Day 16 of Governor Newsom’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy”

I did nothing today…pretty disappointing.

Saturday. 9/12/20.

9:00 - 9:15 - I’m late for the dog and go downstairs to take her outside. No accidents and she poops and pees outside. Cheese.

9:15 - 10:30 - Back upstairs and I lay in bed for over an hour, dozing off and on. I had big plans for knocking out several recorded lectures today, but I. don’t. want. to. do. anything.

L. leaves for R.’s house.

10:30-12:30 - I get my coffee and read Schuyler’s Monster upstairs, then I go downstairs and read internet news, while I eat a donut. Half the day is gone and I’ve done absolutely nothing. I’m not sure if I can salvage the day, but do I really care? I like reading internet news and haven’t had much time lately. I wash our old comforter and change two light bulbs - one in L.’s bathroom and one in my bathroom. I download a You Tube video so I can finally roll up my ‘beach blanket briefcase’ correctly, then go outside and clean out my fountain - several leaves were stuck in the filter.

12:30-1:30 - Shower. Covid-19 uniform. No make-up. I listen to PBS Newshour segments and Market Place. I semi-straighten my bathroom.

1:30-2:30 - I read Money Diaries.

3:45-4:45 - I do a 1-hr HIIT full body circuit app with 5 pound weights. I start a load of towels.

4:45-6:00 - I make a salad - spinach, egg, tomatoes, yellow squash - and read Schuyler’s Monster. I straighten the kitchen and listen to Today Explained. Then, I have a few bites of Ben and Jerry’s Fish Food.

7:00-8:30 - I grab the ladder and train my vines through the trellis fastened to my patio wall outside. Since I have the ladder out, I trim branches from several trees and sweep a few sections of the patio. I listen to New York Politics and More and Up First.

L. leaves for Door Dash - Her friend, N., is in tow.

8:30-9:30 - To Whole Foods for marshmallows for S’mores for when we camp out in B.’s backyard; a green pepper; and champagne since Wine.com didn’t come. I cave and buy some sushi for dinner. I listen to Vox’s The Weeds while I shop.

L. returns from Door Dash.

9:30-10:00 - I eat my sushi, have champagne, and read Schuyler’s Monster.

10:00 - 12:00 - I prepare the lecture for Specialty Class No. 1, to include selecting the musical clips that I utilize throughout the PP slides. I tighten up the lecture and formulate my PP slides, then lay everything out for tomorrow, when I record the Audio lecture.

12:00-1:00 - I’m afraid that the mushrooms L. bought a week ago are going to turn so I saute them - then I straighten the kitchen. While the mushrooms are cooking, I dust my entire home office.

1:00-2:00 - Night time routine. I lay out my clothes for tomorrow and make sure my bike bag has the requisite items: snacks, mask, Purell, house key, air pods, a few paper towels, credit card, etc.
