What COVID 19 has taught me:

I am not as out going as I once where, so being inside is no big deal.

I really appreciate reading & working on my book.

I appreciate going out with the dog more than I did before.

Hikes & walks mean more when I get the chance to take them.

I appreciate my stylist more since my bangs are getting ridiculous & my hair.

I like Skype & Marco Polo, as it’s lovely to chat with people & get messages.

Keeping a routine is super important so we keep week & weekend routines as normal as possible.

The news everyday is draining but I watch anyway, since the updates happen almost all the time. I saw a good quote today, everyday is special so don’t save things for a special occasion.

I think that is true, but like our neighbors who had fishballs for dinner this week I don’t feel like the end is that near. We had a poke bowl for dinner that night because we have been eating the same food for weeks.

I am reading 2 books at once & working on a book myself which is fun & stressful at the same time. My weekly calendar has become empty which is sad. I try to say hello to people in my neighborhood. They have had active campaigns for people to reach out to others as many people may be lonely.

Next time you have to venture out remember to say hello, sometimes that’s all a person needs.
Stay safe, Stay Home.

We went for a walk yesterday because today, it’s snowing. In our neighborhood there’s plenty of trails to go to. The community complained that there where too many people on the mountains last weekend. Yesterday the local media posted a picture of an empty Fløyen but the second highest mountain next to us was packed yesterday.

Hence, what they reported on their website was wrong. The traffic to Liderhorn was nuts & when we got to the parking area there was more than 300 cars in the lot & they parked next to business & parked illegally just to get up the mountains. We wanted to walk up the fort to our look out area but changed our mind & walked down to the waters edge instead.

We had to change our plans because of how crowded it was up the road to the mountains. It was ridiculous. When we came home after our urban hike I checked the local news & they had reported wrong. I thought of calling the police & the local paper but changed my mind. The paper should know better than to report something that wasn’t fully researched & shouldn’t be reported if it’s not the case. Then it automtically becomes fake news.

I have never been impressed with local papers but this really got me pissed, how can they report on something that was so obvious fake news, I can tell you the parking was completely full & the roads up to the mountains was soo packed that either people turned around or they parked far away. That’s how crowded it was.

If you have a misrepresented story that should be blogged about, tell me.
Till next time.

The government again said that we are in isolation till past Easter & that makes 5 weeks of being home. It doesn’t help that our elderly neighbor thinks I have COVID 19 because I was home before the order when into place. Something I find annoying that he would accuse of having something I don’t have, but then again he’s old & his trip abroad was just cancelled so I would be pretty pissed too.

Weather is dreadful today, a good day to stay in without feeling guilty about it. I am also in the risk group with my asthma and my fibromyalgia so I don’t really like taking transit or leaving the house. Tomorrow I have to run errands & I will be armed with sanitizer after the bus. I am kind of dreading it but on the other hand it will be great to get out of the house for a few hours.

The government has now imposed a 2 meter rule between people so it’ll be interesting tomorrow when I have run errands & go to the hospital to try to find out what’s wrong with my bowels. I am pretty used to the pain now, so it’s just annoying BUT I would still like to know what the hell is going on???

We have all the food we need for Easter in the freezer so all we have to get in a few onions & we’ll be fine. Maybe pick up some Easter candy tomorrow when I am running all over town.

Till next entry, if you’re in the risk group heed what they say & if you’re not, follow the restrictions in your area, they are there to minize the pandemic.
