It's a confusing time

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"?

You can try and test all three possibilities mentioned on the poster. Then you'll know what appeals to you. :-)
Has your husband done everything there is to do in a household like cleaning all windows, taking down the curtains and putting them up again after washing them, tidying up the basement and/or attic, washing the car, vacuuming the carpets?

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

@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.

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.

@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.

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

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 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!

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.
