Plague 2020#6
Jul. 5th, 2020 01:56 pm We were told on Thursday that we have to come back to work by July 20, just as the Plague is really ramping up. A foolish decision by OSU - actually OSU wants everyone back by July 7, so this week; our department has gotten approval for an extra 2 weeks for us to ease back into it. I plan to go into the office 2 days this coming week, prob T/F, and then MWF the following week and then full time starting the 20th. I could stay home the entire 2 weeks, but I know myself well enough to know that it will go easier for me to ease back into office life rather than suddenly make myself work full time in an office with no transition.
Today is Sunday, the final day of the long July4th weekend, which has been very low key. On Friday we did our usual Saturday shop, and then when we got back E was an asshole to me and then he moped around all day. He apologised and said he was feeling poorly and I figured I was in for a miserable 3 days. But I think he was ashamed of himself for taking his bad mood out of me and although he's been quieter than usual, the rest of the weekend has been fine. I bought a new pdf pattern which I printed out and spent most of Friday putting the pattern together, and Saturday cutting out the fabric. I had planned on sewing it up today, but somehow I have not. Instead I made a peach cobbler, which we'll have for dessert. Yesterday I made E's favorite bundt cake, but I seem to have left out the baking soda, and the cake is weirdly deflated and dense, though it still tastes good and he says he doesn't mind (he take a piece to work every day for breakfast). On Friday I made my favorite peasant bread for the first time in probably 2 years, and it was yummy.
So this is why I don't post more often -- my life is boring. But its my life, and I'm doing pretty well, all things considered.
