My current mood as I sit in self quarantine in my home for 5 more days. I’m doing well as the world we know currently crashes in flames. We cancelled our spring break trip to Arizona because of coronavirus concerns, but my brother decided he wanted to travel anyways and went to DC to visit friends and also spent a ridiculous amount of money while at it. I only went to get my Tdap booster shot, and went back to UNC to grab some necessary things when it was announced that spring break was extended. Then they announced the closing of the dorms, so we had to go back again to get everything out. I’ve mostly spent the rest of the time sleeping and cleaning the house. No one does any organizing except me, and there is no better way to manage anxiety than to clean!
My parents made me open and disinfect a package from China because they are super paranoid despite me telling them multiple times that the coronavirus does not travel like that. Honestly I am kind of glad that I do not have to leave the house because I have terrible pollen allergies, and not having to be outside has made this allergy season a lot more bearable for me. Last year, I was constantly congested and miserable because I could not catch a break from the pollen. I was not able to concentrate in class or focus on doing homework because of how congested I was. There is also supposed to be new houses being built behind where I live, but I have currently seen no progress except trees being chopped down. I guess it’ll take 2 years for any actual progress to be made.
These days I’ve been getting ahead on my homework and catching up on T.V. shows that I haven’t had the time to watch. Everyone in my house is now working from home, and it is weird to always have everyone around. I’m used to being in the house by myself during break, and so waking up to my parents around to make me food is weird but great. The best part of being at home is just being able to eat whatever you want. My mom is naturally a hoarder and so we’ve always been prepared for any situation. We currently have 20 bottles of detergent because she had coupons to use many years ago. My parents are not letting me leave the house which is fine by me since I cannot be around pollen anyways. They do all the grocery shopping and I just disinfect around the house. I hope that everyone else is doing well, and we all get through this safely.
