So…because it’s a bit more light hearted than the other threads and also because in the future this is going to be very interesting I’m going to ask for people to describe their plans for Sunday
You can post your plans for tomorrow and if you want come back and say what you really did.
Here are my plans
*Laundry
*An hour or so of work on a legal brief I’m writing
*Virtual Walk with my best friend ( on phone while on treadmill)
Watch the movie “ Bombshell”
*Chicken thigh sheet pan dinner with potatoes
*Obsess over the “ Coronavirus in the US” thread.
*Read NYT, WaPo etc…
*NO leaving the house
BTW no kids at home right now. One daughter a nurse in another city. Other daughter an engineer on work from home in a different city
Edited date out of title since we are well beyond that day
ED
Church via live stream, maybe a small grocery store run for few of Ds favorites (spring break - uncertain how long she will be here). Would love to hang on back porch because weather is nice but pollen is ghastly and makes me feel awful. So walks outside mostly out unless we get some rain. Small group Bible study will still meet.
Taking waffle making supplies to son’s apt and making breakfast instead of going out for his birthday.
Going for a walk with a friend.
Continue getting house ready for painting.
Hope they institute teleworking for my job.
Laundry
Clean House
Jazz & Classical Playlists
Watch the rain
Netflix Binge - Containment
Enjoy a lobster dinner
Take a long bath
Read - The Backyard Homestead
Continue to be annoyed that I work for a company advising all permanent employees to work remotely while contractors weren’t given the option or even email notice.
Remain thankful, things could always be worse.
Today:
We all slept in very late. B-fast, showers, and getting dressed wasn’t done till almost 11:00!!
Laundry. Everything is clean but not folded so that’ll be first tomorrow.
Little S’s bedroom cleaned, dusted, vacuumed, and toys donated/stored in attic. His desk was then moved into his bedroom.
Then we went for a family hike at the lake. Only came across two other small groups coming the opposite direction.
Dh grilled marinated pork chops for dinner. Everyone inhaled them after the long walk!
Tomorrow:
Fold laundry and put it away.
Get some propane for the grill.
Make some phone calls about getting a contractor to measure for blinds in the new house.
I’d really like some help curating the books in my library and Little S’s room. S19 is fantastic at this!!
Lots of vegging out online and reading
Kids will probably take frisbee up to empty field.
Dinner- roast turkey, stuffing, glazed carrots
Watch Frozen 2 on Disney+ as a family
Wake up really late.
Enjoy coffee.
Feed and watch the birds outside the kitchen windows.
Sort and pitch more kids’ school papers from basement file cabinets.
Watch a movie while sorting.
All the usual caregiver duties.
Get drawn in by the ever-multiplying number of COVID-19 threads here.
Watch Hulu to push away anxiety after reading ^^above.
Message/tex/chat with at least one of three kids.
Bake something or make pancakes or waffles.
We are heading to a city about 75 minutes away to get a 2nd opinion on a surgery for our dog. If we don’t change our mind we will go to a deli nearby for a late lunch and to buy a few things to bring home.
I will go to work on Sunday. Job processes have been altered to limit the number of people who will be in close contact. It will be interesting to see if we shut down entirely soon.
Tidy up house
Do some work to prepare for now-virtual board meeting on Monday
Pay bills
Do yoga or walk dog
Possibly run out for milk (S eats and drinks so much, hard to keep pantry stocked!)
Cleaning house in preparation for my D to come home from college tomorrow, sadly.
Obsessing about whether or not my mom on the opposite coast can get flipping toilet paper and seeing if I can find a suitable container to send her some homemade hand sanitizer.
Calling my Dad for his birthday tomorrow.
Getting rid of the piles of papers, bills, etc… that seem to lurk in the corners of the countertop.
Spraying weeds on my gravel driveway. They are all coming early.
Attempting to give my cat subcutaneous fluid on my own. Last attempt didn’t go well, so I’m feeling nervous of my cat, haha.
Spending too much time on Facebook looking at all the posts about…the C word.
-take my temperature
-have very strong coffee to mitigate my sleepless night
-laundry
-take temp again
-binge watch Chicago PD or Law and Order
-Have dinner
-Take temp again to make sure I’m not dying
-Drink wine
-Hopefully sleep better than night before
Work out. Go to a (very small) baby shower. Maybe take the dog for a walk if the weather holds out. Eventually figuring out when to meet up with the sister in law as my future father in law will likely end up admitted to the hospital tonight and we have her son overnight. (they are high school age boys so its lots of music, guitar playing and computer gaming).
Eat breakfast, have coffee & catch up on CC and FB
Long run in the woods/shower
Grocery store to finish buying food for (hopefully) the week
Read my book
Proofread S19’s paper which is due in a few days
Laundry
2nd dog walk
Make dinner for the family
Drive D21 to a friend’s house so they can watch a movie and make a gift for a friend whose parents won’t let her leave the house for the next three weeks because of the virus (!!)
Watching CNN special coverage - it’s really informative
Pick D21 up and head to bed…
So, didn’t exactly practice social distancing the whole day but not too bad. S19 is at a birthday “party” with just four high school friends. He swears they won’t get too close and will wash their hands like crazy
