Lockdown: A Few Small Upsides to a BIG Downside [Season 4, Episode 33]

When you are a kid, you are taught to look on the bright
side of everything. In that spirit, Greg and Ed search for any
possible positives in their lives as a result of the lockdown
(which, generally speaking, SUCKS). Ed begins by noting that his
relative lack of social life has given him more freedom to
experiment with his diet, which consequently resulted in him
losing 5 kilos. Greg notes that the increased time home has meant
more bonding with his son and many priceless moments that
otherwise might not have happened during more normal
times.


Next, Ed notes the rather mundane but still meaningful fact
that while staying home, he simply spends less money. At the end
of the month, there's actually money left in his account! You
can't argue with that. Greg then brings up the convenience of
finally being able to fix troublesome aspects of his condo, those
little niggly things that bother you for years cause you are too
busy to focus on them. Well, thanks to the lockdown, he can tamp
down that annoying nail that sticks up from the
floorboard!


Last, Ed appreciates the new restaurants and food he has
discovered while searching for food to order for delivery. With
most restaurants closed to walk-in customers for most of the last
two months and an unfinished kitchen, delivery has been a
godsend. For Greg, his extra time hanging out in his condo has
allowed him to meet and get to know more of his neighbors. Little
did he know, there's actually a cool community of peeps that's
been right under his nose this whole time. :)
