Quarantine journal day 16 – Be strong my bitches!

I have received so many messages from you guys since the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. Thank you all, and i hope everyone’s healthy.

I am staying with my extended family at my folks’ house until this whole thing ends, kinda like a quarantine camp. Or bootcamp, cause i’m forcing the boomers to workout regularly, keep that metabolism high.

I plan to come online at some point, gotta diversify that human interaction and keep you boys indoors. We’ll fight boredom and anxiety together.

I have been isolating for 16 days now. I’m handling it very well so far, because i’m well trained in not going out for days on end, all of my hardcore gaming days are paying out now!

I try my best to stay positive, and do things i haven’t been doing in a while, like catch up on my reading. I workout every day. I think i binge watched half of Netflix and i spend over 8 hours each day playing World of Warcraft and League of Legends.

I went to the supermarket on Friday, first time outside since March the 13th. I looked as if i was off to rob a bank, doing parkour through the aisles. Have you watched The Walking Dead? That was me, picking cans of food while running through random people trying to stay away! I made it entertaining, imagined i was playing some game. So i don’t panic. My coping mechanism is fun like that. I now have supplies for at least 1 month so i’m not going anywhere farther than the backyard or the terrace.

All in all, my advice to you other than the obvious stay at home, is to occupy your time with things you like. See it as that sabbatical you envied your hipster coworker for. Exercise, your old “I have no time to hit the gym” excuse no longer works! Binge watch your favorite shows. Put on some music and dance. Gather your best friends on Skype, get stoned and have a party! If you have no one to talk to or are feeling depressed (we’ll all feel anxiety sooner or later), feel free to drop me a line, i’ll be around. I also plan on coming back on cam in a few weeks, directly from my old high school bedroom! Right now I’m just too busy with League of Legends. If you are into any games, do let me know!

And remember that this, like all things, will pass. It’s important to keep our minds and bodies healthy, active and entertained.

Princess sends you all some badass, Dominant hugs!
