During a call with my boss, she asked how I was doing with it all. Other colleagues had been chatting, some of them said they'd been crying, some struggling to cope. There was me and the boss saying that we're actually quite content with the situation and don't know what the fuss is about 
To be fair, though, many of our colleagues are younger, two are pregnant, and one just seems to have trouble controlling her emotions!
I'm enjoying working from home. I realise I am lucky that I've not only still got a job but that I can do it from home. I've got my husband and youngest son at home, and we are safe and happy. I miss our adult children and our grandchildren but, due to distance, we don't see them much as it is. Kind of winds me up a bit when people say how difficult it is that they haven't been able to see their child or grandchild and I have to refrain from responses like 'try feeling like that all the time'

@123carford1 It is good to keep busy. When we first started working from home, there wasn't much to do (it's got busier since) and my colleagues were assuming I must be bored - I assumed that they must be boring because I have so many things to do :D

Well, it's good for us to just keep going busy and do something like online jobs at home for the time being until this pandemic is over.

Yeah and it also lead us to live in an isolation from other people as the social distancing protocol is being implemented.

Yeah it's kind of bad for most of us especially on our social part, because we tend to isolate and distance ourself from others, but it's a great help to mitigate and contain this terrible disease. lol, have a nice days staying at home! We shoudn't be stress with this situation. Keep cool and relax! I did the same thing as well.

It is an unusual experience, indeed! Lucky we got TV and mylotting to go to.
I got caught up on my sewing, cleaned my drains with the solution of baking soda, white vinegar and hot water for the month. M-F one of my favorite shows, original Magnum P I is on for 4 hours, so I'm enjoying it.

Yes you're definitely right! Because it's all for the common good of the people. Have your country is in this condition as well? I hope not.

We have much time with our family. We eat together. We pray together. We play and even watch movies in Netflix together. We feel and experience the real and true value of a family in time of crisis like what we're having right now .
