Corona – Working From Home Days 5 & 6

Day 5 was a bit of a mental write off for me to be honest…I was still recovering from the weekend and the people.  I pushed through the day but by 5pm I was mentally drained trying to keep it all together to get through the work day…I just needed rest.  However a few moments I note below are from Day 5 & 6 of working from home.  I really can’t say anything else will be happening the rest of this week to blog about but hey, who knows but I suspect this is my last working from home blog until something else happens to blog about.

I don’t want to be one of those people that make it through this and end up not wanting human interaction ever again…. I love people, most times. 

My roommates have never heard Can We Talk by Tevin Campbell and not only did this crush my soul but even after I played it for them and sang at the top of my lungs they didn’t seem interested…I need this isolation to pass so I can take em out around some more black folk so they can see how the entire room becomes a band and everyone is the lead singer when this song hits…they are going to learn to love it one way or another.  After this I’ll have them singing Tell Me What You Want Me To Do…I promise. Well you might as well play it in the background since we are all hyped up on Tevin right now.

I hadn’t talked to my friend for a few over a week, so I called her…. She’s not really active on social media anymore so you can imagine she had a lot to say about what was going on in the world.  After about 8 mins and 59 seconds of her giving me all of her theories on the virus I interrupted her and said “so yeah, how’s life going other than that?” we both busted out laughing and I told her it’s the last time I’m calling another human until this passes by and we gut laughed again then she said “fuck, I’m going to make the blog ain’t I?”  Yes, yes you did make the blog.

Working with one broken nail on each hand and a keyboard is not ideal. The different lengths make you miss keys. Can I get some testimonies that WE CANNOT work like this…Where’s my nail guy, Tim????

It snowed today…I’m felt inspired to bring out the Christmas Tree and hang the lights on it…I announced it to the household…they weren’t down for the Christmas theme today…I mean we’re kind of on holidays so I don’t understand this attitude.

My daughter snores and I recorded it.  Any minute now she will come running to me asking me to hear it.

I saw a video that my son posted of his breakfast…it was 10lbs of bacon, 99 sausages, 24 eggs some French toast and cheese, lots and lots of ketchup….something like that….he needs an intervention so I’m moving him back home and hope he picks up some better eating habits.  He asked would there be meat if he comes home…priorities.

I decided to eat healthy today and made a green smoothie.  It was all fun and games until that green shit started flying around my kitchen spraying the walls, my hair, my neck, my face ….my lashes…all of it … FUCK.  Blade was not on tight when I went to blend it in the Magic Bullet. It didn’t even taste good but I drank it out of spite.  But who did I spite?

I was also making a beyond meat burger while cleaning up the green splatter…I burnt it, once the smoke started to burn my eyes I knew my day was just about over for me mentally.

I’ve been tagged in the nut house post a few times and it appears I’m either sneaking liquor in or breaking someone out…Only once was I a unicorn…Ya’ll know I identify as a unicorn now right?…put me where I need to be please. I’m out of liquor and now they know me at the front desk so I can’t break you out.

My friend started working from home, she hasn’t done it before.  Day 1 she sends a pic of her all bright eyed and bushy tailed.  Hair done, makeup on and all dressed up.  I told her I’d give her a week before that would wear off.  Day 2 she looked like a hot mess. I win.

My daughter “needed” some vegan food.  I gloved her up before she left.  Made her send me a pic of here wearing the gloves while she shopped.  I also sent her my air miles number via text to ensure she gets our points.  Nothing is going to stop us from getting our Airmiles.

It’s my sensitive week…I miss being at the office, my boss always has chocolate….someone bring me chocolate.

Does anyone else miss Jodeci music? This was the jam and always will be

When is GL Entertainment going to live stream this dance party?  I want on the VIP list.

I was on a video call with my boss and my mouse died so I said “shit my batteries are dead on my mouse so I can’t hang up “ and he said “do you have any other batteries” hmmmm, I had to think do I really want to use those batteries…I used them and now I’m listening to “If You Think You’re Lonely Now, Wait Until Tonight”

My hair is lime green, yellow, turquoise (sorta), black roots and a touch of distinguished silver.  It’s just hair who cares right?  Like seriously who the fuck cares, NOT ME I PROMISE YOU hahaha

Can’t do this at the office

Thank you Macio Dorrington for the live concerts you’ve been putting on Facebook Live…music soothes the soul and creates a type of peace mentally.

Helen Williams, I truly look forward to your live videos, although I never get to see them when you are live I do see them afterwards…you get me cracking up.  When you said you brought home 15 friends and started pulling bottles of wine out of your bag I lost it laughing…but babe…I know you’re lonely and want human contact as you said on your video but keep your head up and keep pushing through and THANK you for the advice about gargling…You’re a gem babe…a real gem.

I realize that work is a distraction, so I know those without distractions are not doing well…check on each other…some humans need other humans to cope with this…we all need to do our part to protect each other. #sherryannecrowe
