. I made a point of thanking several on my way through and telling them how much I appreciate them being open. 

So, I made it to the frozen vegetable aisle. Three employees restocking. I said something to them and then, a few tears ran down my face. Right there in frozen foods. One of the employees looked over and asked it I was ok. Oh yeah, I said, it's just overwhelming to see how hard everyone here is working to make sure MY family and all the other families have food and supplies. It just makes me emotional."  He said that he too has found all of this very overwhelming. 

I mean, they're there, perhaps risking their own health. To make sure I can buy scallions. I was just very humbled by it. 

So I cried at the grocery store today. A first.

And now I'm home, hopefully for another several days, before I venture out again.

Claustrophobic.  Nowhere to go, nothing to do.  Very depressing.  Don't know how long this can last.
