How do I prepare for a new wave of self-isolation when everyone is already relaxed

The self-isolation regime caught us by surprise. There were so many plans, and all ideas had to be abandoned overnight. What to say about the plans - it was not even possible to solve the current everyday issues. And from the memories of how the eldest son had a toothache, and we had a long and tedious time to seek an appointment at the municipal dentistry, goose bumps.

Do not think, I am sympathetic to quarantine. I'm sure he is needed for our safety. Some acquaintances believe that the threat is over, but their position seems reckless to me.

And at the same time I make up for lost time. For example, I meet with loved ones whom I have not seen for several months due to restrictions.

It is a long-standing family tradition to visit each other. I have few relatives, and they all live in the neighboring region. So I wanted to visit my uncle and aunt for the May holidays, to see my cousin and her children, but it didn't work out.

Immediately after the bus service was restored, I took time off from work and went to my relatives. Internet correspondence and phone calls are a convenient option, but they can never replace live communication. I realized how much I missed only when I saw my loved ones. Hopefully they will be in time to visit us before the likely introduction of restrictions.

We live with a spouse and children in a small apartment, but this causes no less problems with all kinds of breakdowns. The sore spot is the water taps. My husband has golden hands, but he directed all his strength in a different direction: he works as a surgeon. So he has no time to fix the taps. Constant shifts, night shifts … During the period of coronavirus, he practically settled at work.

That is why I called in a foreman to overhaul the cranes. Now I am sure that I will not have to worry about the serviceability of the water supply system.

I work as an accountant in the office of a passenger transportation company. After the announcement of quarantine, we were immediately transferred to remote work. As soon as we closed the month, the company was suspended. Flights were canceled, there were no orders. I had to look for a part-time job. Fortunately, I once prepared reports for private entrepreneurs. Since April I have been cooperating with the owner of a small bakery and food stall. I hope that this work will stay with me for a long time.

Speaking of nutrition! I never laughed at thrifty people. There is nothing wrong. Don't we shop a week in advance to save time?

Having a pantry full of long-lasting products seemed convenient to me. You can always take something from the supplies and make a quick dinner.

It is common for all women to plunge headlong into worries and troubles, but how can you forget about yourself? I would like to look "one hundred percent" even while sitting at home. That's why I dedicated the weekend to refreshing my wardrobe. I don't want to order things on the Internet later. You never know if the thing sent will suit you or not.

Yes, I don't like to order clothes. But that doesn't mean I don't need the internet.

He was needed in quarantine like air. We regretted that we did not conclude a contract for a high connection speed! The price difference is small and the video calling is much better. The tariff was changed when the office of our Internet provider opened. Now talking with relatives and distance learning will not turn into a headache.

And again about the school. How difficult it was for children to learn from electronic versions of textbooks! Maybe for someone this option is convenient, but we are exhausted.

The eldest son constantly checked his VKontakte page, and the younger one managed to pass another level of the game between examples in mathematics. I had to run from one to the other and try to get them to practice normally …

I bought the textbooks in advance and I know I will not regret it. The stores will probably be closed later, and I will not master another war between studies and gadgets.

At the insistence of her husband, they took up dental health: the case with his son taught. When private doctors went to work, it was unrealistic to make an appointment: not a single free space.

I didn’t know that my two teeth needed treatment. But at the most inopportune moment they could declare themselves!

I advise everyone to think about their own health and possible everyday problems. It is not known how long we will have to spend at home if the second wave of coronavirus is suddenly announced. Therefore, careful preparation for any adversity will not be superfluous.
