Do you still get dressed, shower, shave, in QT?

[RogueDiscus]

I haven't shaved or trimmed my beard in days. I shower about every other day, and wear sweatpants even for a quick run to the store. How have your habits changed?

[coralbandit]

Welcome to the good life !
My behavior has been much the same but I have to admit it is not a real change for me !:p

[LizStreithorst]

I always get dressed. Sometimes I wait longer to do it, but all I wear mostly is a pair of shorts and a T shirt. I never wear a bra at home but if I go out I have always put them on. These days if I need to make a quick in and out run to a single store I sometimes don't bother. My boobies aren't large enough to be offensive. And when it comes down to it, nobody cares anyway.

I forget which country. Did you see the report where the government recommended women still dress nicely and wear make up around the house during quarantine, and not nag their husbands?! They had to retract it.

Please Google that report and if you can find it please post a link. I haven't worn make up for 15 years. I'd be fightin' mad if I were required to wear make up while out putting up fencing. I think that I would tell who said that that he needed to put his stupid idea up in a rude place. (Sorry if I'm incoherent. I've been working like a dog all day doing homestead work all day long and I'm dead tired. What he said pissed me off.)

That would be Malaysia.

I thought that'd get a reply from Liz :)

The link said nothing about a bra ?? :p

I wish I could remember it correctly. Joke about grandma who points out to her young granddaughter that her "strawberry blossoms" are beginning to show. The granddaughter says it's ok these days, grandma.
Later the granddaughter is surprised to see grandma without a bra. She says, well if you can show your blossoms, then I can show my (zucchini, whatever).

Cool Grandmama. Bras aren't all that bad but they are somewhat restricting. I've never quite understood the need for them unless your boobs are so heavy that they need to be supported my your shoulders. Otherwise, except for social believe in following stupid social norms I don't see why? I'm sure that my view is not universal.

[RogueDiscus]

I'm sure this is a totally suspect perspective, but I've sometimes thought if they were more open, guys might not be as hung up on them.

So the "stay at home" order did not change my normal routine since Tom and I are retired. It did change our ability to leave the house and visit family especially my parents who live in a assisted living facility. So we use Zoom to connect with my parents (with the help of the staff) and we literally end up with up to ten family members in a Zoom video chat and that becomes a fun bit of time with everyone joking and laughing. My dad can still tell some pretty good jokes.

Another thing which has changed for me is instead of heading to one of the wetland areas for photography I head to the man-made lake a few properties over or the lake in my backyard. So mostly shooting bugs and flowers.

Awesome photo's Pat!!!

[coralbandit]

Those are great pictures Pat ..
I wish I was retired .
My work is weather dependent so winters and rain provide me more time for my hobby then most ..
Being a roofer I don't need to shave or look too professional ,or rather looking like a professional roofer is really not that fancy !

Haven't changed a darn thing from the usual daily routine that I've maintained religiously for many years.

I think it helps to pass the time well and more importantly, to continue maintaining a welcome degree of normalcy in these trying times.

My day also includes 15-20 reps of around 2 dozen specific body exercises, at least twice daily, to try staying fit. While self-confined to the house, I also walk an extra 2,000 or more steps each day inside the house, and get some fresh air every day by taking some of the steps on our 20 foot long back deck. (I've actually maintained this regime for several months now, which I started last November to prepare myself for the hip surgery I had arranged with the orthopedic surgeon for scheduling as mentioned below).

Since the elective surgery to replace my 2nd hip (previously scheduled for April 30th) was cancelled in order to keep as many hospital beds as possible free and available for COVID patients in B.C., these extra steps and the exercises have strengthened my legs significantly and kept my bad hip relatively pain free - which kind of surprised me - but was just great - I haven't taken any pain meds for a few months now !

I shower, shave and change as before, maybe a little later than usual. But as my wife likes to point out, NO ONE IS LOOKING. :mad:
