It's now official...our country going into full lockdown from 26 March for 3 weeks We have 400 cases but no deaths as yet....as a 3rd world country we just cannot afford this virus to take hold, especially seeing what's happening in Europe and the States...only essential services to stay open...an hour put aside for the elderly to shop. This is it...scary but the right thing to do...no flights allowed in unless government officials...all foreigners have time to go home or live in quarantine with us.... On another note....as the mountain gorilla share around 98% of our DNA, they have been cordoned off in Rwanda and Angola from humans...they cannot afford to get this virus Let's fight this thing together....the Chinese are now working flat out producing masks and sending medical aid to Italy....we are in this together, and I firmly believe the human race will come out as a better species after this. Please stay safe all!

Great thread as those RED FLAGS do pop up, especially during times of anxiety like we are experiencing right now around the world! I can start my quit all over again once the storm has passed! ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS~ Never has it been more important to KEEP YOUR QUIT ~ think again, get right with yourself, contact an ally, post an SOS~

Our state has given the order as from today to stay at home, Rez & I will still be working, otherwise we will, from now be in lock down, voluntarily restricting ourselves even further than what the advisory says, no take outs, no visiting the grocery stores for at least 4 weeks, (rationing our food), fresh fruit and veg delivery only, first box is ordered for next week delivery, personally there ain`t no F`ing way I would want to have be hospitalized and especially within the next few weeks until those ppe`s and ventilators are supplied!! stay healthy folks On a more cheerful note, spring is definitely coming, loving hearing the birds in the morning

Nope, not today.

Be sure to pack your Bat cape. Be safe.

My husband is driving me nuts too. He keeps wanting to go to the corner store or home depot. We supposedly bought everything we needed for our bathroom project so we did not have to go out. I won't let him go!

So crazy, yes let's keep healthy everyone, xoxo

Gotta do the whole "social distancing" thing, so it's more like...

It is more important than ever to have healthy lungs at the moment. The virus will love smokers.

Huge Congratulations on your 1st year of freedom. It is a great achievement. All the best as you go into your second year. The ride certainly will be a lot easier from now on.

Congratulations Forestgreen! Celebrate your first year of freedom!

With current events effecting everyone in different and many ways, stress and anxiety levels for most people are understandably higher, the best thing that has worked for me now and in the past are: Breathing exercises Here are a few techniques, I encourage everyone to try just a few minutes a day to do a technique that feels good to you, its a case of experimenting as everyone is different but the rewards are worth the time. Deep Breathing Most people take short, shallow breaths into their chest. It can make you feel anxious and zap your energy. With this technique, you'll learn how to take bigger breaths, all the way into your belly. Get comfortable. You can lie on your back in bed or on the floor with a pillow under your head and knees. Or you can sit in a chair with your shoulders, head, and neck supported against the back of the chair. Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air. Breathe out through your nose. Place one hand on your belly. Place the other hand on your chest. As you breathe in, feel your belly rise. As you breathe out, feel your belly lower. The hand on your belly should move more than the one that's on your chest. Take three more full, deep breaths. Breathe fully into your belly as it rises and falls with your breath. Breath Focus While you do deep breathing, use a picture in your mind and a word or phrase to help you feel more relaxed. Close your eyes if they're open. Take a few big, deep breaths. Breathe in. As you do that, imagine that the air is filled with a sense of peace and calm. Try to feel it throughout your body. Breathe out. While you're doing it, imagine that the air leaves with your stress and tension. Now use a word or phrase with your breath. As you breathe in, say in your mind, "I breathe in peace and calm." As you breathe out, say in your mind, "I breathe out stress and tension." Continue for 10 to 20 minutes. This is just 2 but there are many more you can do on google and youtube and trusted medical sites.

Let's order wombats!

Walking and running with the dogs today starts a new regime, going to add in some punch bag work and weights and back to more Yoga

Turn and face the strange...changes

Congratulations Forestgreen!! The 1 year mark is HUGE! No looking back now. Forge ahead with your freedom. Best wishes.

Nuh-uh

I guess Stand By Me wouldn't be appropriate.

Congratulations Forestgreen! Flying Free!

I'm doing the same thing I was doing before the virus crisis, Nothing 😛 No I've had 72 hours off from work but have to start back today. They gave me a letter that exempts me from all travel restrictions if there is any associated with the CoronaV. So it's back to work for me. I wish everyone the best and hope this scare calms down soon.

Just in after inspection of courtyard. No snapped rats. No sign of rats for the first time in months ! The restaurant down the street is closed due to the COVID-19 shutdown, removing the rat's major food buffet. Maybe, will get ahead of the rat game, at least temporarily.
