Tuesday, March 17, 2020 Day 2 of semi-self-isolation-social-distancing and (not) being a productive human

Birds chirping. That’s my alarm ring tone, and it’s the most pleasant sound to wake up to. It is not, however, the most motivating sound to get you out of bed and on the road to “Productive Human of the Month”. I hit snooze a few times. Checked my email (everything is closing). Scrolled through Instagram (same same). Perused Facebook (where I saw an utterly ridiculous comment written by my dad in response to one of my posts, but that story is for another day). By the time I literally ROLLED out of bed, I was already behind “schedule” (what schedule?). 

I checked on my sourdough loaf that had been proofing overnight (I forgot to mention that in my list of ALL the things I got accomplished the day before, gold star for me!), set it out for the second proof, and took the dog for a walk. Wait, no that’s not right. I made coffee, toasted a slice of bread, THEN took the dog for a walk, approximately 1 hour later. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if I got out of my pajamas before noon. Or, if indeed I even changed out of the t-shirt I slept in. 

My mind set on actually getting something done today, I procrastinated by spending some quality screen time looking through Instagram, while aforementioned sourdough loaf baked in the oven. But not all was lost, I came across my friend January’s Instagram plant sale.  I had been meaning to pop into her shop for ages, wanting to add to the mini house jungle I have going on. So, two birds one stone: support my friend’s small business while checking something off my list. BOOM. I then decided that I should probably go to Lowe’s and stock up on some items we would need to tackle a couple of home improvement projects over the next couple of weeks. Who knows how long the stores will be open? And, truthfully, I don’t want to interact with people all that much right now. 

Mission accomplished, supplies acquired, I am ready to really get down to productivity. Tomorrow.
