I hope this stay at home stuff doesn't backfire on all us lazy seniors. It's only been a week, but I already don't seem to miss going out as much as I thought I would. If, after about six to eight weeks of forced solitude and inactivity, we don't get going again, it's going to be bad news for our long term health. I used to go here or there, stopping at 3 or 4 stores as bargains, or purchases, warranted. Now, I'm reluctant to go anywhere. But enough about my paranoia.
Where this is going to hurt us is that we aren't going to re-start exercising, walking, gardening, and all the other stuff. Sitting around with a book (ok, an e-reader) sounds really good instead of pushing ahead to walk in a slight mist. Ellen comes on at 3, but you can deny watching ,if you want. Grocery delivery can be maddening (2 potatoes, not 20 lbs) but it makes it possible to hole up and not go out.
Are the swimming pools where lots of oldsters exercise going to be considered safe for those over 65? Or maybe even those under 65?
Oh, maybe I'll just read for about an hour; then watch Ellen.
