Under House Arrest day 269

After my rant on Sunday about people who are shielding in place showing disregard to the "rules" and going out anyway ( even though they are quite happy to take the money) today I'm trying to be more positive. If you are struggling with staying in then think like this, you are not stuck at home you are safe at home. Give yourself something to do rather than sit watching the tv mindlessly (and let's be honest daytime tv is at it's best dire) find something you love, you don't have to be crafty like me, and make something, but you could learn to be if it catches your fancy. Read, do jigsaws, exercise, self-care, do a routine of grooming, but make it fun, put on some music and don't rush it. Even clean or reorganise your living space. Just take your time and enjoy whatever you find to do. Give yourself something to look forward to, a tv show you love ( even a rewatch ) face time with a loved one. Even a favourite meal, you can plan or make at your own pace instead of the rush we usually have in life. 

I read yesterday that a lot of shops are saying now that they are going to stop letting people in without masks. Now before the anti mask brigade start shouting at me, this is my opinion( which as I've said before you don't have to agree with and if it upsets you don't read my blog, but I do have a right to my views, so do you, so write your own blog and express them) If you can't wear a mask for genuine medical reasons, wear a visor, if you can't wear one of those, maybe consider you might be too vulnerable to be out? Also consider whether you are actually just being a dick and saying you can't because you don't like being told what to do, and believe me there are some out there. You might also consider, you might not be protecting yourself by wearing a mask, but, you will be protecting others. You are wearing a mask while you are shopping the time you wear it is relative to how long you shop for. I and others wear one for 8 hours plus 3 hours travel time. So stop bloody moaning it's a bit of cloth, for fucks sake... There, thats me ranting again... Sorry, not sorry...
