Good Things To Do While You’re Stuck At Home<\/h2>\n

I hope you are all doing as best as possible during this tough time that we are all going through. Here’s an update from our front, please let us know how you are doing and what you are going to do while you are stuck at home, we’d love to hear. I’m working from home and Michael’s work is closed, so he’s trying to stay busy with some online gaming, and he’s figured out how to play Dungeons and Dragons remotely today. We’re staying home as much as possible, heading out to the park here and there, and definitely keeping a safe distance from others. My parents are still out of the country in New Zealand, with a flight home this week, and we’ll be glad to have them home, and at least the area they are in hasn’t reported cases. Michael’s parents are in Qualicum, his father would normally be working at the golf course, but he’s staying home to stay safe. My sister’s family is in Kelowna, she has teenagers that missed out on competing in the National Freestyle skiing competition they qualified for, but they are making the best of it by getting out for some exercise. My nephew hiked up the ski hill with his skis and skied down, he missed skiing so much.<\/p>\n

However, there are so many more people locally and internationally that are in far worse circumstances and we couldn’t be more thankful for all those that are out there helping the people who are actually sick, with the virus, or with other medical emergencies that are happening at the same time. We feel for those who have lost work, wages, tips, salaries, contracts and more, and we are glad to be hearing there’s relief coming, although it can’t come fast enough. We are relieved to see the grocery shelves still stocked and we have our farmers, truckers, bakers, artisan producers, grocery store employees and anyone doing their part to literally put food on the shelves to thank! We’re blessed to have all we physically need to survive and aren’t taking that fact for granted.<\/p>\n

\"self<\/a><\/p>\n

While it’s easy for me to just escape at this time, have that extra glass or, ahem, bottle, of wine, I’m going to try to make the best of things and get my home in order, get some exercise in, catch up on the finances and perhaps learn a few new skills. I’ve put together a few resources that I’m using to keep myself on track, so thought I’d share my list of what to do while you are stuck at home. Let me know what else I could add.<\/p>\n
