Sit down and figure out how I am stopping the launch of a new product that was due to go “live” in 2 weeks. It is a big deal (for me) but i don’t think I’m upset. So far it seems like a case of pausing everything, and when things return to normal, whenever that is, we’ll have a ready to execute plan to implement. But stopping means not paying anyone who was working on the launch (we have no employees, but do have a pr consultant etc).
Go for a walk with my dog on our farm.
Check the CC coronavirus thread periodically.
Vow not to be online so much (but probably fail to curb my reading)

swim in outdoor pool when it is empty later in the day? not sure about this; the pool is not a risk, but passing thru the gym to get to the pool is
@emilybee - We found this. It looks like you can “add friends” to your table - we are still trying to figure it out. Certainly not like playing live, but seems like a good substitute. Would be interested if anybody finds any others.
Right now listening to NPR with coffee and breakfast. Took puppy for a long walk already, will be walking more throughout the day. Pup is great for de-stressing.
Netflix this evening
Nap
Maybe open some wine later

Came across this documentary / vignette on the NBA (ESPN) last night. 62 15 minute stories about different eras. Watched about 10 of them. Great memories of my childhood. (I still say if Bill Walton didn’t have chronic foot problems, he would have been one of the best ,if not best, complete player of all time.
Today will be:
go for a long walk
do a little reading
family dinner
find something interesting on TV
Tomorrow will be work from home
Watch the markets
get in a good workout
Brief trip to grocery. I need bleach to do some laundry! I know…they probably won’t have it. If not, I’ll get ice cream.
Come home. And relax. I have a bunch of borrowed books to read!
I have a recertification class on Wednesday morning…probably less than 20 people. Waiting to see if that is happening. Need to do some review just in case.
I deep-cleaned the dishwasher with vinegar and baking soda, and right now it’s running empty on the sani-wash cycle (whatever that is) to get rid of all the remaining black sludge that accumulates. I realize that the next time I buy a dishwasher, one important criterion will be how easy it is to clean.
My usual Sunday ritual - sleep in (for me that’s 7:30), coffee and papers (WaPo and NYT).
Logged on to service at my church (the Episcopal churches here are closed for the next 2 weeks-may be extended). H was also logged on and following. Took communion with white wine (red not opened) and cookies (our Rector even suggested that).
Ironed (no excuse not to…)
Plans for the rest of the day:
Take a walk when the weather gets a bit better.
Plan/cook a healthy dinner.
Inventory/restock my Little Free Library.
Check in with friends. (have already checked in with a few)
Text my boss and let him know that this 62 y.o. woman who had pneumonia in 2016 will be working from home.
Read, maybe watch TV.
Make a donation to help local people in need.
Yesterday I spent the whole day on the couch binging the whole first season of Britain’s Best Home Cook on Hulu. Highly recommend it for a cozy day in. Then made pizza and we all watched Throw Mama From the Train.
Today
Finished reading a book
Watch church’s live stream
Will vacuum and get some laundry done
Probably make some banana bread since I have a bunch of bananas going black
Possibly a hike with the family and our dog, if the rain stops
@emilybee@Cheeringsection my trainer at the gym recommended Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. I haven’t tried it yet but from a glance it looks like she has a lot of videos.
Read WaPo & do crossword puzzles
Laundry
Short walk to mail something
Try to finish our taxes (after spending 2 hrs on the phone with Turbotax on Fri)
Stay informed, but avoid stressing about it (LOL)
Find something to watch on TV, Amazon Prime (I miss college basketball)
Husband and 30 y.o. kid on phone now, comparing measures being taken at their respective workplaces. Kid socializing online only. (He’s in Boston area, we’re kind of rural a couple hours outside the city.)
It will be a usual quiet Sunday for me and DH. We’ll eat a late breakfast soon, read the L.A. Times, and FaceTime with our kids this afternoon. DD is a senior at UCLA and DS works at Google and lives in the Bay area. He’s now working from home. I’m anxious to see how they’re both coping with this whole thing. I’ll probably also read my book and work on the Sunday crossword. And we’ll probably watch some TV later.
