I have officially been in self isolation for five weeks.
Time has gone by surprisingly fast.... however I am still very much looking forward to the end of this period.
I was in the Netherlands when my self-isolation began. At first, it was easy; my AirBnB was gorgeous, had a great view and fabulous balcony, and I did not feel like I was missing anything. The next two weeks I spent in a hotel and then an AirBnB in Sacramento, keeping with the federal requirements for a 14 day strict quarantine for those coming back from being in Europe. This was definitely a more challenging period, however was manageable (& the AirBnB portion was quite lovely!). For the last two weeks I have been staying with my partner's family, and this has definitely been the most challenging period.
In my regular life, I am generally socially distant, and keep to myself besides time spent with my partner and a few close friends whenever our paths cross. I treasure my solitude, my quiet mornings and evenings, and time snuggling my cat. Staying in a household of four adults has definitely put a strain on all of my favorite "alone" activities, leaving me feeling suffocated by far too many social interactions for my liking.
With all that said, I am still quite thankful to have someplace safe to be, and a loving family, even if there love can be quite overbearing at times. However, I will definitely be more focused on apartment hunting, and hopefully getting into my own space sooner rather than later!
