What Have You Been Doing with Your Time During the Pandemic

I have to admit that I have not taken up any new hobbies, not even a one. I have not invented anything, worked on a vaccine or starred in my own TikTok Videos. I haven't really done much. I have worked a little on my blogs, updating articles, making sure they are indexed by Goggle.
I have been earning money writing but I usually do that just not to the extent that I am now.
I am, however, in awe of my friend Irene. She has her own house with a very pretty yard. She has created a series of very pretty little gardens in her back yard. She often takes me for a walk in the garden to see what new things she has done. I took this picture from her kitchen window just to give you a little idea. This really doesn't have lots of plants but she painted that fence which I really love.

I’ve been figuring out how to solve my eating habits issue. And finding more ways to earn money online. I need to start improving my skills in photo editing but it seems I’m waiting for perfect timing. I’m reading books and articles which helps me become a better person. The fence looks pretty.

Well, that is a lot to do. I hope you find more ways to earn money, I basically am on here and I do freelance writing.

@BelleStarr I hope so too. I usually look for apps I can earn more. Not much in the AppStore.

She has a nice artistic flare, her garden looks great.
If anything, I have worked twice as much during the pandemic.
Since a lot of the bank branches were closed and there were terribly long line ups at the ones that remained open, that has left the banking phone channels very busy.
I have not done much else.

when I hear about all the wonderful things that people have been doing I wonder what is wrong with me, I just can't seem to get much done at all.

She has made so many pretty additions to her garden, it is a joy to walk though.

@BelleStarr I have to work an area that I want to cover with pebbles and place on top of it a solar fountain. September should be a good month, it's no more too hot.

I'm with you on that my friend, I get discussed with myself for accomplishing so little.

Your friend is is very artistically creative. I mostly do the same things I did pre-Corona. Cook, clean, myLot, and sit out back in the love shack with my husband. Our kids named it that, lol, but we enjoy just relaxing, talking, and a fire in the fire pit.

I have pretty much been wasting my life away during the pandemic. In other words, I haven't done much except sit at home. LOL

@BelleStarr I talked to my cousin, he said they completely sorted their basement and got rid of a lot. I thought he was joking as he recited all they did. But I guess it was true

Nice yard and garden she has. I think her creative mind is quite active during the pandemic. l wish l do have time to do that but mine is all work and sometimes it stresses me out already that l am thinking of retiring already. But since l need to earn more l have to be grateful l have still a job at this time where many are losing jobs around

@BelleStarr Good for her since the pandemic can ruin many from having to lock oneself day in and out.

Exactly the same things I was doing before the pandemic. We haven't quarentined, or self isolated or anything like that. We've still been going to the river, riding the wheelers and working.

Wow okay, we sure lockdown in Florida in April when we were there. we didn't leave our home for at least a month.

@BelleStarr There was a stay at home order for non essential workers. We own our own business, and are considered essential, so we worked though that thirty day order. But we never locked down or anything. There was no reason to.
