The days are starting to run together. What day is it again? Oh, yeah, Thursday…is it March still?…the 26th…OK, got it. They days are starting to all look the same. The routine has become monotonous and stale.
Is it much different than previously? Well, a little. Typically I would be getting up, heading to work, doing work while interacting with co-workers, heading home after work, having some hang out time, then going to bed.
Now? Well, now it is get up, wander to the garage home office, work all day while seeing nearly no one (some virtual meetings), wander back up the steps from the garage into the house for some hang out time, and then bed.
Notice the difference? People. Socialization. The out of doors (even if only from car to building/building to car). The key component here is I miss people…even though people, in general, piss me off and I dislike them. I know, I am “mystery, wrapped in a riddle, inside an enigma.” I can’t explain it. Maybe it is only certain people I miss. OK, YES, for sure it is that. There are certain people I miss – way more than most!
Anyway, what are you doing to keep the days feeling like they are on repeat? How are you keeping track of the days? What has been your favorite thing to do since being confined to “life in a bubble”?

I try to spend some time outside, in the yard…when it isn’t raining. I’m trying to pay attention to the wildflowers, the clouds, the trees… I’ve been walking around in the yard, barefoot, to ground and reconnect. It helps.

Good job and thanks for sharing some insight on what you are doing.
The yard and more outside time is definitely something I need to do. I am in the PNW, so the rain is a bit of deterrent on getting yard work done but it shouldn’t keep me from at last going for a walk. I just like the convenience of the excuse. LOL

I know this…our bodies were designed to connect with Earth. We need the positive/negative charge balance. If we don’t actually touch Earth, wearing insulated rubber-soled shoes all the time, it can affect our health.

Ewww….I have a hard time going barefoot outdoors. I just don’t like the feeling on my feet. LOL

Wearing leather-bottomed shoes work, shoes with copper rivets and, if concrete is poured directly on the Earth, that works, too:
