Did I say I was going to write everyday? Every week? Once a month I guess is better than what I've been doing for the last several years...
So you thought you were going to have a ton of time sitting at home during the lockdown. Work would slow down... how could there even be work? With the retail stores closed... Oh boy were you wrong. It doesn't matter whether stores are open or closed. Work goes on. With everyone working from home, the already blurry borders between work and life are gone. "Flexible" work arrangements simply means that you're on all the time... with email, text and phone that's all too easy.
So it was nice to take a day off on Friday. A half day volunteering at Martha's kitchen in San Jose was a nice change from sitting at home all day. There's only so much baking you can do. And now the oven needs a self clean cycle.
The worst thing about staying at home is how many more chores you have... cooking every day, means cleaning every day. Washing dishes, wiping down the kitchen. I miss my commute. 2 hrs a day just to be annoyed at traffic. What a luxury.
I have been doing a Couch to 5K. Thankfully parks here are still open. And the local lake is about 5K around. So getting fatter but fitter.
I'm going to emerge from this an expert on crappy tv series and shows. Yesterday was "The Report". The thing about making compromises to watch with someone else, is that ultimately you end up picking something that no one wants to watch. On the bright side, It's It ice cream is still great.
I finished watching "The Untamed"! Too cute for words, but if you ask me... read the summary, watch the first 3 episodes and then the last 15. Skip the flashback.
