anarfea1. Are you an Essential Worker? No. But I'm still "working from home" when not napping due to existential ennui.
2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started? Probably not that many. Husband has been making lemonade with gin, but he usually puts in a couple of shots worth in a whole liter soda siphon so it's not exactly that hard. And we picked up a six pack of hard cider about a week ago. I last got drunk at the Virtual 221b Con. That involved drinking moonshine.
3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts? I'm so glad I'm CFBC right now.
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this? No new hobbies, but I've been spending more time on my usual hobbies, namely writing, knitting, and spinning.
5. How many grocery runs have you done? No idea. We're really close to the grocery store and we have no pantry and a small fridge, so we usually go to the store a couple times a week.
6. What are you spending your stimulus check on? Most of mine will go to savings. I did give some to friends who have more need than I, and I bought some new bobbins for my spinning wheel and some fiber.
7. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine? I already missed 221b Con, which was... kinda heartbreaking, not gonna lie. Other than that, nothing especially. I was kind of hoping I might be able to go out to a sit-down restaurant for my birthday, which is in July, but I'm not sure things will be open by then.
8. Are you keeping your housework done? It's no better or worse than it is at other times.
9. What movie have you watched during this quarantine? Mos recently, husband made me watch some horror movie called Underwater, which was terrible. I'm also watching the new season of Killing Eve.
10. What are you streaming with? Pirating.
11. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby? No.
12. What's your go-to quarantine meal? I started eating a whole-wheat tortilla with peanut butter and banana every breakfast.
13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid? Not so much paranoid as just... helpless. I don't think I will get covid 19, but I'm so worried for people who are struggling financially.
14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time? No.
15. What month do you predict this all ends? I was really hoping this would be done by summer. But seeing other people's responses has me thinking I'm perhaps overly optimistic? But I don't think people will tolerate that, at least not in the US. I think things will open up in a few months.
16. First thing you’re gonna do when you get off quarantine? No idea. Go back to work, probably. I'd like to eat out somewhere nice, go to our favorite coffee shop.
17. Where do you wish you were right now? I'm okay where I am right now. Our flat is nice enough. I get lonely sometimes.
18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most? Going to a coffee shop. Husband and I have a favorite place where we go, and it's been hard not to be able to leave the house.
19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer? No. We were able to buy toilet paper last week, so we're set. And there are still a couple of little bottles of hand sanitizer around.
20. Do you have enough food to last a month? No. Two weeks, maybe. We have a box in our kitchen with pasta and sauce, rice, canned soup etc, and a freezer with maybe a week's worth of frozen meat.
