Hello @frog
Hey @JustWantLove what an awesome idea! Thanks so much for sharing this. I think K-Mart is a gem when it comes to creative supplies! How are you travelling with everything that's going on out there?
Quick update all @JustWantLove @Shaz51 @frog @plasmo @Imogen and others, the Today show just sent cameras into the Coles distribution centre and spoke to lindfox and the DC Manager there. Hopefully the interview will be published online soon, it was very good! It showed the distribution centre fully stocked and outlined more the problem is the trucks cannot keep up with the speed of sales. A really great move by the orgs as it will physically show people there's no need to hoard - keep an eye out for the article ð
Hi all 
I think this is a great thread @Former-Member and I can see lots of good self-care ideas happening already!
@BlueBay I really like the idea of sitting outside listening to the birds. Nature can be so grounding and comforting in times of high anxiety.
I resonated with @Millieme about having a daily routine. Having some structure can give us some sense of control when things are feeling uncertain.
@Imogen I'm always up for a good word puzzle too! I'm not usually a very keen reader but with more time at home I am trying to read a bit more - at the moment I am reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine.
@plasmo I like your idea of tea and a nap. For me, this time has encouraged me to slow down a bit and focus on simple self-care like this.
I've been trying to expand my (very limited) repertoir of recipes I can cook (getting those freezer meals happening @Former-Member 
)
I've also been Face-timing the people I usually text a lot, just for a bit more human-human connection
@Millieme Overwhelmed can feel like an understatement at the moment. We're all here to listen and to support you. The world has been through times like this before, and this time we have a lot more info on our hands. I do hope things calm down soon with the shopping, there have been some good news pieces today in a bid to assist this. We're here to listen @Millieme
@Knick FB limitations! What a great idea. Would be cool if there were an app you coud write the keyword "corona" into and it doesn't show you anything related to it on insta or FB! Thanks for sharing. We are all here to listen and help so feel free to write your own thread or reply here if you need ð Welcome to SANE.
