How does this Pandemic make you feel?

Personally I LOVE small compact homes or tiny homes where people build or move where their hearts lead them. Homes are chosen more for their location than their building structure or square footage.

That’s great. You have a roof over your head , space ( land ) and freedom. ( privacy )
Did you do all the work yourself?

All the work was done by family. It was like an old time barn raising LOL.
 
I'm confused. We just came through a "normal" flu season, when in 2017, 60,000 died in the US alone. We all went to work, went to arenas to see games, and engaged in routine things. Now the virus comes along, and we uproot our lives to prevent the spread. Why didn't we do this for the 60,000 flu victims?

I'll tell ya, there's so much to do up there, ever time we visit, all the angst of this virus crap evaporates.
And, heh, there's no corona bug up there.....just the purest of air.....unless there's a wildfire nearby

We'll be totally moved back by the 1st of May

Gary...so agree. We feel the same way about where we live. When you have a "low density" lifestyle you are naturally "social distancing" and are used to living up close and personal with nature. What we do notice is the lack of planes flying overhead. The "drive time" used to be apparent in the air, too, but not now days. Its almost like being taken back to your childhood when there were so many less people in the country.
 
Hope Becky posts some of her cabin interior.

Yesterday was hard one for me,, realizing that hubby & I could die alone without ever seeing sons grand daughters again.

Given there is longevity in our families had hope of living lot longer.

I think I have too much time on my hands,, can't seem to pick up any interst in needle work.

We're pretty good about maintaining distances. Our daughter will talk to the kids about it before they finalize the plan to come over.

Both daughter and son-in-law are teachers so they have those high volume teacher voices, and their kids have picked up the habit. There'll be no problem hearing them from six feet away! :D

I think you've got this! :)
 
I'm beginning to worry/wonder about the woman who lives in the apartment next to mine. ..I only know her casually, but she has been locked in her apartment for a solid month now. I imagine there are others around here doing the same.
I don't know if she has the Internet or not, but if she is spending all her time watching news coverage, she will be so unhinged when she does
come out of there.
She does put her weekly trash bag out by her door, so I know she is still aware of that, but it's not a good situation to be in.
She has a car and drives, but hasn't been out to her car in that time either.
 
I feel a little better since my youngest son seems to be taking the pandemic seriously. He texted me last night and told me not to go out at all because coronavirus is in our county. He said he was getting a little bit scared. I'm relieved because at least now he's talking about it. Being scared is fine. Means he'll be cautious at least. I feel a little better that he's concerned about me too. Of course, not going out at all isn't an option for me, but I'm not going to tell him that.

I might do that today..:) ... but if she is terribly paranoid about things, a piece of paper under her door might be upsetting. ??

If so, she's off her rocker so I guess in future you must leave her be unless a stench comes from her apartment.

I don't know her well enough, but if someone is locking themself away from everyone, probably invading their space might not be seen as being caring or friendly. Who knows!
 
I'm one of those people who isn't social. When someone does see me, they say they never see me out. I go outside every day. They think I never go anywhere. I go out at least twice a week. They think I have no contact with my children. I am in contact with them every day. They aren't watching 24/7 or they would know that. If she's putting her garbage out she's still alive and ambulatory. Knock on her door and ask if she's all right. She'll say she's fine. Give her your phone number for just in case she needs help, she'll say thank you and you'll feel better at least.
 
Well, we love our land, are natural "nesters" so it really doesn't bother us at this point anyway...and people have always seemed to want to come see us and keep telling us what a beautiful piece of property and house we have. With that said, some family have wanted to come and "wait out this virus" with us...several wanting to cross multiple state borders, travelling over a thousand miles now, when resturants and hotels are closed. We said "please don't come". Can't imagine wanting to leave my home and stay with relatives for a long time. That's not what I call "essential travel". Maybe its "any excuse for a party?"
