I wish I would have spoken with my podiatrist just a month or two earlier. I would've had surgery on my achilles tendon and been on recovery road by now instead of being in pain and waiting...waiting...

[SorryShaped]

Told a certain woman how I've always felt. I'm nothing to her and I know I'll only get hurt if I do, but I still want to.

This is really minor, but I wish I'd had my hair cut. It was already on the long side of what I let it get to, but now it's really long and bugging me, and my only option is to wear a headband to keep the bangs out of my face and put my hair into a ponytail to keep it off my neck.

I would have brought several rolls of my favorite TP and some hand sanitizer. What I did end up buying,.....it's terrible and I have no sanitizer

[TishaBuv]

Listened to my instincts and sold our investments.

Last fall, I had started thinking about a trip to California to see my neurofeedback guy in person.

He was super excited and had given me all kind of ideas about how to set it up, including doing mindfulness classes at his clinic, yoga next door, heading to the beach, using his office to work remotely. He had a ton of ideas and made me feel very welcome.

My piano teacher was excited for me and willing to save my spot and not charge me.

My boss was OK with me taking my computer and working remotely.

And... I put it off. Between a family trip in November, the holidays, the new year, stuff that I had to do in-person for work at the beginning of the year (swapping out an old computer for a new one), dealing with a breaking down car... I kept thinking "I'll do it soon!"

Now, he's had to lay off a bunch of people, I'm not sure what his office is like, and obviously, I can't travel right now.

I feel like I missed an opportunity that probably would have been very good for me. It was a bit stressful (I almost never travel and don't get out of the house enough) - but I think it would have been helpful, fun, and challenged my brain in a good way.

So, it's kind of a big thing. But, I wish I had found a way to do it.

On a smaller note... right as the virus was taking off, I ordered two small (35-count) containers of sanitizing wipes to try them out. I wish I had been less picky and ordered big hug bottles of them! I went back a week later, and they were out of stock everywhere!

Gotten an appropriate mask

[Travelinglady]

Had my eyebrows waxed

[Mountaindewed]

I wish I had bought more soap maybe. Bath And Body Works had a 75% clearance on select hand soap right after Christmas.

All I know is I am glad I did not put off starting my transition. I thought of waiting. And talked to my aunt and mom and asked for their opinions. If it was safe to go to the doctors. I Called the doctor to see if they were still seeing people on the 17th of March. I am so glad I started it.

Nothing..... I am enjoying learning from my annoyance and anger.

I can think of 3 (main) things I wasn't quite feeling up to yet before, but want and at this point feel like I could get/push myself to do.

1. Get a haircut at a barbershop for the first time in I don't even know how long.
2. Get the small telescope tattoo I've been thinking about getting for a while now.
3. Take my GED test. I think I'm at the point where I might be able to pass now, in regards to my mental function (memory, focus etc.), but hey I guess with this one it just gives me a little more time to make sure I'm prepared.

[LiteraryLark]

I wish I paid off my debt/not get into debt in the first place. I did get it paid off but still that's money I wish I had to keep.

No, it's not minor; the hair issue adds a burden to all of this.

Funny thing...I wish I wouldn't have had my hair cut right before the salons closed. I had it done really short, regret it, and now I have to grow it out.

I had never bought hand sanitizer - except once. I bought a trial size for 99 cents about 3 months before it was all bought out. I never used the bottle, in fact, it was in the back of my bathroom cupboard. Then I remembered that I had it!

That's noble. I like it.

A telescope tattoo sounds so cool!

There are 3 things, and I have no solid reason for why I put them off except that we only have one car now; and husband was very busy all of February and most of March, so I didn't have many opportunities to use it.

- Visit my middle sister, in the States
- Pick up my latest parcels at my parcel depot, also in the States
- Stock up on pet supplies, which also happen to be less expensive Stateside

I've wanted it for a while now, and last month worked up enough courage to go to a shop for a quote and even put down a $60 deposit... But of course ended up flaking out last minute and put down a deposit for nothing lol

Wish I had requested 2-3 books by the author that I'm reading so I would have gotten them just before the library closed. There's about 20 books in the series and I'm only on book 4. So if I'd timed the request right I would have had plenty of time to read 2-3 books.

Traveled. Being a caregiver would have made it impossible regardless as my mom passed away during this pandemic before it came down to self-iso.

I, too, wish I would have visited my sister before the shelter in place. She lives 25 miles from me and I kept putting it off.

But the 60$ will still be valid when the shop reopens, won't it?

Visited my local library and got a stack of novels before all libraries were abruptly closed

Most libraries now have free services you can use to take out e-books or audio books remotely. You just need your library card to log into the service.

Get a haircut. My hair is 29 inches long. I was going to get it cut very short. I had a coupon for a haircut and misplaced it. I found it after Covid 19! I wish I had the guts to cut my own hair.
