Day 31: How I’m Coping

Hey! I’m here again with another blog since I actually have time now! So we are on day 31. Well, at least day 31 for me of being unemployed. Things are not going too bad as of now...like I said, this is nothing new for me besides the not being able to stay busy. I’m an introvert, so I don’t need a lot of people and I enjoy my alone time...buuuut this is a little TOO much even for me! I think today I have officially reached the delusional stage. I have been snap chatting videos with funny filters just to entertain myself-ha! I mean, I can be kinda funny sometimes. 😂

So, just  for an example, this is what I did today. ...got up and ate breakfast, then had coffee in my sunroom. I read my devotional during breakfast, and then I just play around on social media while I drink my coffee. My sunroom has been my oasis! Then I usually just waste more time on my phone(don’t judge-it passes the time!). After  a couple of hours, I finally get up and change out of my robe and put my makeup on. I know a lot of women are embracing the no makeup thing right now, but I actually enjoy doing my makeup, and it makes me feel less like a zombie and more productive. Plus, it’s something else to pass the time! If it’s nice outside, I’ll go for a walk or I’ll do a garage workout. Today was a rest day though so no workout today.

I know it’s bad, but I feel like I still go to the store every  other day.  I can’t help it, I go through a lot of food and am always out of something! Today I stopped at the dollar store to get some nail polish remover and also picked up an adult coloring book, a face mask, some gum, cheesecake, and chocolate. I mean, those are essentials, right? Essential to my sanity!

Sooo then I usually will come back and sit in my sunroom some more, journal, read a little bit, eat, maybe do some cleaning, sit in my sunroom and play on social media some more...and then in the evenings I chill on the couch upstairs and watch Netflix. I’m currently bingeing Tiger King and Orange is the New Black.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Here are a few of the things that have been getting me through this quarantine/social distancing thing:

My garage gym, of course. 

 Iced coffee trips! I am obsessed with McDonald’s sugar free vanilla iced coffee. I’m not even an iced coffee girl, but it’s sooo good!

My books! Someone gave me these a while back before the libraries closed, thank goodness!

Journaling. Definitely has helped me so much through my grief and continues to help me in this. I have been keeping a log of each day of this quarantine.

Nature and sunshine! This week has been a little chilly, so I haven’t been outside as much, but thank goodness for the last few weeks of warm weather. Sunshine and shorts weather gives me life!

My sunroom. I just absolutely love this room in the spring and summer. My coffee spot, my reading spot, my journaling spot...I love it.

Oh, and Netflix. For sure! 

So tell me, what are you guys doing to occupy your time? I think I’m going to be playing around with some makeup looks, do some sketching, and maybe attempt staining my deck with my brother...but we shall see! What are you missing the most right now? I just can’t wait to go get a cup of coffee with a friend or go eat out at a restuarant or just stroll around Target or TJ Maxx!
