For a few weeks now, it seems, I've switched to quarantining at home! I am sooo scared of going outside that my only in-the-world interactions were driving Jan to pick up food/other things. I went for a walk 2x since quarantining in mid-March. I literally can't believe it's only been a little more than 2 months of this...feels like much longer.

I am enjoying my retreat at home; hearing the birds chirp in the morning; sitting by the window; eating less and healthier; listening to my mom go on and on and on about...who knows what...movies and books and coworkers and such. I have lots of me time! Yet, the hours still pass by so quickly. I want enough time to feel like I had enough sleep, or the feeling of falling asleep again if I want, and time to sip my coffee before it gets too late in the day,  and time to enjoy snackies before actual meal times, and time for phone and TV, and time to be productive. I only did yard work once and it was back-breaking work, don't know how people do this for a living.

Ever since my salary got cut, I am less urgent with work, but I still work 8+ hours a day and still on weekends. :( Striking a work-life balance is so challenging!!

What if I become a hermit forever?

quarantine, mom, work
