Sex eating working house jobs cleaning exercise and finally a film then bed... I’m exhausted

Leg End Reject · 07-04-2020 08:54PM

Some work stuff, then major spring clean and declutter.

It helps to keep busy.

Masturbation and golf although there’s not much call for golf where I live !

I'm lucky I can keep working from 8.30 - 5. cook dinner, long walk, time with 4 kids and a bit of house work till 10.

there are no go to's, 'cept to bed at 11 and start all over again. looking forward to a nice long weekend though - we're off for good friday and it's not out of our holidays.

entertainment is an hour of a series a night, if we don't fall asleep half way thru

My housemates just sit on their arse and drink.

Working from home, tv series, films, computer games, long walks with Audiobooks, indoor workouts, creative writing and boards/reddit/youtube. Cant socialise but theirs still not enough hours in the day to do all the things I want, the weekend still disappears too quickly.

Work from home....it's something reasonably enjoyable and passes 8 hours.

Walk dog twice...sometimes 3 times a day.

Play basketball and go for bike rides with my kid. Computer games as well.

TV and books and music and podcasts.

My son is home from college and my wife is off work due to the Pandemic. I am still doing my job as I was before the crisis, I get to leave to the house everyday. Roads are nice and quiet, although it's only a 22km commute. Selfish but I like my wife and son being home and living rurally is a major plus at the moment.

Ain't got no time for commas.

Drinking beer, admiring myself, organising rooms, eating, bit of work in between, watching stories, reading stories, chatting with some people, eating, keeping an eye on the daddy, doing lots of mental health related workbook things, eating, planning on what I'll do when this is over, working on self compassion, eating.

What a time to be alive.

bottlebrush · 07-04-2020 10:17PM

I just drove my car down the road a small bit, parked up and went for a walk
When I came back the car wouldnt start so I killed a few hours hanging around waiting for someone to come along and jump start it. All done within physical distancing guidelines if course.

I'm finding this lockdown this rather difficult to be honest. I've never found the idea of working from home all that appealing, and my usually legendary productivity has taken a hit as a result. It reached a 'rock bottom' for me last Thursday when I spent the day working from home while wearing runners, pyjamas bottoms, and an easy-iron shirt. It got so bad that I even started reading the comments part of a Journal.ie article.

This couldn't continue, so I sat down on Sunday afternoon and spent an hour working out a plan for how to deal with this extraordinary situation we all find ourselves in. My new routine is already bedded in, and starting to deliver positive results.

I won't bore you with all of it, but I practice meditation for 20 minutes 3 times a day. Upon waking; mindful eating at lunch, a loving kindness meditation at 8PM. I use the sauna twice per day, and am also glad of having invested in a Peloton bike when they launched in Germany. I've rediscovered my love of rustic French cooking, and look forward to the time I spend in the kitchen preparing the sort of food that you'd find in a small bistro in Lyon.

Apart from that, I'm using a wonderful app called Blinkist. It takes books (mostly, but not exclusively, about personal development, business, and current affairs), and distils them down into 15 minute vignettes.

Tough times. Hope everyone is ok.

I love the idea of rustic French cooking.:) Something I'd love to be doing. Can I ask where you're getting the recipes?

citysights · 07-04-2020 10:32PM

Cooking, tried out some new recipes, and they turned out well. They’ll be regulars now in my cook book. Big shout out to Kevin Dundon, never made any of his stuff before but good results now. For me cooking helps to pass the time, Kids get involved and the result is something nice to eat.

Feisar · 07-04-2020 10:38PM

9 month old plus trying to squeeze in some work in between.

I’m working from home.
That entails 5% workload and 100% pay.

I’m doing lots of gardening and activities with the kids.

Mulbert · 07-04-2020 10:45PM

I have trained my whole life for this situation. I work, go to the shop, go for a walk, then sit on my hole and do nothing. Easy.

You can of course. I subscribe to https://www.saveur.com/, as they have access to generations of old cook books.

However I've also followed the videos on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0lG3Ihe4LGV851lODRIS5g

Arghus · 07-04-2020 11:00PM

I'm still working, out in the wonderful germ filled outside world - I'd rather not be to be perfectly honest. I deeply envy people who can stay inside right now. I really hope that I don't contract this, but I figure it's more probable than possible as the weeks go on. Like I say if you're WFH at the moment, you are a comparatively very lucky and privileged individual.

I don't really see how boredom should be an issue for people. People have more entertainment on tap than ever before.

Thanks so much. I love cooking and was looking for some new ideas for Easter.Anything that might relieve the monotony and give a bit of novelty is to be welcomed. So am looking forward to trying that out.:)

I've just realized I'm reading AVB's posts in Dr Evils voice, which is quite entertaining.

I await details of his breathtakingly shorn scrotum with bated breath.
