Im in the Northeast, too. No one was staying home around here.. Never seen so many people while out on my usual dog walks. I live a very uncomplicated and simple life.. handful of family and friends..would rather be alone, unless I am in the company of soft-spoken, funny intellectuals.. there are never enough hours in the day.. and when I see how some people were on the verge of emotional breakdowns because they couldn’t go shopping.. I Thank the good Lord for making me a loner introvert who Loves being home! Heh.
I made eight deployments on Navy ships, so I can live for six months at a time in a prison. Now, I don’t have to and I won’t.
In the fall we don’t see a single soul from after deer season until mid-May unless we leave our mountain.
