Reading: I really enjoyed this NYT article, "Stop Trying to be Productive." It's a 2-min read, and it basically just says that we're already stressed out- there's no need to fill every nano-second trying to achieve something. It's okay if all you're doing is getting through the day; it doesn't mean you've failed or should give up hope. Give yourself some grace and a break.
Also reading Normal People by Sally Rooney. I'm about halfway through but I don't really "feel" any particular way about it, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Listening To: Level Of Concern- Twenty One Pilots
Have you guys heard this one yet?! I had the radio on the other day for background noise but the word "quarantine" caught my attention...
"Panic on the brain, world has gone insane
Things are starting to get heavy, mm
I can't help but think I haven't felt this way
Since I asked you to go steady
Things are starting to get heavy, mm
I can't help but think I haven't felt this way
Since I asked you to go steady
Wonderin', would you be, my little quarantine?
Or is this the way it ends?"
Watching: Or is this the way it ends?"
Finished up Married At First Sight,... and the reunion episode. WOW! Talk about drama! And of course now I'm looking forward to the Australian one coming to the U.S. later this month... eep!
Binged Little Fires Everywhere- did you guys see it? I need to discuss!
Also looking forward to to Season 2 of Dead To Me coming back this week!
Making: Tacos! The Mountain Mamas are having a small Cinco de Mayo parking lot gathering tonight... staying 6 ft apart, of course.
Missing: I miss not fearing going to stores or socializing. I miss seeing smiles instead of masks. Or being able to turn on the TV without anxiety that some "breaking news" is going to come through.
Learning: to create a new routine. I got word from work that we'll be working remotely through "sometime in June." I'd rather be safe than sorry so I'm okay with that, but it means that getting into a routine now will serve me better later.
Loving: Taking vacation time! I mean, I'm not going anywhere, but I have to take 9 days between now and June 30th otherwise I lose them. I usually unplug on weekends, but I'm excited to have a few more days to do that... and I'm not going to even try to say "I'm going to do x, y, and z" on those days!
How are you doing currently?
Linking up with Anne!
