The hardest for me is being an introvert and having kids. Thank God we live on a farm and have the ability (necessity) to go outside to take care of our sheep, chickens, etc. and not have to worry about keeping our distance. I feel bad for those living in apartments/big cities. I pray for those in domestic violence situations. I can't imagine what they're going through.

Yeah, don't people have hobbies? I miss rock climbing and I miss my friends, but if I didn't have to work to pay the bills, I'd happily spend all my time working on my own projects. I do know that for sure because I took a year off once and did exactly that (mixed in with a healthy amount of Netflix & video games). But I've overheard co-workers talking about needing work to give them something to do in life, so I know that some people are bored not just because they can't socialize, but because they're not working. And I really, really don't get that. You need to find yourself a hobby before you retire. Have a goal in life, even if you don't think it's obtainable, but don't just exist for other people. You'll be much happier.

Yes, actually. My previous lifestyle was very over scheduled. I think it's not really the staying at home that is difficult, it's only interacting with the people in my house and not being ABLE to go anywhere. I used to only have a few waking hours I spent in my home, and now it's all of them. It just makes you wish for a little change in scenery or someone else to talk to.

I miss being outside... All State parks in Washington are closed, as are ski resorts and gyms. We are also discouraged from rock climbing outside because it is high risk, we pass through vulnerable rural areas, and the climbing areas will be super crowded. Can't hike, can't climb, can't snowboard. 😭
