When this is all over what are you most looking forward to

[SlipSlidin]

Well?

Seeing my children play with their friends and my parents being able to hug them. I have never been an anxious person but my response to this has really thrown me. Lots of love to everyone feeling it.

If my Mum (who is 87) dies, I won’t be able to get back for her funeral.

Hugging my DGM and for my DV to spend time with her again. And just for her to not be a prisoner in her own home all alone ☹️

Seeing my dad. I'm so scared I'm never going to see the infuriating old beggar again

DC not DV

Seeing my eldest son
Getting back to work and actually earning some money

I'm looking forward to having lunch with my siblings.
We don't get on at all but having lunch will mean they (both with significant lung problems) got through this.

Sitting in my parents house and touching them.

Fuck all the people who refuse to socially distance and be responsible. You’re the reason it’s ljkely to take more than 3 months. Fuck you all.

Having a street party with all the neighbours I have got to know through our leaflet drop offering help.

Crossing the channel & seeing my beloved DC & my DGC. Nothing else matters.

I can't wait for that hug.

"Need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you
Like a sea around a shore "

Seeing my parents and giving them both a hug. It will be the first time I’ve not seen my mum on Mother’s Day 😕

Going out for a nice meal. Going on holiday

Having my preventative mastectomy that was supposed to happen next month, taking my risk of breast cancer down from 85% to almost nothing.

And seeing my kids play with other kids again.

Being paid my normal amount. I’m currently on a substantial wage cut just to keep my job.

Being able to see my mum.

I was working as normal at the beginning of the week, and am now teaching online from my kitchen table. Much as work is a giant pain in the arse, I am looking forward to standing in front of my students again.

Also just an ordinary Saturday/holiday type day - long lie, meet a friend for a nice lunch, have a wander round the shops and maybe buying something to wear, some makeup, a nice candle - something completely frivolous instead of worrying about not having enough bread. Then picking up M&S Indian meal deal to have with DP in the evening, with a glass of wine, and the cat purring beside us.

Basically what I took completely for granted a fortnight ago.

Hugging my friends and booking a holiday.

Hugging our daughter (just turned 29 and living 30 miles away). We can't know whether we'll all survive this. It's a terrifying thought that I can't get out of my head.

Appreciating our mundane routines :)

@BadBadBeans

Hope it all resolves & you get your masectomay asap.

Working from the office (hate working from home)
The football season
Eating out
Church
Training at the gym

But ….. I'm an INFJ and a big introvert: this period of low social contact is no big problem for me

Not thinking about flipping FOOD every day.
as in go out for meal, or grab anything from the fridge and buy whatever tomorrow.

Going on holiday and flying safely.

@magimedi ta! It's crazy to think of how many different operations are being postponed across the globe.

Going to take my kids to a big adventure park and soft play, they can lick the balls in the ball pit for all I care.

The gym, church, hugging people, laughing, watching apocalypse films without feeling a creeping sense of dread, my hands recovering from washing them 500 times a day, going out and about, concerts, travelling- want to go to Italy to support their tourist industry to help them recover, not looking at people as if they’re Typhoid Mary every time someone coughs

Getting back to normal, whatever that is.
