Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it.

Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments...

Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested!

Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get some work done on the house so while they were up on the roof, I was on ground duty. Anything they needed, they'd text and Id bring it to them. Important work for sure.

I scrounged for lunch and then did a quick ab workout on my app FitOn (its free for now!) and then packed up to head to Aldi.

Going out to confined public spaces stresses me out so much. People aren't cautious. they walk so close to me and I try to get away and get so much anxiety. Too. Many. People. Also being overly aware of how much I touch other surfaces or how much I touch my face is anxiety inducing. Its crazy how in a month I went from just living my life and hanging out to not wanting to leave my home and being on guard whenever I leave. I wonder how much longer this will last...

But I made it home and got most of what we needed including lots of delicious salad supplies for healthy meals!

Once home, it was shower time! I definitely didn't take a shower yesterday so It was necessary today. It felt so great to get clean and use my new shampoo bar. I am OBSESSED with those. I love how they foam up and leave my hair so clean! If you haven't made the switch yet, do it soon, you won't regret it. I was mad I didn't switch sooner!

Anyway, shower completed, organization of room commences. I recently found a FREE new dresser on the side of the road a couple weeks ago and finally put it together and now have to organize all the stuff that I have. Its nice and clean and organized now. Woot!

I started to take the sheets off the bed to wash them (cause Im finally clean, so should my sheets be) but the machine was being used so now I have to put the sheets back ON the bed... Oh well...

I just got back from a virtual walk with my mom and cracked open a cider and am going to get ready for bed. Tomorrow is a work day at the museum. Grateful I still have a job right now, even if its for just a few hours... Hasta Mañana!

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Longest Day Ever

This is the longest day of my life. Literally. No, like actually literally. Or maybe a bunch of the shortest days of my life...anyway... We started off in Wisconsin, not early but it wasn't leisurely either. Then the bus to the airport in Chicago where we were to catch our first flight to shanghai. When we checked in we were informed that we were given an illegal flight through china on our way back home. Apparently you can't even have a layover in an airport for longer than 24 hours in China. The airline was nice about it and helped us in anyway they could but they told us we would have to call our booking agency because it was their fault, not the airline itself. Good thing we gave ourselves plenty of time in the airport because we needed all of that time to figure it out. I called the company that gave us our tickets and the first thing the gentleman said was that we would have to pay a change fee on top of the price for the new ticket. I was not happy with that so I inquir...
