Yes an order was issued and am staying in and working from home

We have a Stay at Home/ Shelter in Place until April 30 and then they well see at that point what they want to do.
My husband is working from home.

We haven’t been issued a shelter in place order yet.

They have closed a lot of places where we live. It is not mandantory that you stay at home but advised and a lot of people are doing it. We are taking safety seriously and staying home much more.

We have a stay at home order. I’m an indoorsy person so it’s not a big deal for me, but my teen son is driving me crazy because he doesn’t want to follow the rules and stay inside.

Yes, we are under shelter in place orders, but we were already doing it anyway. We’re doing okay, working, cleaning, lounging and video chatting friends.

No stay at home order in Texas but judge issued one in my county. Watching lots of TV and cooking. UGH

I’ve been anxious about this ordeal, especially since we are not going anywhere. I’m feeling very stir-crazy, but I’m trying to keep my mind occupied through crafts and by reading.

My area is not under a mandatory stay at home order. I run a small farm but my does gutters and vinyl siding and goes to work everyday. I’m staying at home with my kids but the hubby says he has to work.

We have a 2 week stay at home order right now in MN. I am currently on call for work and am exercising, cleaning my home and drawing in the meantime.

Just stating in as much as possible. Trying to get the kids to keep up with their homework.

I am trying to keep my family safe. We are all at risk (my mom and the rest of us have asthma or diabetes). We walk around the neighborhood, pick up groceries, or do take out. NO crowds or stores!

My area was issued a stay at home/shelter at home order. Since I am retired and pretty much a loner anyway it hasn’t really affected me that much. I can still take fur baby to the park everyday and go to the grocery once a week (and then come home and find what they didn’t have on the shelves online!) The only thing is the beauty shops are closed. I wear my hair very short and spiked so I just ordered hair clippers from Amazon and did it myself. Didn’t turn out too bad for the first time and hey, it’s only hair…it will grow back. Oh, and fur baby needs a nail trim and I can’t do it myself because I need 3 hands to do it (one to hold the squirmy dog, one to hold the clippers and one to hold the foot) and my little boy will bite if he gets stressed! The vet is available but you have to call them from the parking lot, they come out and get your pet, take him inside and do whatever they need to do and bring him back out. You have to pay with your phone. Being as that would be stressful for my boy…he doesn’t like to be taken away from his mama… I opted to wait a bit but if the nails get too long ya gotta do what you gotta do to keep the little feet healthy!

Yes, I’m New York so we have been staying home since 3/13/20. We have been practicing social distancing, but still plan to go outside for a walk on the local rail trail.

We do have a stay at home order…i’m doing okay, my job switched to online and I have food and entertainment. I miss close human contact though and my normal routine.

We were issued a stay at home order

Yes they advise we stay at home at this time, just working at home as usual here..

i am playing lots of games with the kiddos. Baking and trying new recipes. We live in the country so we are taking lots of walks Thank you

It was issued here, and things are fine so far.

I’m in NJ and yes we have a stay at home order. We’re a bit afraid. Hubby is still working, he works for UPS.

Yes we have stay at home order. My son has to go out to work but comes straight home. We are all staying home we go out and play in the back yard to get our sunlight.

Our area’s orders have gotten more and more restrictive, and safety conscious rules. We have been staying put except for very limited exceptions, and taking precautions. I’ve been trying to help relatives with applying for unemployment, and things like that.

We have both a county & a state stay-at-home order. I have been staying home. I’ve got a lot to do between reading books, watching Netflix, machine embroidery, coming up with meals to help use up the meat/chicken/seafood in my freezer! When the weather is nice, I go take a walk on the greenway!
The thing I miss the most is that I can’t pet my sister’s cat since she’s an indoor cat! When I’ve dropped groceries off at my sister’s house, I see my sister because we can stand 6′ apart but that doesn’t work for her cat!

We have been told to only go out for essentials and no traveling across state lines.

Issued stay at home order

My entire state (PA) is under a stay at home order as of 8 pm, April 1st.

We Have A Stay At Home Order. I’m An Indoorsy Person So It’s Not A Big Deal For Me, But My Teen Son Is Driving Me Crazy Because He Doesn’t Want To Follow The Rules And Stay Inside. 4/2

We don’t have a shelter at home order yet but everyone is working at home and most businesses are closed except for grocery stores.

Oh, yes, our governor has been on it from the start. I’m home and comfortable.

My county has a stay at home order, and I’ve been working from home. I’m pretty much a homebody, so it hasn’t been too bad so far.

Yes, we’ve been “sheltering at home” for about three weeks now. Kids are home from school, not scheduled to go back until 4/27. (Although, I won’t be surprised if that gets extended.) We haven’t even left the house for three weeks! It’s not so bad. Kids are a lil stir crazy. We’re trying to do a little of the at-home learning stuff, and keep ourselves busy/entertained.

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/2

We were issued a Stay At Home Order today in Tennessee.

My state was issued a stay at home order. I am retired so I no longer work so I was not affected in that way. I am by nature a solitary person so the social distancing has not affected me greatly.

We Have A Stay At Home Order. I’m An Indoorsy Person So It’s Not A Big Deal For Me, But My Teen Son Is Driving Me Crazy Because He Doesn’t Want To Follow The Rules And Stay Inside. 4/3

Yes, we are only able to leave for groceries and medications unless we are essential workers.

I am focusing on my studies and hanging out with loved ones.

The stress and paranoia is really building here. The new cases practically makes me depressed. Still no mandantory lockdown in SC.

We have a stay at home order but hubby is an essential worker.

We are under a stay-at-home order, both county & state.
I have not left the house to drive anyway since the day before the county order took effect.
But I was out of milk, and out of romaine lettuce, so I drove to the closest store to pick them up, and got some other veggies too!
So I’m good for another week!
I bought a 3D butterfly machine embroidery design, so I am stitching that out now!

Yes, we are Sheltered In Place. My husband is 72 and I am 67 so we are remaining at home. Our 2 children have been awesome helping out. When they bring the grandkids so we can see their sweet faces they stay out on the driveway and we stay in the garage. Can’t wait until we can hug all of them again. Please stay safe!

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/3

Yes, we have been staying at home. We are trying to keep the kids busy so that they don’t go crazy. They are doing well, but they really miss their friends.

We have stay at home orders until May 1st. Man that seems like a long time.

My area is not under a mandatory stay at home but we are staying at home only going out to go to the grocery store, gas or the drug store. We are doing fine. We are homebodies anyway, keeping busy decluttering, cleaning, baking reading, surfing the net and watching movies.

Colorado was pretty early on to issue a stay at home order. It hasn’t really had any effect on us since we are in the “getting the garden ready” mode and would be at home anyway

Yes we have a stay at home order in PA. My husband and I still have to go to work and it really scares me.

I got a head start on staying at home. Haven’t been in a store or eaten in a restaurant since March 12. Our stay at home order was issued March 28. I work at an essential business but I’m sequestered in my office (restroom attached). There are only 9 people out of 25 that aren’t able to work from home. I order us lunch every day, delivered by Postmates, Uber Eats, etc. It’s been okay so far. The only things I can’t get from grocery pickup are flour and canned peaches.

I Pretty Much Only Leave To Go To Dialysis 4/4

I have an auto immune disease so I’m at high risk. I’ve been home for 3 weeks getting groceries delivered. I did go out this week to get blood drawn and then right back home. Reading a LOT of books. And entering contests…
Thanks for the contest.

My state put a shelter in place order last week. It didn’t change too much for me as I was already working from home. My business is deemed essential and I have a letter to carry that allows me to travel to and from work as needed

We Have A Stay At Home Order. I’m An Indoorsy Person So It’s Not A Big Deal For Me, But My Teen Son Is Driving Me Crazy Because He Doesn’t Want To Follow The Rules And Stay Inside. 4/5

We have a stay-at-home order here. I am coping with it just fine, so far.

Yes, we do; but our lives haven’t changed. My husband still has to go to work, I have homeschooling (for 11 years now), and we pick up things from the stores and restaurants.

We were issued a stay at home order for 2 weeks, but my daughter was home from school a week earlier.

We were issued a stay at home order last week. It is difficult to not go out unless absolutely necessary. I already miss our favorite restaurants.

We were told to self-quarantine here in Michigan but a lot of people aren’t listening. Our grocery stores are always packed. I am not working right now (I go back in June) but my husband still is which makes me so nervous as I’m chronically ill.

We are a shelter in place state. I haven’t left our home/yard since March 13th. Doing our part!!

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/5

My Area Was Issued A Stay At Home/Shelter At Home Order here in New Orleans. I haven’t left the house only to get milk, bread and it’s at a small store near me. Stay safe everyone!

I don’t mind complying with a stay at home order, since I’m a homebody anyway. What is giving me lots of anxiety is the fact that food is disappearing from the shelves because of the panic buying. I worry about how I’ll keep my 4 kids fed.

Not much has changed for us since we homeschool, but people are flipping out if they see others going into grocery stores and such so its been weird for that aspect. My hubby is working from home, but with 5 people we are having to go to the store about every week and a half. I’m so glad I had found a sale on TP before all this started because its non existent around here now.. I’m a little shocked at how much mistrust there is of others and of how people are calling out for more rights to be take away even though we already have stay at home orders, etc. In our community page some people are complaining that children not be allowed to play in their own backyards because they think this virus will float around the neighborhood and they will catch it. Its a bit much.

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order..

have to stay sheltered in place– rain is stopping–can’t wait to start the garden–need outside time soon.

I don’t mind staying home but I have had a lot of anxiety about supermarket germs.

We have had a county level stay at home order for the past two weeks, and they finally took that state wide at the end of last week. I’m working from home. It is a huge relief, since I’m high risk. It is much safer for me to work from here.

We are still working because apparently painting your house is essential.

I live right next to a state university and we were issued a stay home/stay safe order in March. I only go out once a week for groceries and meds. I’m doing ok staying home – I am a loner and it gives me time to catch up on my reading. It is pretty scary though.

Yes we definitely have a stay at home order in place here in Michigan. I am currently not working as I am a restaurant employee so it has been quite hard on our family. Sure hope things get better for everyone soon! Thanks so very much for the chance to win this giveaway!

We were Issued A Stay At Home Order!

I really don’t mind staying at home. I’m worried about the economy, though.

We are under a curfew now that starts at 5 PM everyday.

I Pretty Much Only Leave To Go To Dialysis. 4/9

My husband is working from home and he really likes that. He wishes that his company would continue allowing that even after the crisis is over.

So far still working and trying to stay safe.

Yes my area was listed to stay home and only go out IF you need something, but me and my siblings been going out for my Mom because she is at a higher risk than us. I am not working due to the virus and it stinks. It’s been stressful at times because your build up in a house and you can only do so much every single day, so yeah it puts a toll on you after a while.

we have a stay at home order and we have been staying home except to go get grocery’s once a week. When the weather is nice we can take a walk around our neighborhood or work in the yard.We will take a ride around town in the car every so often.

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/10

My husband is working from home and wishes he could do that forever. Maybe employers will be more open to that idea in the future.

I am really hoping we can find some essentials this weekend. Had to pay $6 for a dozen eggs the other day!!

We have a shelter in place since mid March.

I am a resident physician so still going to work and just going with the flux and all of the daily changes. In South Dakota our cases are just starting to rise, so I’m anticipating a tough few weeks ahead. Regardless, I’m not one to stress and will just keep my head up!

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/11

Our area in northern Illinois here is under the stay at home in place advisory, hubby and I have been getting many things done around the house here that have been neglected for a long time though now. So that is a good thing. My husband has been off for three weeks now with full pay and medical benefits from where he works. But they are starting back up this coming Monday on 04/13/2020. Love that man but he can get on my nerves every now & then.

We have a stay at home order. We only go out once every ten days to get some groceries

Yes we do have a stay at home order and have been in for 5 weeks . Were fine we bought everything in advance freezer etc. Now we have been watching movies and gardening too.

Still under a stay at home order. Still take fur baby to the park daily (weather permitting). Go to the grocery once a week. Tried to grocery shop online and have it delivered. What a joke! Keeps zeroing out whatever I put in my cart. So I go once a week first thing in the morning (during the hour reserved for us old folk and those considered especially at risk) so I can at least find a substitute if they don’t have what I want. Last Wednesday when I went it was the first time there was no line at the checkout. Just walked right up and checked out.

Yes, New York has had to stay in! It is a lot of time in the house but appreciating the extra family time!

Still stuck at home in RI too!

Yes. We are third in line for the amount of cases in the US here in Michigan. I honestly am not handling it well. I’m chronically ill and a brain surgery survivor. I also have asthma. My husband is a CNC programmer in a shop and they are NOT allowing them to wear masks. They think it will cause panic among the rest of the staff. They did cancel this coming work week though. so I’m thankful my husband will be home with me. They tested everyone in his shop for the virus (blood and nose swab) but the results aren’t back yet.

We are under a kind of partial shutdown, as my area isn’t that populated.

Yes, we were issued at Stay at home order until the end of April currently.

I have now passed 4 weeks on home stay. I really miss swimming 3 times a week.

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/13

My husband and I are both considered essential workers and are both working while our college son is now home, our senior has all his fun plans cancelled and my junior is missing her first prom. Lots of changes for sure. We are dealing the best that we can and I say a prayer each night that we all stay healthy.

We’ve had a stay at home order for quite some time. I’m recovering from major surgery, so I’ve been getting the rest I need.

We are under a stay at home order until June.

Yes, we were issued stay at home, I guess, suggestions? We have had to leave twice for groceries and once for prescriptions since March 12th. We are in NY (upstate) and our NY on PAUSE orders started the 15th.

We Were Issued A Stay At Home Order 4/14

We are hanging in there. I actually tried my hand at making home made bread yesterday. Turned out pretty good!

Fur baby and I still go to the park every day (weather permitting) and I get to the grocery store once a week. Not so much different than normal

Yes, and all the kids’ schools are closed to everyone is at home. My husband still is a essential worker, so he goes out but not as much. This are hectic and crazy with the kids learning from home, very stressful but I hope things get into a better routine soon.

In South Carolina they waited a while to issue a mandatory stay at home order. I have asthma so I stayed at home as soon as the President said it.

I might buy some books.

Yes, we were issued a Stay at Home Order, as of Yesterday it was just Extended an Additional 30 days. we are doing okay. I was a stay at home mom prior, so I never left the house regardless (no car) unfortunately my fiance is an essential worker, so hes still working. I have 2 high susceptible kids. if one gets a common cold he ends up in the hospital for days. so, I am really worried about what my Fiance is exposed to and potentially bring home. my other kid has heart issues. my older two don’t have health issues though so they should be better off.

yes we were issued a stay at home/shelter at home order so i have been redoing my bathroom and kitchen

We do have a stay-at-home order in place. My husband and I are both retired, so we don’t go to work. We are coping very well, I’d say.

Everything is still the same here. Still cannot find ANY paper products anywhere. I don’t understand the hoarding.

We have had a stay-at-home order since Mid March. I always work from home because I don’t have another job other than my blog.

My family and I are at home under orders and are going a bit stir-crazy. I’m trying to stay sane by doing crafts and reading as well as watching good movies and cheesy reality shows.

yes, we’re under a stay-at-home order
