Life is essential! Everyone is and the truckers are doing an excellent job! Am thankful I still have a job as many do not. Lots of people have essential jobs and life goes on where they are at. I am currently at a sit down job where I am not on my feet most of the day. We all have jobs to do, whether at home or at the jobsite.

Everyone is essential each life all the truckers I feel lonely cry and working very hard standing up and helping as I can. Others like you perhaps need a break and a big hug. Essential is in the eye of beholder. My parents consider me essential so I hope this no contact an such ends soon. No interviews no touching has made me push harder longer and it’s more a metal challenge then anything. I am Glad I have not wasted a minute as the shut down comes to an end I will be prepared for the financial impact that will shock manny as they do not know this is a global financial reset that we and others will never forget.
First two hours of the morning are dedicated to school work (nice to do school work in my pajamas). I have spent a lot of time organizing my collection, adding listings to my eBay store, and beginning to make more videos again.

This is how I've spent my quarantine so far... lol. The old man who lived in our house before us was a WW2 veteran, and had an old WW2 USMC Ka-Bar knife that he weeded his garden with. He left it when he moved, so I've also used it to dig dandelions the last 7 years. The handle was missing, it was rusted out, and the sharp tip was worn completely smooth. I decided to finally try fixing it up. I removed the rust, grinded a new tip, then filed and sanded the blade. I then added a new leather handle, which had to be shaped and sanded as well. Not perfect, but at least it looks like a knife again!
I teach Algebra 1 to 8th graders, so I have been busy doing online teaching, helping the 15-year-old stay focused on HIS online lessons and working on my Master's.
The wife and I are both in the thick of this virus and we have both been called in to log ubber amounts of overtime.
So less spare time than before and I enjoy every second I am home and not wearing an N95.
Been working like normal as I somehow have essential status but weekends have been productive cleaning up around the yard. Things are starting to to look like they should. Too bad it will go back to being a mess once we are free to roam around again.

My wife and I both are working twice as hard and for half the pay and have never felt more grateful. Both of our companies furloughed half of their employees.
Besides my normal job I’m a yoga instructor. So yesterday to try to get to some level of normalcy I taught yoga online to a few friends and family members. Then we went to our favorite food store ( we would normally do this after practicing at our studio). We waited 1 hour on line. It was well worth it to get back to a routine we were familiar with .
It was comforting. We finished shopping at the Farmers Market. Our batteries are recharged.

I hear you. I'm fortunate to be still working and only mildly inconvenienced (so far) by this. But I have told colleagues that I would gladly take a pay cut to stay employed next academic year.
For many people, the cure is worse than the disease. And those of us lucky enough to have not felt the economic pain should be truly grateful. I know people who might lose their businesses and even their homes if this lasts for a few months longer.

Oh, I'm quite used to it which is why I didn't comment at first. But some of the later pitching on this thread borders on illegal in some states. She was all but offering financial advice.

I've been setting up and planting raised bed gardens in my back yard. I just got my batch of fruit trees and berries that I ordered last fall. I've got a blueberry bed, a raspberry bed and two vegetable beds started. I have also planted a few fruit trees and have others in pots growing their roots out to be planted later.
Oh and if there are any other Peleton riders I’m goblue023. Would love to do a ride with you

Yes they are very handy. I am using old boards from around the property as the sides no nailing needed and if I want to change where the raised bed is all I have to do is move the blocks.

How do you keep the critters out? Over the last two months the skies ate clearer (good) and the critters have become more abundant ( bad) . The don’t bother my citrus trees but they reek havoc on my peach, pomegranate and avocado tree. I was thinking about a raised bed but I’ve always had issues with Raiders wiping out my ripe tomatoes and other veggies. TIA

I'm in northern Alabama. My main issues are Japanese stink beatles(a.k.a. vine beatles) and groundhogs(a.k.a. woodchucks). The only answers for groundhogs are fencing, live traps, and dogs. As for the vine beetles you just have to keep an eye out for them before the become established in the crop and physically get rid of the eggs and young.

LOL on the Japanese Beatles. Back when I was seriously growing my own food I made deal with my kids. I guess I had an acre growing and was majorly killing the dang bugs. I couldn't be home all the time so I made a deal with my boys. I think I offered them 5c for every one they caught. The problem was I didn't say they had to come from the garden. I got home after I made the deal to be greeted by at least a thousand of the dang things...none of which came out of my garden. Needless to say that deal was terminated!

Working anywhere from 10-40 hours of OT a paycheck since February. Most I’ve ever worked! Maybe not the most productive, though 😝
Once you go over 10 hrs. of OT a week the tax % bite increases and for me it is not worth the extra $ for the time you have to work. Rather have the free time.

So would I but unfortunately I didn’t have the choice.
I have revised my British coins and kings book. Expanded my Roman coins and emperors book. Written an article about Eisenhower Dollars, and have posted several coin articles on the Internet.
I have busy, but “cabin fever” has set in, at least for my wife. I live Florida and have a pool in the backyard. That has made things more bearable. If I lived in New York City and was cooped up in a tiny apartment, I would be going nuts by now.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Busier than ever. My job is considered "essential" so all work obligations continue. But, my kid is home from school so that means I have to work from home for what is not really a work-from-home type job. Homeschooling the 1st grader takes a few hours a day too. But I'm one of the lucky ones so I can't complain. Employed and healthy, for now.
AM still open in my store/ slow activity except for Bullion gold and silver. Been able to spend closed time (Sat/Sun) finding items in old lots ,some bought 40 years ago. Great tokens and Medals that were very cheap back then and now are very interesting and trading at much greater prices. Have found some great rarities that were never able to be researched (no internet back then when purchased). Now have over 200 items out at the grading services and 800 + sports cards ready for PSA. Hopefully everyone will stay safe and we can get back to some kind of normal activity.. It' been very tough with no golf and no sports on TV.
