Thinking about you harlee. When we reflect on how very much our lives have changed, each of us having our own individual circumstances, it's understandable there are times of feeling somewhat depressed about it all. Being a caretaker and the worries that come with that can certainly add to that feeling.
I maintain my bayfront condo I purchased in 2017 saved my sanity the last couple of years. At least I could go to a place with a different view-The Chesapeake Bay. And while I still social distanced for the most part, it is a different community, different people with dolphins frolicking in the Bay-different from my primary home. And we have had snow and ice here too. I don't go much during Jan, Feb, or March (except to flush toilets and change any batteries that are beeping) since it is brutal bay front with winds and cold.
Walking my dog and walks get me out of the house, going to the library to pick up a book as do weekly errands (which amounts to the grocery store, drugstore or Lowes/Home Depot, etc.) Connecting with friends and family on the phone and seeing my grandchildren, Daughter and Son-in-law "some" helps as well. I give myself daily "pep talks" reminding myself this surge will end one day, they will find therapeutics, we will go back to some semblance of normal.
Take care of yourself!
