Hey Pandas, What Was The Best Thing That You Did During Quarantine?

Had to spend time with myself and think about my family and my life until that point. This is how I came to realize that I was raised in a toxic, abusive environment, filled with trauma, hatred and with domestic violence. And all these had a huge negative influence on me, even decades later.

I decided to start therapy as I understood I needed help. 3 years later, I can say that quarantine was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I started doing diamond art and bought too many from online that I still have 10-20 of them still not done yet.

Finally rested.
Well, my schedule was way too tight before that. I finally got time for resting and finishing my watchlist

Spending time with my Husband and Kids, like really spending time together. I got to know them on a whole other level. Also, my dog! I miss those super Long walks with the whole family, as we are now back at the super busy everyday schedules.

Went for a picnic on the day we were meant to be getting married.

I got to stay at home and when I heard stuff I already knew in virtual school I just played computer games >:D

Not much. Stayed home and read, watched movies, and occasionally played games with the wife...of course, we're shut-ins so it didn't affect us that much...

I still had to do school during quarantine but over zoom. it was fun because i literally did nothing. it may sound very lazy of me, but i actually loved not going to school for a while and not really doing...anything(cuz literally everything was cancelled. sports, other classes). it was nice having a break from the world imo. i would play outside with my friends too (with masks and heath precautions ofc) cuz we all had nothing to do. it was amazing. i am happy the pandemic is pretty much gone tho.

I worked in a supermarket nothing changed for me.

I read all of Sue Grafton and Agatha Christie's books. Talk about a great time for uninterrupted reading!

Got covid!

I work in healthcare, so when that shite hit the fan, there was no such thing as annual leave, or taking a break.

When I got covid, I had 3 week off work. Admittedly I spent a just over a week of that in hospital on oxygen and steroids, but it was still a break.

I got a gecko

I got married (in an absolutely tiny ceremony on a front lawn).

Obviously the first thing is spending more time with the dog. A solid second is buying a $1000 bicycle with gov't money I would have never done otherwise. The bike has close to 1000 miles on it so far.

This happened right before everyone got out of quarantine and went back to school and all that fun stuff but my family's small business held a fundraiser for my old school's re-opening. It was on the news too, they tried to interview me and my sister but apparently we're both REALLY bad on camera so they didn't air it (and tbh I'm glad)

Discovering Bailey Sarian and het Murder Mystery and Make-up Mondays. Saved my sanity!

Quit my job and started a new career. Qualifying as a nurse in January.

Nothing it sucked
