Day 5: Still No Toilet Paper Anywhere
Today is another snowy, cold day. But at least I am lucky enough to wake up to a warm breakfast! My man makes the best scrambled eggs on EARTH. I am telling you, they are life-changing eggs! They’re so good, I’ll share his secret with you… hehehe… He adds cream cheese half way through which creates this decadent texture. He then scrambles them a little more and adds some shredded cheese- not too much- and then he tops them with chives. Mmmm! So. Good.
After breakfast we dive deep into a game of Phase 10 which, by the way, if you’re looking for ways to kill 100’s of hours, is it. Super tedious. very long, creates enemies, you know that kind of game. We can’t even muster up the strength to finish the game in one sitting! Which is fine with me because despite it being only 25 degrees outside; I really want to go take some pictures! Which I do until my fingers go numb- approximately 23 minutes.
Today just feels kind of hard. It feels like I’m in a haze. I take my photos, I do yoga, I socialize, I clean… But I’m feeling clouded. The fun vacation portion of this eight week shut-down is starting to fade. I want to stay positive, I want to be productive, but there is a lot on my mind. To be completely transparent, I don’t know what my fate will be when this is all over. I had just started a new job, I was three training shifts in! I had put my official two weeks notice in at my current job 8 days prior to the shut-down. Will I have a job at either place?
Will either restaurant be able to stay open through all of this? I wish I had the answers. It’s fun to have play time, and catch up on movies and TV, to be with my pets as much as I have, and to make cookies, and all the stuff we do at home! Of course! But my rent still has to be paid, yet I can’t go outside and make money. I read an article today about a 39 year old woman in the U.K. diagnosed with COVID-19 in the ICU who claims that the feeling is that of having glass in her lungs, and she wished it upon no one. It’s just so sad that the world is on pause, but people still want their money.
In lighter news! White Claw has released their new flavors: Tangerine, Lemon, & Watermelon (4th in pack is Mango)! Mali brought some home after visiting her Father and they are delicious! If you can get out, I recommend these for a lil pick-me-up!
Photos to come tomorrow: had some tech difficulties :(
