I want to go have a beer and play Keno with our friends. I also want to have a nice dinner with someone serving me and no dishes. First of all going to hug all my family and friends.

Run up and down the streets...dancing and laughing? :) Most of all..I

want to grab my family, especially my grandsons and just hug them until they squeek! Then I want to

do something that used to be one of my most hated jobs...go to the grocery

store and just wander the aisles, look, and pick up something and read the

label, or whatever I feel like doing! Never, ever thought I would miss grocery

shopping on a normal scale of things. Then when I am done with that...hug

my grandsons again!

No firm plans made, but I'm sure the first stop will be to the library to return the dozen DVDs and audiobooks we checked out before it closed, and to get some new ones. Then, to the local compost center to drop off some household discards (things that can't be donated). And of course visit my mother and thank all the MC staff in person!

Besides going to visit our kids and grandkids. Make a reservation somewhere and go out to eat. I’m getting tired of my own cooking.

Meet up friends for a happy hour or lunch.

Hubby needs a haircut worse than I do, but I will appreciate one when I can get in.

Think more seriously about plans for a fall vacation, if travel looks feasible.

Call contractors to begin or finish some minor house repairs, have gutters cleaned.

The first thing we will do is drive to Vancouver to see my mother, take inventory in her senior apartment and shop for her. I think staff is doing an amazing job but I need to see things for myself. I need to see her. And I've been trying to think of something I could do for staff in gratitude but I'm not sure just what yet.

I hope to get my hair appointment rebooked before too much longer. I've postponed a molar extraction and implant until all this settles down and should get going on that. We both have appointments made a year ago for annual skin checks with the dermatologist first week of May and I'm not sure what will happen with those - I should probably call next week and find out.

We have a new baby in the family just 15 minutes away and he's changing by the day without us participating in other than pictures! He'll be 8 weeks old tomorrow morning - we want to cuddle and play with him.

We're being told social distancing is recommended even after the quarantine is lifted.

I will go back to yoga class, but will keep a little distance. I need to xeriscape a few yards. Buy a portable fire pit. Plant "hummingbird" flower seeds. I purchased 3 boxes of seeds. Camera shooting wild life.....out in the open. Six birdsnest spruce I planted last year died. I need to return them to Lowes.

Get back to my daughter's house to finish building out the home theater room.

Michael, too bad it isn’t already finished, I‘m sure it would be well-used now!

I'm having, trips to Walmart--withdrawal! (Things I need to pick out myself, not to have delivered.). Don't have family around to hug....may just go hug a stranger, just to do it! (with mask on) lol This shall pass. Patience everyone.

Specific plans, not really. It's too early to give much serious thought to traveling although I sure would like to see more National Parks. So I'm looking forward to being able to walk "to" places again, instead of walking "by" them. We chose our current house because of all the local restaurants, breweries, groceries, coffee shops, library, gym, parks ... Walking is more pleasant when you can break it up with a treat, friendly chat, a sit-down out of the weather, etc.

TBH I'm kind of dreading seeing my dad again (mid-stage Alzheimer's, assisted living). Me and my sisters call him on the phone at least twice a day, but his mental capacity has declined quite a bit, I think because he has so much less face to face interaction.

No plans.
Day at a time...day at a time.

My grandsons have expressed their opinions about going back to school. "Those buildings and buses are not needed. I can learn just as much at home as I can there, and there are less germs at home." :)

They're older sister sees it differently. "When are we going back to school? I can't spend another day with these boys.?

I'm shallow. I just want a haircut and a mani/pedi. Oh, and roam the aisles of the bookstore at my leisure.

I look forward to kayaking with the ducks swimming alongside.

Hairdresser

Sit down restaurant

See friends at the social club

Flea markets

Take the grandgirls to the playground.

Our summer vacation will probably be in the toilet.

Hug son's daughter and newborn. They are self quarantine because of the baby.

Other wise we are still getting out and about picking up what we want. We're not big on shopping to begin with. Doing takeout. And we see my daughter and grandgirls. And when it is warm enough we will be going to the lake for swimming.

I'm already out and about. More so than before this fiasco. I wish I could stay home more. I'm just having to go out more often and alone. Have to be in crowded conditions I have avoided in the past. DH stopped driving so I am "it" for everything.

In no particular order:

Get some plumbing work done so we can carry on with projects we've started but have come to a standstill.

Go back to riding lessons at the ranch. I will be spending a good deal of my free time there. I have a lot of catching up to do to meet my goals for next year. I will continue at the place that allows me to exercise their horses too. So grateful to them for accommodating me.

Go out with friends and family.

Visit the beach, a lot.

Spend time enjoying outings with the grand kids.

Get some much needed dental work done that I was about to start before this shutdown.

It will be some time before I shop like I used to, buying things as I needed them. One of the things I want to do is get an upgraded fridge for the kitchen. I bought the current one with the idea of using it as a stock up fridge in the future. I chose it for its simple no fuss layout as a backup fridge. It's a pita as a kitchen fridge. Turns out it was a wise decision. Only wish I had the new fridge now. (See plumbing work needed above).

Take that advanced several days long firearms class on my bucket list. It's gone way up the list now.

No, I have no plans to go anywhere when this is over. I would be quite happy to stay home all the time.

Michael, you seem to be a handy guy when it comes to construction. I know nothing about it myself although I've enjoyed watching programs like Mike Holmes Do It Right from Canada. I've noted that he uses blue wood for basement framing and vapor barriers/insulation on the exterior basement walls. You appear to have taken a different approach.

I want to go see the Jims and give both big hugs even though one is not a touchy type guy.

Go to various ethnic restaurants and a good steak house and eat the largest piece cooked by someone other than myself. I early realized that it would not be safe to leave home for a long time so reduced the amount I was eating.

Stuff myself with chocolate chips

Eat ice cream

Go and look at all the stuff in stores even if I do not purchase much. Purchase things to perhaps donate simply because the stores need paying customers.

Travel although to where is a very vague question

Absolutely first thing is take out seafood. There is truly a “hole in the wall”, that is the best seafood we have ever eaten. Lil man has his fryers set up and he is a magician. He cooks all day, always a line of folks there. We call in and pick up. Always fresh food. His grandmother cooks at noon with ribs, chicken, collards, mac and cheese. Lima beans ,biscuits. It cost a whole whopping 7.00 including tax. I am dreaming about their great food. Nothing fancy, just great food. We have eaten way too much healthy food during this time.

Go out for dinner and a beer with hubby.

Get together with my dearest friend.

Costco trip

See my dentist. I'm nearing the end of my Invisalign treatments and will need to be fit for a retainer in June.

Get a haircut. Although, with my bangs and layers growing out, I'm thinking of getting rid of both and adopting a brand new look.

And, a little further into the future, I'm hoping we will be able to do our annual escape the heat of August/September stay over on the coast. We've rented the house, but at this point, neither I nor the landlord know if it's going to be a go or not.

Elmer, thanks for noticing. I've been involved in the construction industry for many years. The block wall was sprayed with waterproofing compound and back-rolled. The studs are built 3/8" off the wall (no contact) or fastener penetration. The next step is low voltage speaker wires and Ethernet cables. Once the electrical and framing inspection is complete, we'll install the insulation and cover it with a product called MemBrain barrier. There's still plenty to do.

Haircut!!!

Wrap my arms around my grandkids and seeing them safely back to school where they love their friends and teachers (not sure when or how that latter wish can happen). I am not craving shopping trips out, but I would like to go to the nursery some day.

Yeah, haircut, rita, but I say I'm going grey so will skip the color. At least that's what I say.

I want to go to a great seafood restaurant. And I would like to drive down to the beach and set up the canopy and just sit and listen to the waves crashing on the beach. Have a little picnic. Mia loves to walk on the sand and get her toes barely in the water.

Before this happened I was supposed to have an injection in my foot to relieve pain, and an EGD. Was also supposed to be sent to another doc to possibly have vein stripping. Not sure I want to do that.

I WANT to go to a nice German restaurant in Louisville, though. A friend mentioned it the other day when we were talking on the phone. Also want to go to a movie theater and watch a really good movie with my daughter. Maybe have dinner after.

We are also supposed to be getting together to clean out my house of both kids' stuff. My son is still taking classes at his new base so couldn't do that anytime soon anyway. Hopefully this summer.

I just want to go back to work.

I want to go to Ohio and spend time with my 88 year-old mother.

We're itching to reschedule several trips we'd had planned including a visit to see our grandchildren who we'd planned to see in May but now won't see until Sept. at the earliest. The youngest won't be a baby any longer but a toddler when we see her next and we will have missed a precious stage of her life. Grateful, though, for video chatting which the quarantine has given us time to do most days and that we are all healthy.

I want to see my sweet baby love granddaughter, who will be one year old next Saturday! I want to see my son and daughter and son in law. I want to see my 2 sisters and 3 brothers, especially my brother Mike who had to undergo another round of chemo for cancer. He is doing ok again right now. I don't care abt eating out or shopping. I actually think I will still feel a little wary of going to crowded, public places.

I will definitely get an eye dr. appt. Will have to get my canceled dentist appt rescheduled. I haven't had allergy shots in over 4 weeks and I can tell, hopefully soon.

I just miss my kids and granddaughter so very much.

I did not read all the replies.

No way, do I want to go out to eat... or hang with friends. No, lets get that right... I do want to do that, and go to the movies with my movie friends... but not till sometime next year.

I don't think, I will do any socializing the rest of the year.

In fact, I am leaning heavily on NOT participating in the bike ride across Minnesota that is already paid for.

I want to wait, till everything is way way way safer again.

Moni.. who is thankful she likes her own cooking, and doesn't mind cleaning up... nor sowing, planting and taking care of her own veggies in her back yard.

No plans because I have no idea when we will be set loose. Probably the library and the garden center. I’m starting to enjoy my long hair so maybe I won’t rush to have it cut.

A friend and I were supposed to go on a road trip up north to Maine this July. I don't think that's going to happen now. I've always wanted to see Acadia National park. She wanted to see whales. I had forgotten about that trip when I posted earlier.

Going to the Library.

Nope. My life hasn't changed much. I value my personal space anyway so I try to keep my distance from people naturally. And we dont go many places in normal life. We like being home with each other. I do need my roots done and my ends cut, but I keep my hair long anyway so having it longer than normal isnt an annoyance to me. I am looking forward to people being less on edge and less rude in general when the restrictions are lifted. And I am looking forward to being able to buy stuff I need when I need it,not when the hoarders run out of money.

I won't be going to restaurants anytime soon. Perhaps not this year. The local news channel interviewed the local bar & restaurant representative and his comments were less than encouraging. "Well, staff will need to wipe down surfaces like counters, tables, seating, doors, etc. several times during the shift versus once or twice a day like in normal times."

I've always doubted the cleanliness of any restaurant.

I want to see my son and his family, visit them in their new home which I haven't seen. They live 200 miles away. My granddaughter is now 5 months old, growing and changing every day.

Apparently, it's go see my Mom in her nursing home. I dreamed about her all night, and woke crying at least four times. I miss her. Guess I'm lucky my son is with me and we get along.

(((Rob)))

Just that I hope together with a few friends in Houston and go to lunch and Arbor Gate nursery to look at some roses they have exclusively. Actually my life hasn't changed much except for the cancelation of a few events I would have attended. I like staying home.

I miss going for rides in the county with my cousin Luanne. We would go once a week. I have been self isolating for over a month now but can't see her because I have to act like I might pass the virus on to her because I live with an "essential worker" I doubt there will be any vegetable stand shopping unless it is curbside pickup or if they use the honour system which some stands do use. So I am looking forward to seeing my cousin and getting lost in the county

I'm looking forward to sitting at the Tiki bar at the beach, spending the afternoon sipping margaritas, watching the waves and boats, smelling the salt air.

ok....being serious now, I detest going to Walmart, but there isn't much choice around this area. And I won't really hug a stranger, unless I want to get punched. Looking forward to playing cards again with our group, and having dinner parties.
