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.

Baby is real

I think I felt the baby move. It was very trippy. But very cool as well. We also found out recently that it's a girl. I'm having a baby girl. Now that I'm showing and feeling it and can shop for it, it all seems more real. This isn't going to be a long post because there isn't a lot to say. I'm really not doing much but growing a human is enough for me I guess. So we've started shopping. We have a crib, a bassinet and some artwork for the nursery. Also we just have a bunch of cute clothes. Not anything real big although she's going to be born in winter. The next step is a carseat stroller combo. Any suggestions? Basically I want just a bunch of black or grey onsies for her easy clothes and then sweats and leggings to wear over them.

Oregon

This was an adventure in a weird way. It was supposed to just be me hanging out with my brother and getting him out to explore the place that he's lived in for 6 months. It kind of worked... However I flew into Portland and he lives in Medford... That's a 4 hour drive. He told me that he would pick me up and I convinced him to spend the night before I left to come back in Portland. Also since Dylan took the whole time I was there off I asked if we could drive out to the coast and see the ocean. It was not a short drive. So basically Dylan drove the 4 hours to Portland picked me up and we drove back and it took us about 10 hours to get home. But Oregon is so pretty! I've been lucky to not drive myself but to spend a lot of time in the car just exploring. The next day we were going to go hiking but we ended up just watching TV (sleeping through 11 episode of a TV show.) We must have needed it though because we were both in and out of conciousness. I really felt like I had a g...

Buffy 4

Remember when I was only watching Buffy and I was like I think I'll go through this show too fast so be ready... Well here's the next installment. I watched this a lot slower because I pretty much stopped watching TV... I know! But the fourth season of Buffy was just as good as the others even without Angel. Pretty quickly we meet Riley who is obviously only there to be with Buffy. He's also very attractive in a very different way. Riley has that QB look over that dark and broody look. But Riley isn't as innocent as he seems... It turns out that Riley is living a double life and soon drags Buffy into it. This season has of course; Buffy, Willow, and Xander but also we see a little of Giles, Oz, Spike, and Xander's new girlfriend Anya. But it's still very different than the other seasons. Buffy seems a lot more on her own. Everyone kind of has their own thing going on and it made it not as fun to watch. No offense to the individual characters but I wat...
