Today is Saturday, April 18th 2020
Our eyes opened up to the weekend, a little after 07:00. Rolling over, I snuggling further into the bed sheets I didn't want to climb out of yet. The weekends probably don't mean as much if you've been laid of or in self-isolation but it's only day 2 for us. Hello.
I closed my eyes and fell back asleep for another 45 minutes or so.
The phone ringing woke me up.
'Home' it said on my screen and I knew my Mom would phone again in the next 10 minutes if I didn't pick up. Good Morning.
She's asking how we are feeling. Do we have symptoms developing?
If anyone asks I've been saying "I'm OK." But I'm only saying this to help myself believe it. It's what we do to protect ourselves maybe. She tells me to have a coffee and we'll talk later. Click.
I am feeling well enough to cook meals, think straight, smoke a joint, write here, and work on a Thomas Kinkade designed Beauty and the Beast puzzle. I only started the 500-piece distraction yesterday but I think I'll have it completed by Sunday evening. If I do I'll share a picture in tomorrow's update.
After coffee we agreed it was a day to have French Toast for breakfast.
Crack 3 eggs
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract
A sprinkle of brown sugar
Can I have some milk?
Nope! Smells weird.
Whisk it up
Turn on the stove
Add butter to the pan
Soak 4 slices of whole wheat toast
Fry them until they're golden brown
Add 'Milk' to the grocery list on the fridge
I have a meeting in a little over an hour. It's because I'm on the condominium board for my townhouse. Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) should take place next month and my guess is we'll have to send a link to owners for a Zoom meeting, or something similar.
Yesterday I realized I have an opportunity to work smarter now while I work-from-home.
People (meaning clients) have more time on their hands. Especially on the weekends; which were normally reserved for going out and plans. If their business is non-essential they'll be stressing out about how they will pay their rent or other bills. If they already work-from-home, as in their business is a home-business, maybe they have to rework the business strategy. Some of them might be wondering how they will come out of this still a business-owner. It's not about if, it's about WHEN - when we come out of this, we will be battered and blue but not broken.
We must continue practicing social-distancing in public. And paying attention to the world, our health, and the well-being of our families.
Thank you for the opportunity to protect and scribe.
Until tomorrow.
