Longest time spent without leaving your house?

[Duke87]

I make a point of going outside at least once every day, even if I don't otherwise have a reason to, purely for the sake of staying healthy (both mentally and physically). Need fresh air and direct exposure to sunlight.

I don't remember when I last broke this rule. There may have been some random Sunday in the 2010-2013 timeframe that I stayed inside, but I can't definitively say.

I do know there was definitely a day in March(?) of 2009 where I did not go outside and barely even got out of bed... but that was because I was sick with some sort of stomach virus.

Are we talking about leaving your home (the property where you live) or actually going outside?

My recent illness saw me go for some decent periods without leaving my property. I know I went outside some during that time but I went several days without going anywhere.

Or actually go outside and walk around, which besides being a more enjoyable and refreshing experience also gets you exercise. Seriously. Being a hermit is neither good for you nor something to brag about.

I remember being stuck at home with chicken pox for a week as a kid. In my adult life, the longest was 2 days, which was right after I got out of the hospital after being stuck in it for a month. Since I moved into my present apartment, I pretty much always go somewhere shortly after I wake up, if only to go to the local coffee shop down the street.

During the racing season it had become quite normal for me to not leave my property from the time I got home from work around 1830 Thursday night until I left to go to work 1730 Monday night. Still, I would have gone outside the house several times in that time frame, though.

Then DVR's really became a thing. That coupled with my hatred of commercials has me watching almost everything except the Sunday afternoon Cup race on a delay. I still watch the Cup race live because I also use Raceview on my computer with the scanner traffic or I wouldn't even bother watching that live either.

So I get out alot more now, and we usually road trip that Saturday off between coming off of days and rotating to nights.

I just got back from Acadia, so I did get exsircise.
