What are some things you have not done since the Coronovirus really set in?

Asked by chyna (51572points) April 21st, 2020

Since I have been furloughed due to the virus, I have not worn makeup, dried my hair with a hair dryer or flat ironed my hair. What are some things you’ve stopped doing?

I haven’t curled or flat ironed my hair. I do dry it with a dryer for 2 minutes, but only styled it twice that I can think of. If I’m in front of people I usually just pull it back in a ponytail. I’ve worn make-up only a few times.

I haven’t painted my nails.

I haven’t let anyone in my house (except my husband of course) and haven’t gone inside anyone else’s house.

I had stopped eating raw vegetables, but started this week.

I let my hair go back to it’s uncontrollable state and haven’t bothered to use utensils at dinner.
The wolves I was raised by would be proud :)

I think just sit-down restaurants and movie theaters (they’re closed), game meetings (cancelled), and a family visit I had planned.

@janbb I can order popcorn with butter fron Skip the Dishes from my local movie theater for $5 plus tip and cost of popcorn. Maybe you can check it out and have a months supply delivered.

No normal social stuff, no haircut, not really much to say. I’m pretty low-maintenance (lazy?) and I just seem to be a bit more so.

Echoing many of the answers above: my last haircut was on March 11th, so it’s getting kind of messy now and I’m used to keeping my hair short. My mom says my longer hair is cute so I guess I’ll leave it alone for now. :P I haven’t been to a restaurant in a while, haven’t been to a park since April 1st (they closed the last park that was open around here shortly after that), haven’t seen friends in person. :(

No studio art classes.
No yoga classes at the Y.
No volunteer shifts.

No in-person meetings.
No meals out.
No attendance at performances.

No hugging, except my immediate family.
No thoughtless moves in public, such as opening a door for someone or handing over a grocery cart.
No cash transactions.

No frozen dinners in the freezer. Inefficient use of space in a small freezer.

No hair coloring or trim.
No lipstick.

About the same as everyone else, no hair cuts, no eating out, no coffee with friends,that sort of stuff.

Not a lot has changed for me honestly. However my grey roots are showing, I haven’t visited with my sister, no movies, no eating out and any shopping trip feels like a horror movie, so i do that as little as possible.

I miss my kid. Sometimes we meet up for socially distant walks and chat/yell to each other, but damn. It’s so rare and awkward.

Jeruba's avatar

@canidmajor, that does sound hard. In your place I think I would just take the risk and give her a hug.

jca2's avatar

Haven’t been to work (in the work building), haven’t been to a restaurant, haven’t had hair colored or cut (except me trimming my own bangs), haven’t been to the movies in a movie theater, haven’t been to a play or musical, haven’t been to the library, haven’t been to a store other than food store, Costco or Walmart, haven’t hugged or touched anybody other than my daughter.

canidmajor's avatar

@Jeruba, she won’t let me. She shops for me and is around more people than I am. She’s a damned fine watch-dog, but I really do look forward to After when I can hug and hang out with her. :-)

Jeruba's avatar

@canidmajor, I still miss her around here too.

Will get a pedicure when the salon opens up again. My feet are looking nasty.
