Being in the lockdown mode is certainly lonely. But when it threatens to overcome you remember our new catchphrase, " Alone Together!"

In this unprecedented face of our nation's most trying times when we are in force lomckdown and I'm told to shelter-in-place it often gets very lonely to do so when you are home alone. What I want you all to understand is that you are not alone. We are alone together. There are hundreds of us doing the same thing you are. Form friendship chains! form hobby chains, for anyting that helps you to pass he time. There are lots of people around you who are in the same lockdown mode you are and just as bored and just as isolated feeling as you are. A simple post on the Internet or a phone call or wave out the window is all it takes to break the cycle of loneliness the forced isolation can make you feel.

Remember we are never truly alone in this whole wide world. Instead Depart of our Network for your friends Network or a Facebook Network etc etc and be alone together! Until we meet again stay safe and remember we are alone together! Fancy.

Love the catchphrase! My antisocial personality is helping to not be bothered too much by the social distancing. I do miss being able to go out for dinner rather than take out or delivery though 😁

Started working from home last week and that will continue until cleared by my neuro to be back at work. I am blessed to have a job that can be done remotely!

Look at the advantages of eating in though when you have two are delivered. You don't have to worry about the annoying loud talkers that sits right across from you. No matter how hard you try you cannot help but hear every single word they say including the off color ones you rather not hear. Nor do you have to worry about the family behind you with the overactive children that are treating the adjoining bench seat like a trampoline. And then of course there's the new waitress in training. It seems no matter how hard she tries get your complete order upside down and sideways and being that person you are you say it's great you'll take it anyway when you really didn't want it that way! See I'm going to talk you into enjoying your dinner at home more if you ate at some overcrowded restaurant full of people of all ages sizes and shapes! But then of course if this goes on like they think it might for several months or longer we all will be dying to go out and eat at that over crowded restaurant to simply enjoy the atmosphere of being around people again!

You're very lucky that you can work remotely from home at your job. Because I'm on disability due to my Advanced MS I don't have to worry about bringing work home. I simply have to try to find creative ways to keep the days from Crawling by as I sit and look out the window world I used to go out and play in. Heck I can't even go shopping with my girlfriend so the days and weeks a few highlights and little variation from one day to the next. But always remember even though we might feel alone we are all alone together! Fancy.
