siderea1. Are you an Essential Worker?No. My University employer started allowing me to work from home (WFH) a week before the CA lockdown.
2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine has started?One, for the Spring Equinox.
3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts?Hahahaha... No. My cats are entertainment enough.
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?I've been making masks in my spare time...
5. How many grocery runs have you done?Grocery or hardware store, about one a week, since we can't get any delivery times and stuff is always sold out.
6. What are you spending your stimulus check on?Most went into savings, but some is going toward a new water heater to go into our garage for the washing machine.
7. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine?Two of our SF&F conventions have been canceled already.
8. Are you keeping your housework done?No, but then I wasn't before all this started.
9a. What movie have you watched during this quarantine?None, really. Just a few youtube shorts
9b. What are you reading right now?Twitter, Reddit, FarceBook, DreamWidth
9c. What video game are you playing?My usual MMOs, plus Toon Blast and Toy Blast
10. What are you streaming with?I am paying for a Netflix subscription, which I haven't done anything with in ages, plus we get Prime Video. But I don't watch TV.
11. Nine months from now is there any chance of you having a baby?No. All of the AFAB eople in my house have either had hists or have gone through menopause
12. What's your go-to quarantine meal?Whatever is in the freezer ready to nuke. (We cook in large lots, then portion it out and freeze it.)
13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid?No, paranoia is about irrational fears:
A) It's not paranoia if it's about inanimate things.
B) It's not paranoia if you don't think the bad thing is personally aimed at you.
C) It's not paranoia if it's a conclusion you have come to through evaluating evidence and reasoning about it (even if your evidence sucks and your reasoning is lousy) so long as its responsive to further evidence and reasoning.
D) It's not paranoia if people really are out to get people like you, like the folks willing to sacrifice old people for the sake of "getting the economy going again".
14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time?No. We got a new head end in February
15. What month do you predict this all ends?September, 2021
16. First thing you're gonna do when you get off quarantine?Evaluate if it is actually safe to go out without a mask, etc.
17. Where do you wish you were right now?Not sure.
18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most?Fabric shopping.
19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer?No, but I had to scramble because Amazon has refused to ship my regular order for two months now. I am using more TP now that I'm WFH. I've made some of my own hand sanitizer, in case I need it, from 90% IPA, aloe & glycerine, plus I have some small bottles I bought in February.
20. Do you have enough food to last a month?Easily, although one roomie will complain about lack of fresh leafy greens, eggs and mushrooms if she can't go shopping for them every week. We have powdered egg, IIRC, powdered milk and freeze dried spinach. But she can go through a two pound bag of fresh spinach in a week, and she won't freeze it.
