8 weeks in quarantine

today marks 67 days in quarantine - or roughly 8 weeks.
in some ways it has gone by so fast and in others painfully slow!
i don't miss the commute to work at all!  however i do miss the social aspect of work and seeing people in person, for work or for social gatherings.  i'd like another face or two in the rotation :)
we have had moments of stir crazy for sure.  it's hard because we don't know when the end is in site and I can't really let my guard down since i may be immune compromised.  but it would be very good for my mental health to have some social visits, even if they are porch visits.
this weekend was my parents 50th wedding anniversary and I was disappointed not to be able to go to ottawa for that.  it triggers me to be stuck at home - as I was for so long during cancer treatment, and i feel frustrated of missing out on things, like fun activities, a social life and travel adventures. i already lost the better part of a year and i am feeling resentful of this bump in the road.
trying to focus on the basics, like eating well, working out and having a good routine.  the trauma and fear of this situation causes me anxiety though and I'm just trying to manage it one day at a time.
i'm dusting off old strategies and tools from cancer treatment, that's for sure. not every day is good day, but there is something good in each day. gratitude and being in the present moment is going to be key, as we continue through this challenge.
