    When (if) this is over and you're free to go back into the world,
    What will you do?
    What's the first place you'll visit?
    What's the social activity in which you most want to participate?
    What lost time will you want to make up?

    What's the first place you'll visit? I miss the middle eastern market, and restaurants/music festivals with friends.

    What's the social activity in which you most want to participate? Dining out with friends, and the gym is a close second.

    What lost time will you want to make up? No lost time. I have made the most of this time, learning, reflecting, praying, and growing. In a way, I've needed this reset, and now that I'm furloughed, I'm looking forward to doing things I didn't get a chance to do, whilst working.

    I've learned that I will take NOTHING for granted ever again.

    You should answer your own questionnaire too, Jeeves.

    My life isn't all that different from the the usual.
    The week before the major shit the big fan, we went to town for an anniversary lunch, but will probably not do anything for my birthday. (Too bad - my SO lost a bet and owes me a really good one.)
    However, as soon as I possibly can, I'll visit an older friend who's locked down in a seniors' apartment two hours from here and take her out for a pizza.
    I hate missing the spring book sales.
    The first place we'll probably go is Bayfield Park on Georgian Bay. Weather will be good for a picnic by then.

    Hopefully back to work. I enjoy my job.
    I especially look forward to getting past the invisible threat (Coronaphobia).

    I should also have asked:
    What has changed in your life permanently?
    But in your case, as in mine, this is probably nothing new.

    Nothing new for me fortunately.
    No astronomy is getting to me but that has been due to Bush fires and since then rain.

    That reminds me, I haven't looked at the astronomy picture for a couple of days.

    It's a good one.

    It will be nice not havin to delay yearly doctor visits or dentist an eye checkups... an i will enjoy bein able to go to stores for various items wit-out such a need for "extreme" germ protection... such as bandana over a dust-mask... usin hand sanatizer while in the store... be thar when they open -- shop quick an get out.!!!
    My first visit preference/social activity woud be my family down south... an for my wife it will be her family up here.!!!
    Look forward to walkin the tracks at the park (not crazy about stationary bike at home) an chit-chats wit strangers an people i know... an watchin the kids havin fun

    No lost time to make up... home life perty much the same... except me an neighbors keep a good distance from each other when we talk.!!!
    Got some garden planted (onions an radishes)... yard mowed an weed eated twice now... an rasin mealworms to feed to the birds.!!!
    Due to our extra germ protection this winter its been nice not gettin a cold... an from now on i will prolly do a beter job of protectin from germs than i used to.!!!

    I'm hoping to get some gardening done, last year was a disaster. The weather has been amazing here since the virus.

    I hope that's not a cause-effect relationship. Unlike the smog situation.

    I put off an MRI I now remember, plus must do something about a cataract opp and dentist as well...I have been in shut down mentally since mid January and putting stuff off since the Bush fires back in November... and thinking about things shopping was once a morning at the center with a coffee and cake, looking at stuff, some sort of nice lunch etc whereas the last six months has been dash in dash out to either guard the property or maintain distancing.

    Sailing violates social distancing?

    Probably being at the marina does.
