Good Sunday morning.
Well shortly after I wrote my post yesterday the sun shone brightly.
It was a lovely day.
Lucky me, I went to shovel the driveway and there was no snow.
It had melted.
That was a first.
YAY.
Alvin and I enjoyed a beautiful walk in the afternoon after several loads of laundry.
Ended the day watching the newest STAR WARS movie “The Rise of Skywalker.”
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
This morning it has been lightly snowing since we were first up at 5:00 a.m.
No worries we did not stay up but I can tell by the amount of snow that it did not stop.
Actually it appears to be coming down with more intensity at this time.
Oh, last night we had a good show with the rabbits.
Alvin watched them intently gathering and having a snack out front.
At one point there were four of them.
Happy to report they are getting pretty brown.
We have so much snow which is not great for the wildlife.
I was thinking as I walked to the computer this morning.
List of things that change when staying at home / working from work during a PANDEMIC
- Transportation to work, no bus tickets or payment for carpool.
- No need to carry a purse, cause I do not use anything in my purse
- More snacks
- Changing up exercise routine
- More television
- Baking more
- More snacks, did I say that already (very important)
- More time spending with loved ones and in my case, my dog Alvin
- No commute time to work (ten steps from bed to laptop in office in my case)
- More time to clean the house
- Less time actually spending cleaning the house
- Less energy the longer at home
- Overthinking everything
- Trying new recipes
- Waistline expanding
- Need to start wearing button up pants instead of the stretchy ones
- No gatherings
- Quietness
- Having television on during work hours for background noise
- Routine, trying to keep work and home separate
- Time spent looking out of the window
- Did I say changing up exercise routine, gotta start that ….
- Walking more (when weather allows)
- Hoping for sunshine
- Happy when receive texts from family and friends
- Learning new things
- No coworkers
- If you have school age children at home, then you have now become a teacher
- Trying to remember what day of the week it is
- Resting, maybe too much (depends on who is in the house with you)
- Excited to see the rabbits gathering out front to have a snack (no social distancing for them)
- Happy to be alive and well
- Wondering how long this will last
- Nervous about going back to work
- Staying away from news and social media for a time to be less stressed
- SNACKS, so important for one or more in a household
- Food has become so important
- Realizing that one’s leaking tap is going to be this way for some time before can get fixed
- Supposed to be spring now, why more snow?
- Anyone at home that has folks bringing by groceries and supplies, we are grateful, realizing this will end someday and I will be shopping again
- No going to the mall (I did not go much, anyway)
- Thinking of how much the world has changed over the past month or so
- Thinking of how much things will change going forward
- Realizing that this would be retirement minus the working Monday to Friday
- Getting stairs in several times per day (if you live in a multiple storey home)
- Getting close to 50 (points to make)
- Making a list that never gets completed
- Day 3 cleaned the junk drawers
- Day 6 cleaned the front closet
- Day 18 cleaning the junk drawers again, and the rotation begins.
NOTE: two things enjoying being with Alvin all day everyday and having my own perked coffee in the mornings.
Well time to hit the shower before having breakfast and enjoying some perked coffee.
Happy Sunday everyone.
I hope that you are smiling …..
Remembering we are living in kindness and with respect.
I/We, remain
Always, Carol & Alvin
P.S. trying to decide if I should just cut my own hair.
That could have been point 51.
My hair is much longer than this photo.
Am thinking I could put the long clipper attachment on Alvin’s hair cutting machine and cut my hair.
What do you think?
If in household with children ….. cut their hair.
If in household with a dog that needs a haircut ….. already done.
