"WDYDWIQ" ~ What Did you Do While in QUARANTINE??

[Zphal]

Day 21: Yesterday was alright. Got a lot done on my SEMI project. In the morning I went out to Sprouts to get fresh produce. Did it "Wild West" style, by wearing a bandana on my face and a cowboy hat. Kinda hilarious when she asked for ID for the alcohol purchase because she could barely see my face but whatever.

Went out for a walk midday to enjoy the sunshine. Knocked off on the project around 5:30pm to play videogames with my brother. We shot a lot of zombies. Made dinner (breaded chicken over spaghetti with white sauce and mushrooms). Neil finally got home around 10:15pm and we enjoyed each others' company until bed.

Day 22: Yesterday was all about working on my research paper, working on it more, and working on it more. I made a lot of progress. It's up to 23 pages, and I'm nearly done with part 1 of 3. The first part is due in a week, so I've still got time. I think I'm probably working harder on it than I "need" to to get the grade I want (an A) and that I'm probably working harder than any of my other classmates are bothering. But at the same time, this is the capstone class of the entire MBA program and my final paper/project, so I feel it deserves serious attention, rather than most people's propensity to just "coast" and do "good enough."

Thankfully I did get to game with my brother last night as a reward and relaxation thing. Watched a couple more eps of the Tiger King too, cuz I had to jump on board that train. rofl

Day 23: I knew yesterday was gonna be kinda lame and it was and that's that. I had my presentation and midterm coming up later that night at 6PM, so I had to study. I also finally managed to complete part 1 of my research paper, so I was able to take some talking points and write those down to share for the presentation part of the evening.

Took a break around lunch to eat and watch the Tiger King (only one episode left!), then went back to it. A friend ended up coming by to drop something off with me; didn't invite them inside and we chat for about an hour outside more than six feet apart. He insists he's "already had coronavirus" but rolleyes I think it's in his head. But otherwise the visit was enjoyable, if awkward.

Went first with my presentation and tried to have a little fun with it doing a show-and-tell demo of my Atari 2600. Then listened to other peoples' before beginning the midterm at 8PM. Had to turn it in by midnight. It was a long test.

Hm... let's see. If day one was the 17th, I guess that'd make today the 20th?

DAY 20: Stayed in the entire day. Had a lot of videos to create and upload to YouTube for my mom. Wanted to make sure she had enough material for her CHEM10 students to lecture them for the week before I started other tasks.

It was rainy and my hips have been bothering me, so I actually didn't run today. I need to get back to it though because I overate a lot on the camping trip, so now my weight is back up to 120lbs. :

I tossed a lot of rotting food out of the fridge, because the in-laws haven't been at this domicile since all this nonsense began and their stuff was going bad. I guess maybe I'll try going to Sprouts tomorrow... I would like some fresh fruit and vegetables. I was going to try Amazon Fresh for the first time, but they didn't have any delivery timeslots for the entire month. So that's... lame.

Neil is on an overnight route so he's in a hotel tonight. Probably means I'll stay up pretty late doing whatever, ha.

Yeah, I've heard from a lot of my Facebook friends that the fresh food delivery services - and even the fresh food subscription things - are really busy right now. Some are a bit disgruntled about it because their regular ongoing orders are being pushed back a week or so because of the delay of stock and what not.

Yeah, my mom has a subscription of Fiji Water through Amazon that recurs every two weeks, but they left her high and dry for over 6 weeks. @_@ The bummer there is that she finds the minerals in it help a lot with the arthritis in her hands. gonk

I've been trying to resist watching it myself. I've got other shows and films I've been wanting to watch for some time... and I really don't need to add another series to my long list of things on Netflix. xd

It goes by pretty fast only being 7 eps (well, I guess 8 soon? xd ). I watched it through once, but now I'm re-watching it since my partner got curious. rofl

I don't really keep track of days. Mostly, I've had to work 4-hour days, but I've had to work hard for those days. I've been wearing a mask to stay safe. I've taken to waking up early in the morning to get dressed and play Animal Crossing before work, but lately I've also been addicted to Show by Rock (hence the avatar). I really really want that Cyan Nendoroid for the adorable cat girl version of Cyan shown in the end credits of season one. I wish there was a keychain version of the figure so I could clip her to the top strap of my backpack purse with my other gaming and anime clippies. **sighs**

I miss shopping, mostly at Goodwill, but Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Teen Challenge too. I love thrift shopping! I was once lucky enough to pick up the entirety of the Blackbird manga for twenty dollars and much of my library is owed to Goodwill's ever-changing stock.

Everything on Amazon takes a month to even ship now and it's kinda irritating, cause we already can't go out. I understand why and comply to keep people safe, but I really hope this virus and quarantine don't last too much longer. We're starting to lose our sanity... and Peta is going on an all-out power trip that puts our food industry at risk of collapse. sweatdrop

Days 24, 25, & 26: Well, I didn't update over the weekend, I guess because I was busy hanging out with my partner and enjoying some time together. I even got him gaming with my brother and I killing zombies in L4D2! He has terrible situational awareness IRL and it translates in-game, creating some hilarity while playing when things go awry. rofl

Last night though my brother and I switched over to a multiplayer game of Dungeon of the Endless. Forgot how much I enjoyed that particular game. And I still have a few cheevos to get! So it may be my new addiction for awhile. It was like seven hours of gameplay, which is more in a sitting than I've done in awhile. Also started the third season of Ozark. 3nodding

My easter photos finally came in the mail yesterday, so I was able to get them ready to ship out. Though I found out I didn't have envelopes?? I thought I remembered buying a bunch, but I can't find them anywhere. So rather than take another trip to the store (I'd gone early to buy discounted Easter candy), I found an old notebook and used lined paper to create envelopes. xd Also put in an online order for more stamps since my stock is running low.

eek That sounds bad.

Sounds like that b***h, Carol Baskin, is at it again.

I was wrong. Turns out Smithfield had a bunch of their employees test positive for Coronavirus, so that's why they had to shut down. Still. Seems awfully convenient for these groups like Peta and ASPCA that have been fighting farmers so they can force veganism for years instead of spending their money on actually helping animals.
