Day 27: Late, Early, Whatever

Posted on 04/09/2020 by chick
  • Without the kids’ school schedule to anchor us, my husband and I are drifting back to our normal night-owl hours, late to bed and late to rise. I like staying up late. I do not like that my workday is being shifted into the evening. But, having heard stories about unusual numbers of New Yorkers dying in their sleep, a phenomenon perhaps attributable to COVID-19, I have to look at our late waking time as “better late than never.” Whatever time I wake, I will be grateful to be alive.
  • I’m way ahead of schedule on my work project. It’s 95% done, and I’ve run out of work to do on it (some pieces come from other departments, and I am still waiting for those). Assuming I remain healthy, tomorrow will be the beginning of my 3-4 weeks of working on anything I please. I am looking forward to it.
  • Now that the kids are home all day every day, they make an awful lot of dishes. We keep running out of clean bowls. But they make less laundry. That evens things out somewhat.
  • There was a thunderstorm here today. Just when we thought it was over, a house-jolting crack of thunder directly overhead scared the bejesus out of all of us. I was looking at a picture of fireworks at that very moment, which was sort of funny. It was a picture from the Cuteness Store, which is the art store that Livia and Marshall run when they’re in the mood to make some cash. Our household economy is still going strong, and I bought two pictures for a total of $2.25. Rumor has it that some rich guy downstairs bought over $7 worth of art!
