COVID Brain Part 3: Awesomeness
One of my favorite writers has been posting daily bits of Pandemic Awesomeness. Inspired, I’ve been working on my own list.
- Discovering that I DO have the motivation to exercise even though the gyms are closed
- Having fresh baked bread twice a week for the past 20 weeks – because there’s no place to go on the weekends!
- Naming our sourdough culture because we spend more time with it than actual people
- Getting to know our postal carrier’s entire life history because we are home every day when the mail arrives
- Never having to worry about forgetting my lunch at home
- Haven’t had to iron anything since… what’s an iron, again?
- Organizing five years of digital photos
- Dusting my shoes
- Sending a big donation to the food bank because I haven’t been buying that daily latte
- Having time to fold my underwear and match my socks
- No one knows if I spill coffee on my pants
- Corollary to above: Who cares what it looks like if it can’t be seen on video?!
- Playing with fun Virtual Backgrounds on Zoom
- Listening to my favorite artist’s new album – ten times in a row
- Finding an old box of Girl Scout cookies in the back of the freezer, and they’re still good!
And of course, if you’ve been following my adventures:
- Pond Mucking! This project would never have taken off if not for quarantine.
