Most of the world = whatever will I do! this social distanceing is horrible, Im about to lose my mind!

Most of VGChartz = aaawww, perfect time to catch up with the backlog of games I have, read some books, or binge that tv series I wanted to see.

Social Distanceing? self Quarantine? no problem
Now apply a power outage, or no internet to that.... things are suddenly vastly differnt.

No power, no problem. Spring is here, got a stack of books to catch up on. No gas might be a bigger problem, still would like some cooked food!
Actually no power means my kids will be so bored I won't get to read at all anymore, so yep, no good!

This social distancing, would be fine for me if it stays that way lol. People on the trails make room for us to pass (I took my kids out cycling for a bit yesterday). Roads have far less traffic. I don't have to worry about getting stopped and held up with an idle chat along the way. I have a great excuse not to go shopping or go to the dentist. Gas is cheap. The air is cleaner, less traffic noise. Nice quiet park, no more filling up with tons of cars for baseball and soccer practice. No more trash blowing onto my property as a result. No rowdy kids in rafts coming by on the river.

I'm enjoying this new life. The only downside, my kids are home all day. Currently they're loudly arguing over who is more lazy (they're having a competition about being the laziest...) The competition who can be quiet the longest doesn't work anymore lol. Next crisis, netflix isn't working on the tv. (too lazy to watch on any of the other 10 devices it works on)
