How are you

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

How are you

How are you guys doing with the social distancing thing? I'm homeschooled, so there's not much change for me, but the school in my town has been closed and we don't really go anywhere any more.

back to the Down to Earth

@Leeli, I relate! I am not a super extrovert, so I only miss my 2 close friends. Other than that, it has been fairly nice to chill and relax for now. One of the only issues right now is I argue with my siblings a lot because we are STUCK TOGETHER FOR DAYS AND DAYS!!!

Any of you guys on lock-down? I live between 2 lock-down states, so we might.

I don't know if it's a total lock-down, but most things have been cancelled. Only "essential" buisnesses are allowed to still be running, and you are not really supposed to leave the house unless it is for excercise or to get groceries.

Actually, that just happened to us yesterday, but we were doing social-distancing, so it actually dosen't make any difference, really.

Yeah, we're pretty much in Starchaser's situation where I live. I think a lot of states are at this point. I'm not entirely clear whether or not that counts as a full lockdown or not. Basically everything's closed-- even the animal shelter! But they did get all of the animals at the animal shelter into foster homes before they closed, so that's good. Restaurants are still doing delivery and curbside pick-up. There are still a few that let you dine in, but no one wants to anyway. I'm worried that a lot of local businesses are going to have to close for good. It would suck to be starting a new restaurant now! Like for example, there's a Mexican restaurant that just opened here, and now they have to close because they haven't hired enough delivery drivers yet.

Thank you so much for this thread! It makes me feel better to know I'm not alone in missing friends and being bored and stuff.
