What great news! So encouraging! May I ask in which part of the US you're in?

It's a western mountain state. I keep it a secret because I don't really like it here and complain a lot about it. But I love love love the governor and send fan emails to the governor's website. Sorry don't want to identify where I live. It's one of the Four Corners states. (Not California of course but I lived there for 15 years and loved every single day of it.)

The end of June?! That is a really long time. We are looking at the end of April right now. I wonder what will happen at the end of the month. Will masks and contact tracing be good enough to stop it? I thought I stayed at home all the time but I apparently went out more than I realized.
Thanks for this!

Normally staying home would be just fine for me as I'm an introvert who enjoys solitude. However, I ended up in quarantine at my in-laws place which is super stressful and there's no such thing as solitude here. Also with an underlying condition in the mix, I'm not sure how or when I'm going to be able to get out of this situation.

Well, I can think of a bunch of situations that are a lot worse, so I'm still thankful for the ability to quarantine, but it doesn't really make things any easier to deal with. Solitude is like air to an introvert. It's hard to breathe without it.

Sending a hug to everyone out there who's having a hard time with all this!

So I live alone and am self-isolating alone. I tend to think everyone else has it better. Not so! For instance, I was talking with my son yesterday and things have been getting tense between him and his girlfriend. They are normally work-o-holics with different schedules. Now they are home together all the time. My son is worried about his new business. He just went on his own this year. So he isn't in the best of moods while his girlfriend would like, I think, more interaction, talking, cheerfulness etc. My son is an introvert, works alone, can spend a lot of time alone...while his girlfriend is an extrovert.


None of us have it that easy these days. But on the other hand I am starting to appreciate my solitude a bit more.
