It’s been a very long, arduous week and weekend. Quarantine has only been in effect since last Tuesday, so it’s only day 5 … but it feels like 50 already. I lightly follow the Corona news but it’s just as bad if not worse than before. I think a greater majority of people are taking it more seriously, especially with city, state, and federal mandates in effect.
After work one night last week, the wife and I played the appropriately named board game Pandemic (info and buy). Not in a means of mockery or anything like that, but just simply as a parallel to the world situation right now. Unfortunately, we lost the game but I hope humanity exerts some heavy critical thinking and common sense skills to combat this virus so we do not lose in real life.
My wife works from home, but the only different thing for her was me being here all week. I, however, thought I’d like the “work from home” (WFH) idea, and while there’s definitely perks (less gas/car maintenance, not eating out, etc.) it’s still quite draining to be honest. I have enough discipline to just stay put in my office for the duration of my shift (less lunch and breaks), but I think I’d rather be in the office.
Outside of Costco and Frys early last week (Monday or Tuesday), end of last week we went to Home Depot to get more flooring stuff. Corona may be here but we still have projects to do in gearing up to sell our house. So, we (mainly Danielle because I stink at laying floor) were able to finish my office. My last post showed a picture of my WFH setup, including the awful carpet. Now, it has new, super shiny flooring. Here are a couple of after photos:
Aside from work stuff and laying the flooring Saturday, we spent Sunday working on the fire pit. It was just the rocks surround by some tough weeds, but now it’s all fancy smancy looking and I hope we’ll use it a few times before we sell.
I’m quite sunburned and ready to hit the hay to get ready for the really official week 1 of quarantine — last week was the catch-up every company was doing. I was wrapping up my 5th and final week of the particular class I’m in in college and just literally about 30-45 minutes ago the instructor posted a very well written research article regarding the Coronavirus (not by them). I warn you, it’s not a 5-minute read, but it is depressing, engaging, surreal, and makes tangible what should already be for all of us. Here is a link to the article.
Until next time! Stay safe out there!
