    I totally agree that it was quite distracting.

    I [bl]was [/b]actually hoping that each of you would copy and past your own challenge on your daily post rather than me doing one big one.

    Loving the challenge. I am going to take part (how longs it on for?) but I'm still in isolation (and think I DO have the virus) so I'm just gonna start at I dunno... 3000 steps? Could probs do that around the house?

    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
    Daily Goals
    • Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!

    Daily habits: track, 😀exercise, 😀journal😀
    Thursday Action Plan
    1. Wake 0635, pill, walk +squats + dumbbell row, yoga, pill 🤨—slept poorly, reset the alarm. But I did get in my walk + strength at 4pm. Forgot yoga
    2. Put Apple in fridge and water bottle at desk 🤨 had water already, remembered Apple late in day
    3. On computer, video ready at 0755 😀
    4. Take Sudafed👿 forgot (need to check these lists during the day!!)
    5. Healthy breakfast at desk 😀
    6. Check on Michelle😀
    7. Prep speech😀
    8. Prepped salad for lunch + chicken😀
    9. Upstairs by 9, journal, lights out 9:30🤨—almost. Closest I’ve come this week

    So glad tomorrow is Friday. Work has been too intense, trying to check in with all my staff, keeping up and transmitting constantly changing messages related to the virus while replanning the whole year knowing I’m down 20% of my staff with 30% more work and all of these huge challenges. Husband intends to spend the weekend on the boat with the kids. Hopefully that still counts as sheltering in place. I’ll drive down after finishing up my work...too hard to work there in small space with the family. Not sure how we’ll eat...usually we eat out at the local restaurants for a few meals (either at home dock or wherever we sail it). Even the idea of him stopping at the grocery store with the kids while I’m at work worries me—he’s the opposite of a germaphobe and won’t think to wash or sanitize hands after being in the store, before getting in the car, etc. I’ll probably get the virus eventually I just really hope it’s the mild version!!

    Recap R 3/19 ~ first day of spring
    1) Trust God :neutral: All the news makes this so difficult for me ~ keep reminding myself, do what I can, and God is with me.
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 7,776 steps, 250+ 11/14 & 27 floors :/ see #5
    3) Net calories green / 14c water = Net cals green 22 :smiley: sodium & sugar green :smiley: fiber low-ish :/ protein good & 14c water
    4) Cognos Admin emails/labs :) / finish reformatting docs / test GA-ROP :neutral: / 3:30 conference call rescheduled to M (set up e-account prior :) )
    5) Evening: x-train / wash dishes / declutter 15 min. :( stressed out & just didn't do stuff / other? <3 called mom & dad & had good chat; <3 called aunt for wonderful talk, she's reassessing whether she goes back to Australia (dual citizen) due to travel restrictions & her heart meds, but she will miss her hubby who's already there; :) organized for work from home
    6) Unplug 9 ? / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / bed & no tv 10 ? close? no alarm set

    JFT F 3/20 ~ keeping things simple
    1) Move hourly (pace if I have to) / stairs to basement / 5 somethings
    2) Net calories green / 14c water
    3) Work at home
    4) Floss / retainers

    Manager announced just before noon yesterday, effective 4:30 p.m. same day, our office working from home & travel is restricted to two counties. We are not at all set up for working remote, we're very manual process & paper-based. I am an internal auditor for a sovereign nation and all its departments / businesses. Great work/life balance focus, though.

    I couldn't get a laptop with necessary technology to view Surveillance video I finally got. So yesterday afternoon we were all scrambling to gather what we think we could do within strict limitations of what we're allowed to take out of the office. Manager is being very flexible within guidelines & her demeanor helped me keep calm yesterday (I told her so too ~ I think she appreciated that).

    Last night we got a little snow, but it's already melting. The wind is howling, but should die down later. I plan to take dog for long walks weather permitting. Maybe I'll even clean haha.

    Yesterday was a nice family day. I had trouble sleeping last night. Worried about my husband traveling for work later this week. With all the talk of shutting down travel I just worry he’ll get stuck. 💕

    I'm worried about the same thing. My husband and my brother are to travel out of state to pack up my mom's house and bring her and her stuff up to Wisconsin next week to her new house. Leaving Monday (23rd) and coming back Friday or Saturday. Her house in Indiana has been sold and she bought one up here near us (family). It's keeping me up at night that we could be put on lock down and either A) not be able to go at all which leaves her alone in a house she has to be out of by end of month or B) husband not be able to get home to me and my brother to his family in Minnesota. Scary crap. Anxiety is pretty high this week. :heart:

    I would not think any lock down would mean no road travel though? I think it would mean flights, etc. People still have to be able to get out. My son lives in Michigan, but works now, via skye to people living in CA and NY .. where there is a lock down. He said people are still free to drive and go places ... they just are not suppose to be at work (unless essential). So I would not think you would have to worry about them being able to drive out of state (unless they plan on flying?). My son is still working ... he works for a place that does online support to car repair shops, and my DIL works. She is in healthcare ... so I worry about that a lot.
    It is scary... but like my husband reminds me everyday .. control what we can, and try not to worry about things we have no control over.

    As I say that ... I'm heading out for a walk!

    This is such a hard time for all of us.. something in our lifetime I never imagined would happen.

    Last nite I could not sleep all nite... my anxiety and worry was taking over. My husband will start radiation treatment for cancer in 3 weeks. .. will that even be available!!

    So I want to start a dicussion ... and see if we can help each other. Give each other ideas. What are you doing to help relieve the stress? How are you coping? What steps are you taking to keep somewhat sane?
    I know many with little children especially have a challenge.. maybe we can share websites with ideas, etc.?

    I love to sew already, and hubby and I are used to working at home. But its the not being able to get out at all that is hard, plus the worry of being away from loved ones.

    So in addition to sewing, I am trying to learn to crochet. I am using YouTube to try and learn.. using some yarn that I have here. (Made 1 dishcloth already). We bought a keyboard, so I am trying to learn that. I am cleaning, and organizing. I am trying to get more charity sewing done... anything to keep busy

    I do know how you feel.
    2 weeks ago Ash's mum was told
    She has bone cancer. They luckily caught it very soon and there was no other sign of cancer in the body which is unusual as bone cancer is normally a secondary cancer (she has breast cancer previously and was still in remission like 10 years down the line)

    But we're hoping and praying she doesn't get it for the same reason.



    I hate to say, that to keep busy I am
    Having more sex lmfao and it's great. Maybe we should all do that.

    But I need to find more thing to do with the kids!
    Now we're feeling a bit better and got the house sort of on track I need to keep them occupied other than tv lol!
    I was thinking of drawing loads of template pics like flowers and butterflies in sharpies and let them colour them in and then maybe some games?

    I dunno.
    I need to clean up the garden so they can still go out and play!

    @mytime6630 I think that I completely understand your stress and fear as so much if it resonates for me. I’m self isolating with my parents due to their age and mum’s cancer. I don’t know when I’ll next see my husband and it’s so sad and scary. I still have the option of fleeing and going back to my husband but if I do that, I probably won’t see my parents again and I know my dad can’t look after mum or himself in these abnormal times. I have to hope my husband stays safe but at least he’s in a rural area and we’ve cancelled all our B&B guests

    I’m currently knitting a jersey and wondering whether to buy more wool or order a cross stitch. I’ve also ordered a crate of wine to help me cope!

    We are sheltering in place, and keeping our fingers crossed that we get through this.

    The fine weather this weekend should help.

    DED sent me a lovely fruit basket from M&S for Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. We have decided not to visit for the moment.

    What am I doing? To name a few...
    • I’ve joined a 14 day on line art challenge (search for painters on line on Facebook)
    • structuring my day
    • morning and evening meditation
    • Using the internet to ‘talk’ to family
    • crochet, jigsaws, journaling, gardening, reading, writing .......
    • HIIT videos off YouTube,
    • yoga/Taichi
    • Walks with DH
    • Cleaning! Cleaning! Cleaning! 😂
    • Decluttering
    • Stress relievers (search YouTube for Paul McKenna)

    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of January: 194.6
    End of February: 196.2
    Today: 197.0

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
    2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
    6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: 1984.
    8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Google Hangout.
    12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Progress. Got in 5 miles today! Tomorrow is going to be very full but we also need groceries and we need to take the recycling. UGHHH.

    11. journal 👿—left my journal at home. Can’t believe how much this annoys me

    Everyday feels tough. People on the front lines of this have it way harder, but the anxiety, decision overload, yet feeling helpless and unable to do anything is taking its toll. Went to our boat to camp out for the weekend. Hopefully the fresh air and sea life will lift some of these blues. And help me keep on track. I haven’t deviated yet, but I worry.

    Much love and gratitude to all those on this thread exchanging stories and encouragement. I can never quite keep up but I love reading all your support.
