Exposed to my neighbor who tested positive

[Lycholko]

It has been over a week since I was exposed and I have been quarantining since Thursday. It has been hard, mostly boring, but I've kind of liked it. (I don't like being around my family so I saw this as an absolute win.) However, my neighbor lives alone with her disabled son and her dog. Both of them tested positive and are not doing well. No one heard from her in a few days so her family who lives further away called the cops to check up on her. Then, just today, I thought I should call her again and she picked up. I was so relieved but we all thought something happened to her.

As I was eating dinner today, she calls again. She says that her sister brought her a tray of food on her front porch and that she didn't have the strength to get it. So, she asked me to take the tray inside her house. My sister is a little over- paranoid with this whole thing (as she should be) and kept telling me not to do it. She made me feel more afraid to do it and so I asked my dad to do it instead. I feel horrible for making him do it. Now I am regretting it because I just exposed him and he is our only source of income. I may not like him but I still don't want to put him in harm's way.

Wow! Sorry to hear of your predicament and your neighbor's. Your sister's concern is understandable I think and your Dad is responsible for his own choice to help out.I would be curious to know how you are spending your time during your self imposed quarantine

While I still need to attend online school, I am trying to bind books, catch up on shows I never have the time to watch, I dyed my hair, and just enjoying my own company. It has been really therapeutic for me.
