I normally keep my nails cut quite short, otherwise I am always breaking a nail as I work my in store job, grabbing things off shelves. We are not working right now, so I haven't had to keep my nails cut short. But I have found that now my nails will grow out to a point that they start to interfere with my typing for my online job and I have to cut them.
So I have now been quarantined so long I have had to cut my nails twice!
How long have you been quarantined/stay at home/whatever you want to call it?
Looking for activity based answers, numbers are a downer!

Just a technicality, we are under stay at home orders. Quarantine is something different.
I've been quarantined long enough to point that out even though I still call it quarantine!
I've been quarantined long enough to know the daily walking schedules of everyone in the neighborhood.
And I am almost 3 haircut/brow waxes and one color behind.

I've been SIP since March 16th. So, this is starting our 9th week. I don't like to call it quarantine because I can still go out if I want to.
I've missed one hair appointment and I should be due for another one in about 1-2 weeks, yeah, not going to happen. My dog can no longer see because of the fur over his eyes. lol! He badly needs a grooming. I have a dental cleaning at the end of May, don't know if that will happen or not. I've only filled up my car twice.

We've been safer at home since March 10th so two months...
I can tell the difference between USPS, UPS, and Fedex by the sound of their trucks pulling in, lol.

I have been stay at home long enough for my toenails to have been cut and buffed twice now (by me), and I have had to color my own roots twice.

I’ve been quarantined so long that I’m still on the same tank of gas since early March when I usually fill up every other week.

I got a hair cut a week before shelter in place started and last week I was due for another one according to my calendar. I’m just glad I was already planning on growing it out and just wanted to trim the split ends!

Tomorrow will be only the second time filling my car with gas, although I could probably make it another week if I wanted to. Also 56 days.

If I thought it would actually work, I would try it! Only my husband and dog have to look at me. A nice Victorian bracket fringe would be striking.

I've been SIP long enough that I have had to miss celebrating in person my two daughter's birthdays, my birthday, and Mother's Day. I've missed two normally scheduled hair cut appointments, but I'm ok with longer hair.

We were only actually quarantined (self) for two weeks after we brought dd home from New York City. We didn't go near anyone else, and she hadn't either before we got her, but still we didn't want to take any chances. As for stay-at-home...since March 13 which was the last day of school here. I forget when the governor actually announced a stay-at-home but we effectively started that day. Dh had to go to work two days the following week, then he started working from home. We've been here ever since...only going out for walks, and I go to Costco and/or the grocery store once every 2-3 weeks. And to answer the actual question....not sure actually. I never do things like manicures or hair coloring... Dh did mention to me yesterday that he might ask me or dd to try cutting his hair. So I guess it's been that long.

My last day at work was March 19th. I've been out to the store several times, maybe once a week. Haven't put gas in my car in two months, and the tank is still about three quarters full. I'm not worried about my hair, but my eyebrows are a whole different story, hahaha.

I have an offensive meme from a friend. The language is bad seeing how it comes from a small child but I can’t say I disagree with her either.

We’ve been quarantined long enough for my kids to rip through the knees of 8 pairs of pants, collectively 😄 My daughter has also lost 2 baby teeth and the new ones are most of the way in.

I normally get pedicures once a month, and I have them cut my toenails short. I've had to cut my toenails twice now, and I cut them WAY shorter than the nail tech does.

We are being transitioned back into working from the office as we open later this week I have been working from home since the last week of March. Socially distancing and staying home except for groceries. This being around people stuff is hard.

I am pretty sure we've been basically home since Friday, March 6. I was moderating a panel at a symposium at our school, and came out of it to an email telling us that the law school was closing down for the next two weeks. We haven't been back. I actually can't remember when the public schools shut down -- pretty sure it was the same week.

I’ve been SIP so long that when I texted a picture of my roots to my hairdresser she responded with 😱😱! Fortunately she also said she would put together a coloring kit for me as soon as possible!

Long enough for ALL FOUR birthdays in my family.
Long enough for me, myself and I to go through five boxes of (essential) Extra Toasty Cheese-Its.
Long enough to walk more than 200 miles.
