It doesn't change my daily routine very much, really. I will soon need to do laundry in the bathtub, though. That will be a new experience. I guess I'll just add the detergent and then scrub clothes together for a while. For a few years, I have taken my clothes to the local laundromat, but now I don't want exposure to touching so many quarters from the money machine used to pay the washing machines.
Working is very different, and I'm not enjoying that part. But non-work is about the same, since I don't get out to socialize much or travel. It's just me and my cat at home, and she doesn't carry SARS-CoV-2, so we're okay here. As long as I can still get new groceries, I can do this for a long time. It's similar to what Minnesotans do anyway, through our very long and cold winters. :) This time, however, the stay-at-home experience arrives after we've already spent 1/3 of the year indoors.

I hope you stay safe too. The virus here is affecting unusual groups of people, much younger than we saw in Asia or Europe so far. But as long as crime doesn't get any worse here in my "bad" part of the city, I expect to survive another year until a vaccine is available. (Assuming the first vaccines don't use thimerosal, which I'm prohibited from receiving... otherwise, I might have to wait for a different vaccine.)

Stay in touch. I'll keep writing on this blog frequently, just to let the world know I'm still here. :)
