We’ve been having some rough days. I had thought things might get better as we got used to this lifestyle, but I was wrong. Here’s my suggestion for you if you find yourself in the same boat.
Wormy has been hitting a certain time of the day and just crying her eyes out. It doesn’t help that my husband and I both have work to do from home now, so she can’t be our center of attention during that time. Combine that with how Squid has her own work, so she can’t play with Wormy when Wormy is done as well.
Wormy and I sat down and made a list of things that she can do when she’s mad at any of us (she tends to get more frustrated with us all lately), or when she’s waiting for us all to get done with our work. I drew her pictures to go with the words so she could figure them out on her own. She seems pretty excited about this idea, but only the next few days will tell.
My husband has been having similar problems, so he’s going to make his own list. Currently, we both have been hanging out on facebook marketplace a little *too* much (luckily, we balance each other out and don’t end up buying EVERYTHING we see!).
That’s my recommendation. Make a list of the things you do that can bring you happiness, or things you’ve wanted to get done and haven’t yet. Maybe there’s a new project your nervous to start, or a hobby you’ve always wanted to try. My new motto has become “If you aren’t going to do it during quarantine, when exactly WILL you do it?”
How about all of you? What have you been doing to fight off the monotony of our current situation?
