April questions:
1. Do you do anything for Easter? We're not Christian so don't really celebrate it, but my DD was born on Easter 2009, so it's special to her even though of course the date is different every year. This year it was her birthday again, so I bought a bunch of plastic eggs, candy, and a few little toys and hid them. They were thrilled!
2. How is your life different because of COVID? I've always worked from home and DH is still working his normal schedule, so that's not different. I feel like things are different with my coworkers somehow. Maybe they're not used to being home so want to zoom or instant message more? I am also driving a LOT less since I don't have to take the kids anywhere.
3. How are your workouts different because of social distancing? I'm pretty much an introvert. I'd say I like seeing people but don't necessarily have to chat, so I miss my running friends and going to bootcamp or the gym! I am of course doing various video workouts and have set my own weekly schedule.
Vantreesta, I'm jealous of your snow! We saw it when we went north last month but only the last day so we didn't get to play. Is it strange having DH home?
Alison, I've been seeing your FB posts about all the things you'd planned and wondering how that stacks up against not having to commute. The bummer thing is all the canceled plans help break up the monotony of working all week. I DREAD Mondays like I can't tell you!
The CEO of Burn Bootcamp is live streaming workouts on Youtube M-S. They send out a link the night before to all members. I've been doing those, or sometimes the recorded workout from my local Burn. The local ones are at 7:30 which is too late, and the CEO does his at 6 AM.
Like I said, i dread work. I feel super productive but as though I need to do even more. There's been a ton of shifting of staff, new people hired, promotions, etc. None of it has to do with me. In fact, a person to supervise me will shortly be hired and I'm extra grumpy about that because at least on paper, I'm super qualified.
And my boss has been in the position just over a year now yet my small group hasn't really done anything. I can't really even figure out why.
I had Friday off work and went hiking, which was great. The first mile was annoying because there are a ton of newbies out there. The first group was blaring music (no headphones) and then there were mountain bikers who didn't seem to know how to use their gears or anything. After they all passed by, it got much better.
Ranting aside, can you imagine being a kid now? School canceled for the rest of the year would be a dream come true!
