I can not stress enough the importance of ordinary, everyday people keeping a written record of things like this. This pandemic will be taught in schools in the future. Don’t let what the rich and powerful are doing be the only narrative.
Day 1 of isolation
I’m binge-watching The Witcher (finally) and eating an entire loaf of French bread.
Day 2 of isolation
I’m taking turns between hanging out with various family members. I might settle in and watch my weekly Netflix movie later. (I have a DVD plan.) But if I do I’ll invite at least Sammy and Iris to watch with me.
Day 3 of isolation
Pokestops, raids, and gyms from the car. Determined to finish the 3rd and final installment of a series I’ve been working on slowly but surely.
Day 4 of isolation
Quit pokemon go.
Contemplate divorce.
Day 5 of isolation
Lay groundwork and terms for solving the marriage issues
Get handed an old 3DS (thank you Iris) and a copy of AC New Leaf
Day 6 of isolation
Turns out the family is the perfect size for a family DnD game even if the 16yo won’t play with us.
Day 7 of isolation
Learned how to fish in Animal Crossing New Leaf. Accomplished nothing else today. Nothing else needed accomplishing.
Day 8 of isolation
My nails needed work and I had a Netflix DVD that needed watched and returned. I usually pair these tasks up.
More DnD tonight with the family.
Also when time is meaningless it’s easy to completely miss Sunday roast so we made up for that tonight.
Day 9 of isolation
20% done with The Magnus Archives. Reading it, not listening to it. Cuz ADHD is a bitch.
The amount of time I’m spending in quarantine has been extended. I was originally planning to be back the 7th but things are getting worse, not better. My work is still open as we are essential, but I’m high risk so I am on leave with their support and understanding.
Day 10 of isolation
The main goal of the day was catching a Tuna in New Leaf for a quest. It took almost 4 hours and 5 pockets full of fish, but I accomplished my goal and made a killing in fish sales.
DnD tonight I think. The 16yo is finally joining us. He decided there was literally nothing better to do and we need a healer.
Day 11 of isolation
Listen. I love my children very much, but it’s been 11 days and there is no end in sight.
Shipment of fidget toys was brought into the house today. More to come. Should help with both homeschooling and family DnD.
Day 12 of isolation
Much the same only with added regrets of saying the H-word on tumblr. Can’t even blame the usual culprits.
I started a new novel. This one is a period romance. Fast and easy read. I’ll draw it out over a few evenings. Or I won’t.
