Are you looking to the future ?

Looking forward to going to a restaurant, getting take out in person, and then eating in the car while it’s hot. On line ordering is difficult for us and the food is cold. Not doing in restaurant eating for a few months.

I don't mind staying home as much as a lot of people do. I just don't like staying home because I'm told I have to. I guess my first thing will be to go to LA and visit our kids.

Very much the same for me .... I'm a homebody since retirement, and enjoy the slow pace. But being told to stay home feels confining ...:ROFLMAO:
 

We plan to take the camper to the beach in June to meet up with relatives.
We tried to get additional camping reservations at a beach state park without success. A lot of getaway places will be full for a time.
I'd like to eat out at some of my favorite places again.
Businesses and beaches are reopening today in my state.
 
I'm somewhat of an introvert so I'm not really overly bothered by staying at home. My wife on the other hand is going very stir crazy. She is our main shopper so she does get out in public and she is also going over to our son's house some nights to help with our new grandson who turned a month old this week.

What I'm looking forward to most are live music performances, but I'm pretty sure those are months away and probably won't start up here in California until at least next year. However I'm one who appreciates being safe rather than sorry so I'm OK with that.

The other thing I'm looking forward to are having the local galleries open to see art. We live very close to San Jose State University and during normal times every Tuesday students who are going for their BFA and MFA degrees put their work in one of the six student galleries on campus. Not all of the galleries is used every week. Also sometimes some classes have an exhibit where one piece from each student is presented. Not all of the work is that good or that interesting, but sometimes they blow me away. We also have a first Fridays night here where galleries and museums open up for free and I miss going to those places as well.

I'm pretty sure we'll start being allowed to get together with other family members in the area sometime in the not too distant future and that will be nice as well.

Other than that I'm looking forward to going to a store without worrying about social distancing and going out for dinner. However my wife has been working on some of our favorite dishes that we are missing at home and has gotten some of them down very well so our motivation to go out for dinner is not quite as big as it was before. It's so much cheaper to eat at home and the food is just as or almost as good.
 
We are pretty good here....People walk around in our community...We
just say High!!! We can go to the store with our masks and I put rubber
gloves on....Sometimes we have groceries delivered to our cottage....

We can't go home till June (ish)…..We have our medicine shops open and
can get our med's, either to pick them up or delivery...

Where we are, this State is pretty good compared to NYC and NJ....
Up North had more death's then where we are.... God Bless...
 
Things won't change too much for me. I'll still be home but I won't worry so much for my son and his family nearby.
Just not having to worry about a silent killer that we had not know about before. That'll be a relief.
I'm sure my wife will look forward to going grocery shopping with our son, and getting out of the house. If I could
afford it, I'd buy an electric scooter so, so I ccould be out and about a little bit with out gettingso short of breath.

No big deal, for me, as my profession was deemed "essential" by the City of Austin. My tree business actually picked up, as the stay at homes obsessed over their trees for the first time, in years. I do want to stay on schedule to check out new cities to move to by taking the RV to Colorado, Wyoming and Illinois, but we'll have to see how things are going, virus-wise, once August rolls around and Janet retires. (She's in healthcare, so things didn't shut down for her, either.)

I have very curly hair, almost Afro at one point in my life. My only self-option would be to go the Yul Brynner route. I've thought of doing this at least once anyway. It just doesn't seem right that I've never seen my own scalp.
 
i just want to feel the relief of knowing everyone is safe, then i need some radiotherapy
after which find out if i am allowed to travel to India, and if i am, like our friend in London
i will be on the plane, i dread the very thought of winter in England

Go ahead and do it... you'll never get a better time in your life to do it than now, when no-one will see you until it grows back again... and if you're like most men, that it'll only take a couple of weeks.. :D
 
i got a good haircut the week i left India, it cost me a very generous 100/- or just over a pound
the back and sides are ok but its going where it wants on top, i might ask my mate [who lives here... no hes not...lol] if he can set his machine to number 4 over the top crop...

Yeh, I'm an anomaly among the men in my family. They all had receding hairlines/nearly bald on top at a pretty young age. I'm a few weeks shy of 66 and my hair is still annoyingly thick and grows back like grass in the springtime.

Hmmmm..... I feel like someone has issued a high school dare, and I'm just the man to rise (or lower myself) to the occasion! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow...I don't want to freak the guy out. Maybe tomorrow afternoon...
 
Of course. I wondering when I'll be able to see one of my best friends again. She now lives in Fla. and comes up a 3 or 4 times a year to help her brother with his business and visit family members. We usually get together for lunch each time. The first thing I'd like to do is see my grandchildren. I've been blessed to see my son a few times since this started plus did a video chat with him and my DIL last week. Next I'd want to be able to head to my oceanfront timeshare, which is literally like a second home. I miss being at the ocean so much and I miss interacting with a few of the staff who have become friends. This was taken from the balcony:

I'm looking forward to letting go of the constant worry and stress over every little thing in my day to day life.

I know that half of my concern is foolish but not knowing which half is beginning to take its toll.

Someone on another forum posted a question asking what worries do we have and which of those do we consider silly (not verbatim). Do you think that additional worrying comes with the age?
 
We missed celebrating Easter with the family and also our anniversary. I want to see the grand kids and have dinner out. that would satisfy me.
Looking ahead my daughter wants to do another mother/daughter trip in the fall. Hopefully by then we will be able to do that.
 
I am pretty tired of the restrictions and look forward to being able to move about more. I was already dealing with
the effects of hormone cancer treatment therapy which includes hot flashes, and serious fatigue. The stay at home order just piles on and eliminates all incidental local travel. For me these two inconveniences are running simultaneously. The hormone therapy will affect me until about August of 2021, so I have a long way to go on that. Hopefully this COVID-19 will be long gone by then.

The radiation portion of my treatment lasted nine weeks with treatments five days a week. Part of it was a bit unpleasant, but I was amazed at the efficiency of our local cancer treatment center.

Good luck with your treatment and I pray that it is successful.
