I too am fed up although I have my husband here working from home and my daughter and her boyfriend. However I miss my space terribly. I’ve worked from home for years but my work is frozen and I’m not used to everyone using my kitchen in my house and my bathroom and yikes, I put on 4 pounds. I miss going to the gym. I got in the car and just drove the other day just to be out and about and it was a pleasure with no one on the road, but I miss running errands and going to the grocery store.
I haven’t been able to visit my 93-year-old mother because she’s in a nursing home so I haven’t seen her since February. I feel like I’m in a constant state of confusion about almost everything, including a lack of understanding as to why this is so serious when the flu kills people who refuse to get vaccinated and or the media doesn’t tell us the truth or they don’t know what the truth is.
I’m 65 and didn’t plan to retire although I may be forced to, and if this is what retirement is like, I’ll need to find something outside of the home to keep me sane. but I think I’ll perish. I read something the other day about complaining and I saw a show that suggested you have a complaining jar when you complain. You have to put a dollar in it. I think I might institute that this week. I’m typically not a complainer more of a venting ranter and I move on pretty quickly.
I believe many of us understand exactly what you are saying. Your description of “your kitchen and bathroom’ being in use more often than normal made me smile…that is the situation right now in my own residence. Added people (family) due to working at home! And like you, more than once I have gone for a drive just to have a bit of alone time. Adapting to changes is difficult for nearly all of us. Thanks for your rant!!
I get to take a drive on Friday and I’m already excited! If you keep your complaining jar, you might fill it up and be able to do something really fun when this is over and be glad you got rid of all the angst rather than bottling it up😉😉. Just a thought!
