welly welly well

What are you all doing in quarantine? I feel like I should be getting a lot more accomplished than I have. I work on my taxes, edit photos, read, play on facebook, workout, make dinner, eat cookies...watch Tiger King. Before you know it it's 1am. My days are starting to blend in with each other, I know yesterday was Easter, but every day before, i'm not sure. I left a month ago, and this is truly the strangest extended vacation i've ever had. 

What do you all enjoy, and what do you miss with daily living? Some people are really enjoying quarantine. I have to say what I like about this, is that the rest of the world is on pause. I have a constant fear of missing out on things, so I push myself to do stuff all the time, go out all the time, and I end up exhausting myself and spreading myself too thin. Knowing the rest of the world is on pause has given me a lot of time to catch up on sleep, focus on some semblance of normalcy and just relax. Sometimes it is hard to do when you think about people being sick and how terrifying this illness is, but when I'm able to let that go, I'm really doing quite well. What I miss though, is my friends. Zoom meet ups are not the same as hanging out in the same space together. 

I am also finding that the gym helps me hold myself accountable. I take a lot of fitness classes because its a room full of other people-I figure if they can do it, so can I.  At home, trying to motivate myself is hard. I quit after 20 minutes out of boredom.  How are y'all doing with workouts?

Anyway, on to other things. Yesterday we had a crazy wind and snow storm. The power got knocked out and I spent several hours in front of the fireplace to keep myself from freezing (I'm now asking myself about this risk mitigation thing on coming to Nebraska). Fortunately I ended up having a nice Easter/passover dinner and a positive end to a rather crummy weathered day since electricity returned.  

I wish there was more to say, but a lot of life is going to be repetition for a while. Y'all are in my thoughts. Stay safe and I'll keep pumping out content to keep you as occupied as possible ;)
