This is the first Saturday since the Crisis on Earth-Prime began where I feel that I actually accomplished stuff.
- I cut my own hair.
- I cleared out and recycled a lot of materials that had been sitting in my closet for about 30 years.
- I reorganized and stored a bunch of board games sitting around the living room.
- I organized my Battle Mechs into lances and printed up record sheets for them.
- I made more Porto’s stuff in the air fryer.
- I found a much more adorable Baby Yoda plush that the one waiting for me at the office.
And somewhere in between all this I watched The Andromeda Strain.
Overall I think this has been a rough time for everyone. Like everyone I seem to have good days and bad days. But I think I’ve learned how to mitigate the days.
And I saw something that was quoted by a couple of folks today:
You are not working from home. You are at home, in a crisis, trying to work.
Which is correct for me for 4 days out of the week. That fifth day in the office is working at work in a crisis. Which surprisingly is relaxing. It’s as close to ‘normal’ that I think I’ll ever see in the near future, despite the lack of coworkers and traffic and places to eat for lunch.
Hang in there, everyone. We’re in this together, for as long as it takes.
