    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?

    Hope everyone is coping with the present worldwide emergency. We are self isolating and keeping our fingers crossed that we get through this.
    UK schools are closing indefinitely on tomorrow.

    Keep your chin up!

    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 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!
