Lockdown Lite update
Mar. 31st, 2020 09:23 amI have things pretty good. They're letting us work from home. As my job is normally quite paper-based, there's not always a lot of work to do - yesterday was the first day I was actually busy all day. But I am still in work and getting paid, so hurrah!
I have commandeered the dining room - I have two screens and a real keyboard which won't fit on the desk in my study (having borrowed the screen from my Mac Mini, which is incidentally way bigger than the screens I have at work, along with the tiny laptop screen). I'd gone home with only my laptop, and the announcement that we'd be WFH for the foreseeable came in the evening. As the office was still open, I walked in and grabbed my keyboard and foot pedal (and all the OTC medication I keep in my desk, just in case). Oh, and went to Baristas to purchase an extra kilo of coffee beans. And to the gym to clear out my locker.
(And on the way home decided not to cancel my gym membership, as I'd quite like there to be a gym to go to when all this is over.)
My home desk chair is not as good as the one at work, but at least I have one.
I am wildly vacillating between doing Productive Shit (parts of the house are verging on clean, I found time to read a fairly dense non-fiction book) and running around having anxiety attacks. Like everyone else.
I was going to start Running Outdoors. Not till the weather gets a lot better. I was fairly consistently walking around the neighbourhood quite a lot, till I got a cold last week and I haven't really got my walking mojo back. I found some exercise channels on YouTube I like the look of and did 25 minutes of core and stretching yesterday.
It's the thinking about cooking and meal planning that's really getting to me. When this is all over I'm going to wallow in eating absolute junk for a month.
