Bored Yet? What to Do While in Quarantine/Locked Down
Stay Safe! Stay Home!
How sick are you of hearing those words? You feel fine. So, why should you have to stay home again? I guess saying "the governor told you to" isn't going to cut it as a reason? You're well, right? (laughs) The main reason is because the "novel COVID-19" virus could already have affected you without showing symptoms yet. You wouldn't know that you have it until you infected countless others. Bummer, right? Here are some Prevention Tips and a bit more information about just how lucky you are if you are well.
Wash Your Hands!
UGH! I'll bet those are another three words that you would be happy to never hear again. So many people are tired of the whole 20 second counting to make sure they are "completely" washing their hands properly. Many have started to come up with other ways to get through the drudgery of counting to 20 or singing endless renditions of Happy Birthday to no one.
There is actually a site you can go to called Wash Your Lyrics where you can choose your own 20 second song blurb to sing to. They'll even provide the washing techniques poster to go along with it! Click on the image to the left for the full sized version of U2's song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" in a wash your hands format.
Don't Fall Off That Cliff!
I'm here to help! Before you start singing right along with the kids as they watch Barney, shudders, here are some things you can do to help alleviate your boredom and reconnect with the outside world. The bulk of the items I'll tell you about are free or have free trials. A lot of companies are offering up free services during this crazy time. Whether you are a social butterfly, an avid reader, creative mind, singer, introspective individual or something else, I've tried to find a variety for you to choose from.
