Anyone else enjoying lockdown?

Is anyone enjoying this lockdown period?

DH are very fortunate to be able to work from home so we take it in turns to look after the baby and do some work. Our work has also been understanding and flexible wherever possible. We have enough supplies for a week and it's a short walk to the local shop for any top ups.

As naturally introverted people it's nice to just be us and not deal with the outside world.

Don't get me wrong, I am worried about our loved ones and want this to be over as soon as possible.

I feel terrible for feeling this way as there are so many people who are struggling right now but this time has given me an opportunity to regroup and refocus without seeing colleagues for a few weeks.

The only thing we are struggling with is the home schooling. I'm not an introvert but often need time alone when I can't face socialising. I sometimes need to push myself to interact with even family and friends. Everyone things I'm antisocial and I can be OCD about germs and constantly washing my hands.

I feel very safe in my home and very laid back because there is no need to psyche myself up to go outside. I'm a bit worried I'll become a hermit and never come out again.

There is almost literally no difference to my life tbh. I work from home anyway and maybe venture out to the supermarket once a week if that and am quite happy to continue this 😃 obviously I’m worried about myself or loved ones getting sick and the long term implications of all this ie a recession but it hasn’t changed my day to day life much at all

I'm very happy being alone (an only child, and separated from husband). I've also been unemployed for a while, so my life won't change a lot. I usually go for a walk each day, and the supermarket is just down the road so I can combine my weekly visit with my walk. Lots of books to read, DVDs to watch, emails and letters to write - just me and the cats. Bliss.

I'm a teacher in the US and have been home for over a week. DH is working from home and I'm sending out work to kids each day, plus 'meeting' them regularly on video conferencing.

I don't enjoy working at a desk for several hours a day instead of being on my feet and chatting, but it's better than everyone getting sick. I make DD come out for a walk each afternoon.

I'm not even halfway through the list of quiet at home things I always mean to get round to and never have time for. If it weren't for the awful news outside our doors I would be quite content. I'm a bit shocked at how much people seem to be upset and staying home tbh. I'm a really outgoing gregarious type, and not finding it too bad. Compared to dying in a hospital corridor it seems like bliss.

I've been SI and WFH for 3 weeks now and have rarely been outside the village, just dog walking and one shopping trip.
DH, retired, has a rural job/hobby that he carries out alone, so we're not on top of one another all day.
As an introvert and a prepper, I would be blissfully happy with my books, music and iPad, pottering round the house and garden, if it were not for the dire news every day and the coming shitstorm.
