I’m “working from home” 35–40 hours a week. My morning coffee and watching TV is until around 11 a.m. I check emails and get or make an occasional phone call. Luckily it’s not terribly busy, since most other people are working from home and so there are not a lot of work issues.
I go with my daughter several times a week to visit friends and we walk, socially distant, or I sit with the mom and we chat while the girls take a walk to the lake. That may be a two hour, total, escapade.
I was painting the dining room. I’m done now and in the process of putting everything back, hanging stuff back on the walls, am doing little painting projects (shelves for example). I’m cleaning while I’m putting things back so it will all look great. I got new curtains and the rod and curtains need to be hung, along with some other new stuff that has to be unboxed and put up.
Other than that, it’s streaming shows and helping my daughter with her online school work. New York just announced that in-school has ended for the remainder of the school year so it’s online for the next two months. That was no surprise. I have to keep after my daughter to make sure she is keeping up with the work. She is a night owl and I’m not so we have to coordinate our schedules to get the work done.
I love being home and I love not running around for work meetings and night meetings (about two a month), and having only the weekends to get errands done, but I’m tired, at this point, of hearing the daily press conferences from the Governor and the New York City Mayor, since they’re saying pretty much the same thing every day, and they both say similar things. I also would love to be able to go to a restaurant or take a little trip, but I remind myself that when those things are happening, that means things will be opened back up which also means I’ll probably be back to work, so that will be the good with the bad.
