1. Are you an essential worker?
No, but my company is providing essential services to our clients (we design and build food & beverage facilities). Certainly I'm working much more on proposals than on marketing strategies these days.
2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started?
Not a clue. Most days is a beer or a glass of wine or two or a G&T in the evening. Maybe three glasses of wine one Saturday.
3. If you have kids... are they driving you nuts?
No kids. I can see the effect my nephews are having on Kath and Amy, and I am not envious!
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?
5. How many grocery runs have you done?
Once a week, so...four? But as the weather gets nicer, more and more of my groceries come from local farmstands with curbside pickup, not grocery stores. Very excited for May and asparagus season!
6. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine?
Easter with my family. Nothing else special, just the usual ability to go see my parents and brother or sister and her family. Isn't that enough?
7. Are you keeping your housework done?
Not...really.
8. What movie have you watched during this quarantine?
Star Trek (2009)
Star Trek: Into Darkness
Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears
9. What are you streaming with?
Disney+. Netflix. Hulu. Prime + CBS All-Access and PBS Living.
10. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby?
Not unless I'm secretly a komodo dragon. I guess anything is possible.
12. What's your go-to quarantine meal?
Crackers and cheese. I did make a big pot of beans, but it seems actually making rice and adding some vegetables and seasonings to eat them is a bridge too far for the depression monster.
13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid?
Paranoid? No. Has it ramped my anxiety and depression up to 'every muscle in my body is tight all the time, forever' and 'multiple stress dreams/dreams featuring my terrible ex' level? Yes.
14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time?
No. Although there are times I wish it would, just so I would have an excuse to not be working/not be escaping into media or games.
15. What month do you predict this all ends?
I don't even think it'll end in 2020.
16. First thing you're gonna do when you get off quarantine?
Go straight to Cape Cod and hug my parents.
17. Where do you wish you were right now?
At Cape Cod with my parents. Someplace with Amanda close by. In a house with land of my own and the ability to grow my own food.
18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most?
Taking my time to putter through a store. Seeing my friends in person. Going to the Cape.
(Okay, theoretically I could go to the Cape. I've been isolated enough that it's pretty clear I don't have the Rona. I could pack up my work computer, my cats, and all the laundry I haven't gotten to and ride this out with my parents and brother at 31. If you ask my why I don't, I don't have an answer for you. All I can say is that whatever malaise is keeping me from cleaning the apartment and doing my dishes and folding my clothes is also making that trigger impossible to pull.)
19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer?
I don't have hand sanitizer, but I have plenty of soap. Plenty of TP, too. That's one benefit of being a household of one – especially if that one recently installed a bidet attachment.
20. Do you have enough food to last a month?
Definitely. I have enough beans and rice and freezer chicken to last me at least that long. And I have a whole pantry of baking essentials. I only just ran out of AP flour.
No, but my company is providing essential services to our clients (we design and build food & beverage facilities). Certainly I'm working much more on proposals than on marketing strategies these days.

No kids. I can see the effect my nephews are having on Kath and Amy, and I am not envious!
4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?
Everything old is new again, by which I mean: no new hobbies, but some old ones. RP threads. Baking. Reading. Video games.
(I broke down and got AC:NH, so come, friends! Join me on Ballybeg! (Literally little home, because my creative juices are at a low ebb right now.)
5. How many grocery runs have you done?
Once a week, so...four? But as the weather gets nicer, more and more of my groceries come from local farmstands with curbside pickup, not grocery stores. Very excited for May and asparagus season!
