Diary Excerpt_Week 1_Chelsea

March 24th, 2020

Everyday feels the same and the days go by fast. I sleep mostly through the day and stay up all night, leaving me with massive headaches. There is nothing to do but switch between apps or sleep. I don’t really watch tv and even if I did, Netflix doesn’t really have much to watch. I’m bored

I still have a headache but I’ve decided to take Tylenol for it. Every time I sleep I dream, weird dreams. The dreams are all vivid but creepy and I often can not go back to sleep after. This probably has something to do with my sleep patterns. I lost the tiny remote to my TV so again there isn’t much to do besides switching between apps or sleeping. I miss outside.

The city lockdown and curfew and quarantine in general is driving me crazy. I don’t know how other states are coping or how severe their cases are but I’m going to Virginia to stay at one of my houses there for the weekend. Hopefully all their businesses are still open and I can get some stuff done. Ive been trying to fix my sleeping schedule  but it goes wrong every time, I even sleep through alarms.

Diary Entry 2_Chelsea

Since the city has been on lockdown, not only has schools shut down but jobs have too, including mine. Restaurants and bars have been subject to transition into takeout and delivery services only. Although I did work in takeout, I still have not been put on the schedule for work. There is a 10 people capacity in restaurants, 5 workers and 5 customer or delivery drivers. This has caused me to file for unemployment, which I have not done so yet because the page crashes due to high activity and I have to start over. Quarantine has also ruined my sleeping schedule as I now have the sleeping patterns of a bat. Many of the grocery stores are empty leaving my fridge to be empty too. I’ve been surviving by eating eggos. My day mostly consists of sleeping and watching Netflix. There isn’t much to do and its driving me crazy.
