It is weird. And what's even weirder is that I usually lived this way my whole life. But, it's different now. I'm not feeling squirrely or anything, but I liked having the option to go out, even though I rarely used it.
Is how I feel. The option of going out denied is what makes me panic. I feel like if I don't get to go out now and then I will not be able to. In the past, at one stage I became a litrle reclusive and it was only through gradually getting out due to work etc that I overcame it. I hated serving customers and preferred to work on bicycles, but they didn't want me to as they wanted me to serve as well incase they needed me to serve, so despite the mountains of work, they kept pulling me onto the shop floor... It was good for me... But the worst thing for me was using the phone. Grr! I didn't like phoning strangers! I could do it with family on the other end or someone I knew well. But strangers!! NO!! ! I remember being told off for phoning a number asking for Dai. It turned out to be a steelworks and there were at least 50 men who had that name, and I got the blame! It was the man that left that number and only gave his first name. It made me even more scared to use the phone after being told off for what wasn't my fault. (I am a bit better at it now!

).
My granddaughter is starting to get depressed. She's a very social person, not being able to see her friends is upsetting. It doesn't help that they keep having to extend the 'resume to normal' goals. She's been looking so forward to the possibility of returning to school on April 15th and the news reported tonight that it's been extended until May 1st now. I'm trying to prepare her for school not resuming until next year.
I'd rather by ND that NT at this time. As hard as it is for us, it's seems it's even harder for them.
Hang in there, MG.
