AND the governor keeps saying he thinks the lockdown will go well into summer. I’m freaking out. I want to go hiking and to the beach and ****. Why couldn’t this have happened over the winter, when it was cold?
And I’m increasingly worried because I’ve also been reading that this could go on until a vaccine is developed. Like, we could stamp out the virus, but as soon as we loosen restrictions it pops up again and we go back into lockdown. This could potentially go on for 18 ****ing months.
The closing of the parks has tipped me over the edge. I want to see my family. I haven’t seen my grandparents since February (bc I got sick with that nasty sinus infection). Video chatting is nice but I need to see everyone in person.
I do have virtual therapy tonight, so I hope she can calm me down.

My husband has been having the same anger and frustration, since he heard. Same state.
We were regularly going to parks for walks, hikes, biking. It's sad that we'll be limited to streets and sidewalks. It gets boring going up and down our road. My husband is thinking of going to his company's main campus. They have walking trails. Since they aren't officially "a park", I hope they'd let us go there. There's also the university campus. That's lovely and somewhat park-like. I know you live somewhere not too far away from there.
