DAY 5

Day 5 of working from home. I am loving not having to drive into work and the added hours to my day because of that. However, not being able to leave the work at work makes it hard to get work off my mind. I clock out on time, I shut off my computer and the dining room light...but my head keeps processing everything. 
I still get dressed every day, but slippers are my new go to. I put on a touch of make up and do something with my hair (mostly so I don't scare John). I still get to spend my lunch break getting house work caught up on, but I am no longer as "gung-ho" about it. 
I am grateful to get to work from home. I am blessed to be able to stay healthy at home. But I am a social creature...and I miss people.
Still up for the challenge!

NON SLEEP MACHINE

I had a sleep study done, because YES, I snore. 
The test said that I very moderate sleep apnea. 
So the doctor suggested a sleep apnea machine. 
I picked the one that is called the Nasal Pillow, 
it touches my face the least. 
I sat through the tutorial and was ready to give it a try. 
Let me say, at this point, that I had no problem with my snoring. 
If I did stop breathing in my sleep, I still think this is debatable,
it did not bother me. I woke up rested and happy every morning. 
However, now that I am using this machine to sleep, I am not 
sleeping well AT ALL. John is sleeping great, without earplugs,
for the first time since we moved in together. 
I wake up all night long, I am uncomfortable with it on, 
and I wake up each morning more tired than the day before. 
I will keep going... the doctor asked me to do it for several weeks. 
But I dislike it more that I can tell you. 
I need a nap....so I can snore and rest!

AT HOME

I AM HOME AMONGST
THE TREES


TASTE



OFFICE MUSIC

This is what I have playing at my desk for background music. I used it at the office and now at home as well. Peaceful and calming, but not in the way. I bet it would be perfect to listen to at night too.
Perfect!

LIFE 
IS TO BE 
EMBELLISHED
NOT 
ENDURED

DAY 1

Day one of working from home. The home office ran smoothly and I think I’ve got the hang of this.
I even made sure I was dressed, down to my shoes, hair and make up this morning before I settled into work. My cute little dining table is now covered with work, so is most of the dining room floor. Plus I got the laundry and some house hold chores done while holding for vendors, and when you don’t have a 45 minute drive back and forth you get so much more accomplished! I think this new work environment will work out just fine. I’m up for the challenge and I’m doing my part to help keep those around me healthy.

LIFE TRANSITION

All industry is feeling the effects of Covid 19. Every one is trying to stock their homes and still keep a distance from others in hopes of not spreading this illness, I marvel at the speed of change. Walking through the grocery the other day, I listened to people complain that the selves were so bare. Yet I left with nearly all the items on my list. How blessed I felt that the necessities for my home were all available.
Today I packed my office into a few boxes and unplugged my computer. Then I drove home in the rain, thinking to myself that I wouldn’t drive those roads again until this health crisis is over, and by then the trees will be green. 
I arrived home to a new land line and set up my “home office”. I will miss the company I keep at work, but I feel so blessed to continue to work from home. We all need to make changes and sacrifices to help keep others and ourselves healthy. This getting back to basics and being mindful that self reliance is something we should work on all the time not just when life changing events happen, are great life lessons. Just like being re-educated in proper hand washing and cleaning techniques. We have all learned a few things through this life event. I’m glad we, all of us, are going through this trying time together.
