18 Tips for a Successful Quarantine! (Almost 2 Weeks)

  •  

Last Updated on January 5, 2021 by Brie

Well, I am officially running out of things to say. Being in quarantine, coupled with having the flu makes me a pretty boring person on to of my already pretty mundane personality. Not only are we not going out because of Covid-19, we are also not doing very many home activities because of influenza B. We are getting into a bit of a routine this week, and I’m not sure it is really a good one.

Our Not So Great Quarantine Routine:

  • 10:00 Wake Up: Shower, feed animals, and get ready for the day
  • 11:00 Have Brunch!
  • 12:00 Play a little bit and clean something
  • 1:00 Do preschool in the afternoons,
  • 2:45 Snack
  • 3:00 Lay around because the flu sucks and I feel drained
  • 6:30 Have dinner at some point
  • 7:30 Play/watch movie
  • 10:00 Go to bed.

That has pretty much been our existence for the last week. During the lay around part I have been continuing my job search and typing up some blog posts here and there. When my classes start back up remotely next I think things will look a lot differently.

Furthermore, I am hopping on the blog to let you know it has been almost two weeks of us practicing social distancing. I have been looking back over our time in quarantine and all the tips that we have come up with. Today I am bringing them to you in one big list style format!

  11. Call around and ask for Toilet Paper instead of going into the store.
  12. Go for neighborhood drives without getting out of the car to keep your car running and your sanity of getting out of the house.

Some more tips to keep you from going crazy (and still stay germ free!)

  1. Give the kiddos a small task to do to get them involved. This could be something like feeding the animals or putting away the silverware!
  2. Turn your home into a “town” make your book shelves the library and that random plant in the corner the “tree house”
  3. Keep Celebrating birthdays, but in a safe way! We have tons of Safe Birthday Celebrating tips here!
  4. Use services like Amazon Pantry and Walmart Drive Up to get your groceries!
  5. Stop Eating Out at Restaurants or going though Drive through (instead trying learning new recipes)
