What have you been doing during quarantine? - April 26th 2020, 09:13 PM

What have you been up to during the quarantine?
  • I've been caring for my animals a lot, and spending more time with them.
  • I am still in school so I've been studying and notetaking, all that stuff.
  • We are allowed to hike where we are so I have been hiking a lot and I love it. Really nice to get outside.
  • I've been watching a little more TV.
  • Doing the usual stuff around the house, such as the dishes or laundry.
  • Trying new baking stuff! I want to try some more stuff soon though.
  • I have also been reading positive news stories about animals or about how people have been helping others during this time.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

Working through my courses at a higher rate.
Trying to enjoy my free time by enjoying some online gaming.
Catching up with TV programs I fell behind on.

The rest is mostly miserable stuff.

Binge watched 158 episodes in a span of four weeks. That's really the only impressive thing I've done during the quarantine so far. Trying to find something new to watch.

Then there's the minuscule stuff that should be taken care of all the time.

Re: What have you been doing during quarantine? - June 12th 2020, 03:47 PM

My university studies began to be held online. This is even more convenient, with the exception of the impossibility of laboratory experiments. I used to play a lot of computer games, but then the interest passed. I have quite a lot of curiosity so I prefer books and cognitive resources now. I remember the concept of angelic numbers - [EDIT: LINK REMOVED] There are many numerical combinations and all have their own meaning. This is a kind of numerology but is available to any beginner without much experience. This fascinated me for a couple of weeks)) I learned how to bake apple pie as mom does)) This is the advantage of quarantine for me)

As I said before, I prefer to use the extra time at home for learning. I have made it a rule to read at least three new books in a week. My parents work remotely now and make sure that I do not overexert myself)) I was lucky with them) Some of my friends have already gone through the disease but it was an easy option. Sometimes I think about how much the protection of the mask helps ... I read that the air purifier installed in your room protects better. My friends who live on campus decided to try it. And we have a central air purifier at home. Is it better or not? In general, I try to maintain a positive mood, but this does not always work.

I live in a house by the sea; we hvae a lot of land going up across the South Downs, so thru these dark times I work outside mending fences, tidying up our garden, checking our sea defences, shopping, cooking and doing household accounts.


We have a large antique shop out of town here, and when we get new items in, I do resto, carpentry if needed and research provenance if the antique looks like it has history and could be well known. If I find all these things, then we will get higher profit = more money in the bank.


It's been hard. I got infected with Coronavirus, but got well thankfully, but my twin sis didn't and escaped with her life for having intravenous pneumonia antibiotics.


Sadly she has post-covid fatigue what is very dibilitating, but she is slowly getting well again. But so far it's been 3 months.


3 long months.


I try my best to keep my loving fam together, tho sometimes it ent always easy. But for the most part I manage to get through the day.


There is good news tho! Vaccines are being tested! Once they get permitted, then the big roll-out will begin.


Hopefully by next summer everyone's lives could be back to normal. It's got to be something worth looking forward to!

I was studying for my finals and doing quite a lot of physical exercises at home - that was the time when I started exploring quarantine-targeted content and found a few very interesting YouTube channels that I still follow. I have never been on quarantine per se, luckily, but there were times in 2020 when leaving the apartment was restricted for everybody, not just the quarantined.

Also speaking of YouTube.. That is when I started watching podcasts and finding new channels to watch too. I then moved over to Spotify in 2021-2022 to find some.
