S/O: How would you handle being quarantined?

I could do and have done it. I was house bound for 3 months during my pregnancy. I wasn't even allowed to do housework. I read, did crossword puzzles, and slept a lot. Yes I was bored out of my mind, but I didn't have a choice.

I think we would manage OK....we are all good at keeping busy with personal projects and we would be almost able to manage for food for that length of time, apart from fresh stuff, but without a doubt we would have periods of cabin fever! I would just have to talk myself through those times by thinking I would rather be quarantined than responsible for passing anything on to another child or adult!

I imagine I'd probably go stir crazy after a while, but if that is what is required of me then I would do it.

As far as boredom, I'd be fine. I can entertain myself for a VERY long time watching netflix, browsing the internet, reading, doing projects around the house, etc. If it was me and my family, I think it'd start to get tough entertaining the baby for that long with nothing new to see or do. On the other hand- if it wasn't me and my family, I'd probably go crazy missing them!

That's not to say anything of the worry about me/us having a serious illness. Certainly that would be very difficult.

I'd maybe actually start srapbooking again.

It's not easy. I stayed at the cancer center with my husband for three weeks during his first induction. He was secluded to his floor only. They let us sneak down to the lower level to the restaurants twice together just to give him a little reprieve. I would go down to the main level daily, and sometimes walk across the street to the Barnes and Noble store. So, technically I wasn't quarantined, but it was still rough. My husband was ready to go home after the third day. Reading, watching TV, and walking the halls get boring after awhile. I willingly went back with him for his second induction which was supposed to last 4-6 weeks. We were only there 10 days. I would do it again and again if I could, as long as he wanted to.

I love being home, unless I know I can't leave. Today is the perfect example. My car is being inspected. Even though I've been home for 3 days with it sitting in our garage, today I want to get out because I'm stranded.

Kinda like scrapbooking...I want to do it when I'm tied up with other things, but when I get the chance, I just sit and look at my stuff until the interwebs suck me in and get nothing accomplished.

Normally, I would be fine, but just because I am not allowed out I'd probably go stir crazy.

I might actually finish some projects that currently take a back seat to all the day to day stuff.

My biggest concern would be walking our dog, I would hate quarantine for his sake. He loves his long walks.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest so long as I had constant internet and food deliveries to the end of the drive way!

It wouldn't even be annoying for me, I'd probably be happy about it. I have a bazillion hobbies, not enough time to do even one of them, and I'm an introvert. Twenty one days of forced exile sounds heavenly. I wouldn't need food to be delivered because I can and freeze so much but I'm sure a friend or family member would be happy to drop off supplies on the porch if we needed something. Cat and dog food and hay for the guinea pigs probably and some laundry detergent.

I think I would be fine, probably more than fine because I could use a month in bed and lounging around the house, but I did mention to my husband that maybe we should consider a quarantine food stash, since we don't keep much food around. He thought it was funny but I... Wasn't really kidding.

Take out the threat of disease and it doesn't sound so bad to me either. But I get cabin fever after 2 days, so reality would probably feel a lot different than this fantasy. I live alone, so I wouldn't be stuck here with annoying people - that helps. But it also depends on what I have on my calendar. "Not so bad" means it wouldn't be interfering with trips I had planned or something like that.

I'd say that I'd save a ton of $$ by not driving and buying stupid stuff (like Starbucks daily), but I'd probably max out a credit card on Amazon Prime. LOL! I would definitely have to order a treadmill or elliptical. Not getting any cardio would be the biggest thing that would bother me. I have Netflix and have a ton of shows that I never have time to watch. I'd probably read books. I'd be able to work from home, so that wouldn't be a huge deal. I might actually try to get 8 hours of sleep/night. My house would be super clean.

I have a lot of food, and Whole Foods just opened 2 miles up the road today, and they will deliver to my house. I could also use one of those restaurant delivery places where you can order from a variety of restaurants to get something else to eat I guess.

Ebola is serious. Quarantine without the fear of dying doesn't sound so bad.

As long as I had food and fabric deliveries, I'd be fine. LOL
