How are you finding lockdown?
For extroverts it is quite a difficult time but many introverts are loving the shutdown and the going out ban - their natural habitat is indoors away from others!
For me, I found it very difficult to work from home on Tuesday so I was glad to get in to the office on Wednesday and Thursday (I am working on an essential service community helpline) but will be back working remotely from home tomorrow.
Here's a few suggestions of what to do if you are cocooning at home and staying safe and well indoors away from risk of exposure
- Play cards
- Bake a cake
- Learn a language (courses available for free through Irish Libraries)
- Study online
- Paint
- Sew bunting and hang out in your front garden for neighbours to enjoy
- Blog
- Enjoy art - check out my husband's website here
- Download an eBook or eMagazine (check out your library website and get these items for free)
- Rearrange your book shelves - but them in size or colour order
- Virtual meetups with friends through apps like Zoom - why not organize a brunch, afternoon tea or themed meetup - 80's themed sounds fun!!
Light a candle and relax and enjoy
Or maybe the most useful of all thing to do is to volunteer. Even if it is just a case of calling to elderly neighbours and volunteering to do a bit of food shopping for them.
Can you think of anything else you could do?
One thing you certainly shouldn't do is attempt to cut or dye your hair yourself at home. Don't do it folks! Just wait until the hairdressers reopen......
