Rainy Thoughts: Quarantine Life Week 4

Anyways, I am happy to inform you that my husband and I haven't killed each other yet and my dog and cat seem to be happy to have us around still. I feel really blessed right now because my husband and I are one of the few households where we are both still working (from home) full time, so we are not experiencing this financial burden that I know so many people are feeling right now. It's unsettling and my heart goes out to everyone right now.


To not go stir crazy and fill my head up with negativity, I have been doing stuff around the house to spruce it up. We recently bought new plants to transform our front yard, fixing up our sunroom and I bought my cat his own little aquarium to help his boredom and fill in his bedroom. But last week, I had one day where after I finished work, I didn't clean. I played Animal Crossing and when I finally looked up at the clock, it was well past the time I had been consistently been cooking dinner. And for some reason, the little voice in my head was anxious and I felt like I had done something wrong. I felt that my not being productive was bad of me to do and I felt guilty. I had to sit there and coax that little part of me and say, "It's okay. It is completely okay that you played video games and did not do anything else. It is not the end of the world that your schedule is changed slightly. It is okay." Is anyone else feeling like that right now or am I just crazy?

But I do want to remind you all that it is okay to not have a productive quarantine day. It is okay to do nothing. It is okay not to change your clothes first thing in the morning (I wait till like 10 or 11, depends if I have a meeting). I mean, who's gonna see your house or you right now anyway? 

Welp, that is my update for now. I'll update again in another couple of weeks. Until then, Happy Reading and Writing and Animal Crossing and anything else you like to do! What are some things you are doing right now to help you pass the time (besides work)?
