Lack of quality time

One of the challenging things for me during this coronavirus panic has been the lack of time with people that I care for.

My love language is quality time. But with everybody hunkering down and hiding in their homes or wherever they are and saying that they can't get together or they don't want to come over or they are obeying the government means that I don't get any time with them. Phone calls don't really happen. Because they are busy with work video calls and other things they don't want to set aside time or they have not set aside time to do a video call with me.

So I'm spending a lot of time alone. At home. Doing projects. Working out. Doing my lessons. Eating. Not drinking very much. Spending time with my wife, my college-aged son, and my high school senior son.

But I miss the others in my family. And I miss getting together with people. We did have another couple will come over for dinner a couple weeks ago. I had a water bottle at the door and I sprayed them like I was disinfecting them. They didn't get in till afterwards but than they thought it was sort of funny but also they had that sheer look on their face the I've seen so much lately.

But it was fun getting to spend time with them. Just talk and hang out.

I miss spending time with people.
