Pandemic pandemonium

katjamiles I seem to be either early or late to most things (usually late). I guess in this case it is better to be early? Anyway, the NC governor declared a official shelter state this week for 30 days (or so I've been told), so...basically we do what I have been doing for a couple weeks now. I find it a bit wild to realize we are living history right now. I kinda wonder if this history follows the pandemic of old. The black plague of for instance was (from what I remember) spread far and wide on it's own where as the smallpox seemed to have helping hand in certain areas. Not having a vehical on a regular basis basically reduced my socialization down to my husband and child...and any stranger who my child seems "friend." I have often thought about leaving the group I joined mostly because of this as creating my own events has little to no effect. This safty measure just cocoons us all even greater. Also due to this, my in-law never made it, my husband and his work went haywire and my child is set on taking apart the apartment room by room (usually the kitchen first).
This pandemic isolation has not yet given me Shakespeare level of anything (haven't completed any craft other then this post, sadly). It has given me a lot of time to think or over think as I do. I read, I take care of my kid (who has been building lots of fun stuff with the rooms she's taken apart) and I've even reviewed Disney+ (while it is a good price and a has a wide selection, there's just not enough interest to keep it as we have Netflix already and barely use that. Plus we tend to prefer youtube most often when we do watch things that we don't physically own).
They say growing up and getting married and having something/someone to take of of teaches you, shapes you and helps you grow...this week I learned I haven't grown UP so much as...sideways? The loudness I always thought of as just being a quirk of growing up in the drama that was my childhood has gotten angrier and more irritable- husband claims it could be a possible rub off from living with him for 9 years- and the fact that I keep finding out my child is waaaaay more observant then I always think she is (considering she seems to be on her own little world), I beginning to wonder what the future holds.
I hope y'all stay safe and sane in this pandemic pandemonium!
