<p>I was telling a friend of mine yesterday that reading keeps me quite busy these trying days and she asked if I have enough of them for the long haul. I told her that I have The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, which weighs about five pounds but would last me for quite some time.</p>
<p>Come to think of it, some Shakespeare might be just what my mind and spirit need right now.</p>

<p>Other than work, I can pretty easily self-quarantine too, as I'm most comfortable at home with books. My library is closing after tomorrow but after I finish my borrowed books I have plenty of books on my bookshelves, my Kindle and Nook. Online borrowing is still available from the library system also. That said, I will miss my library greatly until it re-opens!</p>

<p>I'm sure there will be many lessons learned from this crisis, Lyn. And you're so right, we can be a marvelous breed! As for me personally, I'm currently being quarantined at home by my Hunny. LOL! Due to my damaged lungs and other health problems, he thinks it's just too dangerous for me to be out and about, and unfortunately, I have to agree with him. He goes through a ritual of hand washing and sanitizing every time before he comes back in hopes he won't bring any nasties home with him.…</p>

Whenever I need a break from working on my own stuff, I do have a sizeable stash of classics to entertain myself with. Thank goodness that even tho we must limit personal contact with friends and family, we have the internet to keep each other close. I have a feeling that before this is over, we're all going to be needing that. Here's hoping y'all are staying safe and sane wherever you may be! </p> Yes! Thank goodness for books.tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2020-03-19:1991841:Comment:18615902020-03-19T20:06:06.687ZIoruachhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Iorouch
