I saw this image and knew it would be one that many people could relate to. With all of us dealing with our life in a total disarray I am sure that we feel confused, tired, and frustrated. I am used to staying at home and in the house however, the hubby is about to go crazy. He keeps wandering outside looking for things to do. It is up in the high 80's here and humid, it feels hotter than hades. Hopefully everyone out there is trying to stay safe and entertained. I am a homebody so I am content with the self-containment. How about you? How are you handling this "new way of life"?

I need all of the above on your image. Thankfully we are not hot yet but it will be here soon enough. I take it a day at a time.

I am sending you a big hug to help. It's been in the 80's here and humid. At this point all we can do is take it one day at a time.

I am used to staying at home as well but I am more worried of those who have no food to eat.

That issue has been worrying me also. Luckily we have the free lunches for the kids and there seem to be many places they can go to pick up a box of food. Hopefully they are using these things that are being offered to them.

@HazySue The government has been distributing food packs to qualified households. But from the photos I've seen those food packs don't seem enough at all.

@HazySue I have no idea at all since I don't cook.

@HazySue We aren't prepared but we both said that after this is all over, we are stocking up on stuff. We don't ever want to be in this position again.

The two of us are prepared for this type of thing. I am kind of enjoying myself.

I’m content, but apparently suffering from stress. My hubs has been wonderful adjusting to being a homebody. At least he has friends to gab with at the pool. It’s been hot here, but you’d never know it with the breeze off the water. I’m loving it.

@HazySue Try to stay cool! We have the a/c on, but I’m on the lanai myLotting. Sorry about your husband. My husband, who has always gone out and about from 10 to 2, not counting gym days, has adjusted pretty well. He just finished watching the news, listened to sports talk, and is now reading. I’m sure he will go down to the pool to gab with some buddies later. We must all find ways to adapt.

It's hot here and we know it. My hubby is not adjusting to being home. He wanders around looking for something to do.

Does your hubby have a hobby he'd like to try? Would he do a jigsaw? It must be hard for men whose working life is about all they know.

@HazySue Would he enjoy model-making? Maybe make something for one of the grandies.

@JudyEv I wish he would get involved in something, anything that you can do inside. He is an outdoor person through and through. With the temp here being in the high 89's and low 90's at this time and as humid as it can get, time spent outside is hard to take.

It is hard for him. I had him set up a able in the living room so we could work a puzzle but he gets bored within a few minutes. He likes working on cars but has nothing to work on. Right now he is outside raking the yard.

I could go for the 3 days of sleep lol, but I'm good here - mostly in the house as usual

I am thinking I could probably use all three. I am taking care of the coffee even as we speak and the hubby took care of the great big hug this morning. The only thing left for me is the three days sleep. I wish I could get even one good night of sleep. Oh well.

@Courtlynn It looks like those who need the sleep the most get the least amount of it.

I am happy being home. I like sitting in the screen room if I feel I need to be outside. I also have enough areas to sit in so I don't get too bored looking at the same four walls.

I am a retired homebody so probably far less of an adjustment than most. Pretend you are snowed in for the winter.

I don't have the shut in feeling. I love being home. The hubby is the one straining at the bit.

I am used to being at home; but my husband doesn't like to HAVE to stay home. He keeps going out to run errands and to food shop. We have no more room for anymore food. It's in the 40s today. It will warm up tomorrow.

I think part of my hubby's problem has been that until last night we have not had a running car. Last night he installed the trucks computer and now we have transportation.

I only work 6 hours a week outside the home (officially). Mostly I work from home, so my life hasn't been disrupted much. I know many people who are losing a lot of income now. I feel badly for them!

I do worry about those that depend on a job outside the home. I can't imagine not have some kind of income coming in.

My husband and I are both homebodies so we are both handling things well. Not a whole lot has changed other than how we get our groceries each week.

I am definitely a homebody. The hubby is one of those who seem to feel the need to get out and go somewhere.

I have been doing a lot of resting plus I have been busily working on craft items to sell on line. I am getting quite a stockpile.
