Day 5 - Governor Newsom rescinds restrictions - Outdoor dining reinstated!

Wii bowling…my avatar…

1/29/21. Friday.

6:30 – I wake up but go back to sleep.

8:30 – Awake again, but listen to The Daily and fall back asleep.

9:30 – 10:30 - Finally awake, and I go downstairs to say good morning to the dog. She’s awake and waiting for me, tail wagging. She grabs her toy and we go outside – she goes potty fairly quickly – then back inside.  Cheese for her and coffee for me.

-I clean the downstairs bathroom, then return upstairs and clean my bathroom, to include both toilets.

-I start a load of laundry.

10:30-11:15 – I read Dancing.

11:15 – 11:45 – I straighten my room. Wash face. Brush teeth. Dressed in Covid-19 uniform. Light make-up.

12:00 – 2:00 - B. arrives.  It’s been raining for days and there is nothing to do so I come with the idea of Wii tennis and bowling. L. sets up the game system and provides an excellent tutorial.  B. and I play Wii tennis first, but then switch to bowling, which is super fun!  We play three games and B. seems to enjoy it.  I suggest to L. that we form a virtual league – B. and I against R. and L. – L. agrees that this sounds like fun and orders two more Wii controls from Amazon.

-I break so I can have some of my quinoa salad. B. says he’ll wait.

2:00 – 2:30 – B. and I take the dog for a walk around the compound.  It starts raining again just as we finish the walk.

-L. leaves for work.

3:00 –4:00 -  Inside and I suggest, what else, TV.  Upstairs and we watch Shirley, staring Elizabeth Moss.  This is an unabridged mocumentary about author Shirley Jackson and does not appear to be based on fact. Cocktail hour!

-4:00 – 4:15 - I excuse myself to sign in on a Zoom webinar involving my DE class. The coordinator is discussing “interaction” with students.  I put my black screen up and leave the webinar. I never return.

4:15 – B. calls in a pizza order at Guidos and we leave to pick it up.

4:45 –6:00 -  Home and we have the pizza and my quinoa salad, while we finish watching Shirley.  In the end, I liked the movie, although it was a bit strange.

6:00 –6:10 -  I check the Zoom webinar and everyone is gone so I log off.

-L. returns from work.

6:30 –10:00 -  I suggest to B. that we watch The Flight Attendant and we watch three episodes. I’m on the fence when I watch the pilot, but by Episode 3, I’m hooked.

10:00 – 10:30 - B. leaves and I have another piece of pizza.

10:30-11:30 – For whatever reason, I’m exhausted.  Night time routine.

12:00 – Bed.
