You crack me up. You never fail to make me laugh. Your cat 😂🤣

A friend and coworker of mine who lives alone but has a lovely dog has been sending me pictures of her dog doing stuff. Like pretend to play piano or other silly things. Having a pet must be comforting now.

Although it must be also stressful because of having to get supplies. My daughter stuck up on litter and cat food for her cat and it warms my heart. She is slightly obsessed with her cat lol

I wish I had an animal. it would be so good to have something. I used to have a dog when I was a child, but I live alone now and simply can't take care of an animal because of my issues.

ah well... I have fond memories of the dog, which I suppose is something.

her name was roxy and she was a yorkshire terrier

A lady struck up a conversation with me in the supermarket queue and a guy knocked on my door asking for cigarette papers. And this is a busy day, ha.

I made a few calls, sent a few messages.

I was supposed to do group chat tonight but they all dropped out. I feel let down. I know people have a lot on their mind but myself I am always dependable and it hurt tonight as I was looking forward to it.

Saw my mom to look at a house. The one she really wanted to see was sold. We went to lunch. I facetimed my daughter. Miss her.

Spoke on the phone, messaged a few people and got a few messages. Nicest of all was some photos of her children home learning from a dear friend. That made my day.

I decided I don't like Zoom and don't want to do it anymore. It feels weird.

With what it’s going on currently, I rather keep my social distance. Lol!
Not much, I try to go to do my stuff taking care that any absent-minded soul rushes into me.
Thanks god, internet connections exist but I’m not in the mood or feel confident using these means either.

Took mum to the clinic. Saw and spoke to a nurse from 6 feet away and stopped at a coffee shop and got a Coke. Everyone had masks.

Today other than the family I live with my social interaction was some messaging, then I went to collect my son's prescription and although I had to queue 2 meters apart outside it was a short queue. Only 2 in the pharmacy at a time and it was very well organised.

The young woman behind the counter was exceptionally nice and I drank in this one outside encounter for all it was worth!

On my walk a few people thanked me as I stood back for them. I notice everyone just seems more aware and attentive during these brief social interactions.

Working in the shop I always said we should always be extra nice in our interaction with customers as we might be the only people they talk to that day - now it's true of many people.

I am touched by these simple gently kind and polite interactions.

This thread seems to me such a good idea, it’s a big challenge and I’m happy to be part of it.
Only, lately, the confinement along with the arrival of Spring are doing the best from my mood, so, I barely had the strength to even write here. So, not much socialisation, today I’m beginning to feel better though.

Just a little messaging today oh and a chat with neighbours the other side of the fence - could hear them but not see them.

I left shopping at my parents but did not see them. I leave it in an outbuilding.
