Does anyone go out? What do you do?

Last time we went out of the house was to get out of the house. Went to an outdoor shopping center to walk the dogs in November.

We get everything delivered. Don’t have a problem being in the house, but if I think about doing something out, there is nothing I can think of that I want to do. I hate shopping. I live in the suburbs so its just houses, parks and malls.

What do you do to get out of the house, is it for fun, errands, attractions? Or stay in too.

We generally go out to walk. If I go out on my own it’s often with a camera.

That’s a really good idea - getting out doing photography.

I like to do birding during the spring summer, and fall.

Otherwise I go to the library but I lay low due to the covid situation.

Since covid and winter I go out a lot less. Rarely I go out shopping with my parents or visit family. Last summer my friends picked me up and we hanged out, we ate at a restaurant, walked in the mall and had coffee.

Yeah covid is demotivating cuz no one wants to go out. And all the restriction.

Mountain biking has been good for that cuz we could easily social distance and stuff.

Every weekday I attend the local clubhouse to socialize and eat lunch with friends. In summer months I take my dog to the dog park so SHE can socialize. Last week the clubhouse was closed due to the winter storms we’ve had and I had a hard time coping with being alone…I don’t know what I’d have done if I didn’t have friends to just talk on the phone with.

Yea my friend who used to pick me up is afraid of getting out and catching covid as he’s not vaccinated, he’s an antivaxxer. We also can’t do much with him as he doesn’t have the vaccination passport so we can’t sit inside restaurants, we have to eat and stay in the car. My other friend doesn’t have a car and another rarely talks to me as he’s busy with university.

How cold does it get in Alaska?

@Aziz most posts, you are in bed playing video games. You’ve gone out way more than me even. And I’m in bed playing video games a lot. You’ve done way more out than I have.

That was last summer. Otherwise I only went shopping with my parents once in september so since september I only went out to Drs apt or to pickup my meds.

I am much less active in winter.

Right now it’s 0 F, warming up from -35 F this morning. Our clubhouse is closed on days -35 and colder, but last week the problem was the unprecedented amount of snow. It’s taken them all week plowing to make the roads drivable. This week is supposed to be “warm”, so no colder than -15 or so.

Do you like Alaska? When I was 20 My dream was to move to Alaska. Never happened. I think it was that TV show in the 90ish that made me want to move there.
