Things I Miss

I'm thinking in terms of what I'll miss when this is over. I'll miss the debris field of dishes, cups, shoes and waterbottles my daughter leaves in her wake (always has). Something of "mine" missing? No problem. It's in her room. This is her senior year of high school. It sucks that she's missing much of the fun of it. I'd like to find someone to thrash for that. But who?

I'll miss my son when he goes back to school. An "online degree" is not what we bargained for, but it's still nice to have him home, and he's not griping. Everybody's happy, healthy, and tolerating things admirably well.

My routine hasn't changed much at all. Up at 4am more or less, then the weather drives my day. I'm accustomed to not leaving Hacienda-Aardvark for days on end anyway. Their routine has changed drastically. It's nice seeing them handle it well. I try to help by being positive about it. That's why I'm Mr Sunshine on this forum. :D
 
Is it sad or pathetic that my life hasn't changed at all, aside from a few differences at work? I never hang out with friends or even leave the property aside from work and grocery shopping.

I guess I miss my weekly milkshake and hot ham and cheese I would get from Bar-B-Que King on the way home, and hanging out at the gun shows with @cubrock and meeting other forum folk.

I miss hanging out with you, too. Mayhaps we should do it outside gun shows, too?

And, there is nothing wrong with being a homebody. There is a lot to be said for being content to be at home with your family.

Having friends and family is important. Really tough to do right now huh? No one should be alone. We are a social animal. Hope you can find someone out there to hang out with.

I miss human interaction!!! Chatting with clueless folks in the grocery store. Listening to older folks (older than me is very old) complaining about their ailments in the drug store. Whining about the availability of certain whiskeys in the liquor store. And on...

Ya' know you can social distance without being antisocial!!!

I guess being an introvert loner helps with the social distancing. I am enjoying this time when I don’t have to talk to anyone.

I'm also an introvert, but a couple of years ago I made the decision to get out there and see what's going on.

Now I miss all the people I've been hanging out with.....lol. Dang!
 
I never considered myself an extrovert until this mess.

I adore my spouse and would be eternally happy with just the two of us but, there are times when one must interact with "others". It would be nice to have the "others" be, at least, civil.

I miss gun shows, especially now, I'd like to work one since I have extra time
