solo's place.
1. Are you an Essential Worker?
Yes, but I only work part time. I'm not one of those poor sods in a job where the hours suddenly got so much longer.
2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started?
The same as before, wine with dinner every night.
3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts?
No kids, three cats, and they are delightfully entertaining :-)
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?
Every morning of my life I get up and try and figure out which of the many things I'd like to do I can actually weave into the time. New hobbies are the last thing I need...
5. How many grocery runs have you done?
The same we always do - one mass shop every 3 weeks when we stuff the freezer and cupboards, then a top up shop once a week or so between for fresh fruit and the like.
6. What are you spending your stimulus check on?
Not getting one.
7. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine?
We were supposed to go out for a nice dinner for the SO's birthday that didn't happen. We won't be doing anything for my birthday either, but we often don't. We had tickets for The Book of Mormon in May that's been postponed. That was supposed to be our anniversary outing, but luckily the big celebratory number was last year, so it's not that big a deal.
8. Are you keeping your housework done? Ish?
Nope, but that's not new.
9. What movie have you watched during this quarantine?
Aniara is the only one. I heard of it a couple of months ago and it sounded interesting. It was interesting, but not great. It floated a bunch of ideas that it didn't really follow through on. Mostly I watch TV series.
10. What are you streaming with?
Hulu and Netflix. I get my HBO through Hulu, which is the most important part!
11. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby?
I've spent all my adult life deliberately not reproducing. At my age, it would be extremely unlikely now even if I really fucked up.
12. What's your go-to quarantine meal?
We cook the same things we always have. The only thing that's new for quarantine is we've started ordering take-out once a week to help support the struggling restaurants. The Thai place 3 minutes up the road do a great tod mun with a really spicy sauce, and a lovely pineapple curry :-)
13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid?
Nope. We're low risk for severe covid anyway, and my chances of being killed by a moron in an SUV on my way to work have been massively reduced. It all evens out.
14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time?
No, thankfully. We have had some speed glitches, especially around a week ago, that made trying to raid in my MMO something of a bitch. I kept lagging out and crashing. It seems to have evened out now.
15. What month do you predict this all ends?
Define 'end'. It's not an on/off switch, the return to normal will be gradual over months.
16. First thing you're gonna do when you get off quarantine?
Go for a hike. Or a dive.
17. Where do you wish you were right now?
I'm at home, and perfectly happy to be here.
18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most?
Travelling. My trip to Chicago in May is now postponed to next year. I'm praying I can still keep my diving trip to Mexico to see the whale sharks at the end of August...
19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer?
Nope. Toilet roll stocks in the stores here are low, but never empty. I have a hand sanitiser in my handbag that's still going.
20. Do you have enough food to last a month?
We did our regular massive shop two days ago, so yep :-) Though the last week of the month, choices would be getting a bit sparse. If I'd answered this quiz on Sunday, that would have been a hard no!
