Quarantine
I know we've been staying home for a few weeks now but I am an essential employee as I work in a lab that tests for COVID-19 but with my schedule this is the first full week that I've been at home. And at my parent's home at that... It's been rough. Luckily for me, I started the week with therapy by webcam and it went so well that I signed up for another session the next day. But also the first day we went over things to do to stay focused during quarantine. That includes keeping a routine and doing stuff that we wouldn't normally do. So I set up a schedule;
Wake up at 9
Work until 1 then make lunch
Chores until 6 when I make dinner
TV from 7-11
That worked great for Tuesday and Wednesday but by Thursday I was an hour late to everything. I think that is okay for now because when I'm at work I take my lunch at 2 and I really don't need to sleep from 11-9... But I'm concerned with keeping my schedule so that I don't totally hate going back to work. And as far as work goes, I mostly just play on my computer while sitting at my dad's desk. I take surveys where I earn money. I've made $10... so not much but it's something. Chores have ended up being mostly cooking but yesterday I hung my pictures up on my wall in my childhood bedroom. Ended up taking longer than I thought because my dad doesn't want me to put holes in the wall (even though I hung up posters in that room for 20 years.) Anyway, I ended up using command strips and they are not holding the way I would like them to. I had 3 things fall and one thing fell 4 times and broke but I fixed it. Today I decided to switch it up and I've been watching TV since 11. It's almost 2 now and I'll stick with my hour later lunch schedule and I will probably end up doing some cooking but then come right back down. But my deal with watching all the TV today is that I have to leave the house tomorrow.
I admit that I do not write this as I'm releasing it, in fact I'll be going back to work the day before this is posted.
