Staying Busy During the Lock Down
|
Staying Busy During the Lock Down When I first was told to Self Quarantine at home, I made a list of things to do while at home. I’m trying to do busy things really to avoid watching too much news and also just busy. Clean out my Closet - We all keep things we really have no intention of wearing again but put off getting ride of them for some reason, usually just laziness. I started cleaning out my closet and also my dresser drawers. Amazing how many things I found that I have no idea why I still have them. Try new Recipes - I have a stack of recipes I downloaded from the internet that I meant to try earlier, but on a normal work day, when I get home it is just quicker and easier to whip something you already know. A few days ago, I started making something new every day. Work my Book - I have been working to put a book together “Food, Wine and Sex” for a couple years. I don’t think that I have Writers’ Block. Instead I have Writers’ Malaise so just have been putting this aside for awhile. So along with trying new recipes to possibly add, I plan to formalize the notes I‘ve been making and saving in to something more readable. Improve My Baking - It can take some time to assemble the ingredients, the bowls and measuring spoons/cups, and to read the recipe before mixing the ingredients and being ready to pop it in the oven. Well, now that I have the time, I’ve been baking more and some different recipes. I usually share my Baked Goods with my one elderly neighbor and the Security/Door guys in the lobby. Now I found that with so many places closed, my Baking is more appreciated by others in the building. Really makes me feel good. Refresh My Skin - New York City air is just dirty from all the traffic. Unavoidable, and if you wear even a little make up the dirty air sticks to your face and clogs your pores. Even thought I am careful to wash my face really good every evening, I believe there must be some residual damage. Now being home, I’m not using make-up, well still a little bit, and replenishing my skin with more moisturizing lotions and I also have the time to really soak in the bath tub more often. Trying to Keep a Normal Work Schedule - Being home all day can be the time you want to make friends with your sofa and TV. To stay away from that temptation, I try to maintain a normal work pattern. I still get up about 6 AM, make the coffee, shower and dress for work before starting on my work from home routine. I even take breaks about the same time I would in the office. I don’t put on my usual work clothes, a little more causal, but I don’t think I would want to get much work done if I were in my nightwear all day. Being on Quarantine is no excuse to get sloppy. Just some things I’m trying to do to get through these unusual times and not let boredom take over. Actually, this Quarantine Life is not so bad if you stay active. Please stay Safe and Sane, Jan  |

Ya'All, don't get this stuff. No respiratory problems but my hips hurt more than when i shredded my back. I have maybe 3 people i would wish this on. Miss J, on your upcoming publication. Every 3,5,8 years i have a new job new city new friends. Amazes me how new friends eat up stories of what was life. Think ii'm up to 11 locations now. Keep thinking maybe try a book but who wants to read about an old pudgy guy. Writers’ Malaise is a good term. And your boots are killer.

Good advice. It really is an exercise in self-discipline. Keep as normal a schedule as possible is a great idea. The mayor has asked (ordered?) us to stay in beginning tomorrow. We have been staying in pretty much for that last week already. Interesting times, indeed. As usual, beautiful pic! Being quarantined with you would be a pleasure. Take care, be safe.
