20 Days in Captivity

Today is the 20th day that I've been stuck in the house. Working from home, not going out, not seeing friends and family. It's stinks! People keep calling this our "new normal" and I'm like "I hope not".  Life will definitely be different AFTER this crazy, but I hope this isn't our normal.

Billie sent me a funny text this week that made me smile. She said, "You know what's funny? Dad would be saying, "I told you so! This is why I hoard food.." He and mom would be so set for this." And you know what...she's totally right. Though Mom, god love her, would be Queen Hypochondriac with this.

Since I've been stuck at home I thought it a good opportunity to the a "Currently" review.

Loving: The fact that the weather has been so nice. Loving that spring is on it's way. I hope we can get out of the house by then!

Hating: This Virus! I hate it more than Brussels sprouts!

Eating: Not healthy that's for sure! I have felt the need for comfort food this week. Did a tator tot casserole and Hunter's Stew

Reading: Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. It's our book club book this month. It's good. Amusing and well written. Looking for a quick read? This might be your book. Vines & Spines will be doing a virtual book club on Wednesday...first time ever. Should be interesting.

Watching: I just binged 9-1-1! I started watching 9-1-1 Lone Star and found I loved it, so figured I'd check out the original series. I love it too!! Back in the day Mom used to LOVE the show Emergency with Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe. That was the one night we were allowed to eat dinner in the "living room" (we were on base housing. There wasn't really any more rooms in the house besides bedrooms.).  Each episode of Emergency they'd find themselves saving someone and in crazy situations all the while calling...literally calling into Rampart Hospital.  Well 9-1-1 is the newest rendition of this type of show and I love it. I watched the first two seasons and am caught up in the 3rd meeting.



Listening: Nothing! The first time I've listened to music was during yesterday's Virtual Happy Hour for the company. About a dozen of us showed up and the theme was "What's your Job Theme Song?" I've known my theme song theme song since the second week on the job. It's never changed...Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne.

Creating: Today I took the day off - not because work is busy - but because I just needed a break from the routine. I plan on being in the SB room all day. I tore up the San Diego 3Day last weekend and think I'll finish the Traveler's Notebook today. I'm trying to get as many 12X12s converted before I move - so I don't have to pack so many big 12X12 scrapbooks.

So that's it! These blogs are likely to become more boring than normal since I'm not actually doing anything. And guess what? I've got 4 more weeks of this. We're not going back to the office until the end of April!
