Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

I haven't worn a real bra, real pants, or any makeup in a week and a half. Going back to the office is gonna suck. :laugh:

Even on days I’ve reported to the office - my hair has been in a ponytail, no makeup and a race tee. Been wearing jeans. Not sure if I want to push it and wear shorts.

Today from home I did put on pants ans shoes, tee and sports bra. Still no makeup🤣

We have a zoom meeting at noon - not putting on makeup for this either

I only work 16 hours a week and can do most of my role from home just fine, but fitting that in without childcare is extremely challenging. They're 2 and 4 and can't really entertain themselves unsupervised for any time at all. I hate that I'm having to work every day and work evenings to make up my part time job, losing what little free time I had. Obviously I'm glad I still have a job but I could scream at anyone who complains of being bored. I DREAM of having time to be bored!

And my dad started chemo this week. What impeccable timing!

I know my kids and hubby and I are pretty low risk, but I worry something will happen to my dad and I won't be able to go and comfort my mum.

Got pretty serious right there. Please go back to drowning peanut butter in the rubbish bin and cling film wraps! As you were.

Yikes! That's scary. Prayers for your dad.

I stink at moving working from home. I didn't realize how much I actually walk in my office. I am going to have to do something to get a handle on it, but I really need to keep my 8th grader on track with online school more.

The sophomore is on his own with on-line school! I never even took chemistry. Can't help much.

I wish I could work from home so I could help my 4th grader. I am in the clinic everyday and almost on my same schedule as before all this happened. I can't do ultrasounds from my house.

I wish you could work ftom home too. I pray for you and all my clinical friends.
I know that I am fortunate that I can bill and code from home. I just wish I were better at taking care of myself while I do it.

My dad is doing ok. He is well set up for working from home and my three brothers all live within an hour's drive so are taking turns grocery shopping for my parents every couple of weeks.

Got furloughed today, which is not bad short term as the government is paying 80% of my salary and my company is voluntarily topping up the rest. I've been very stressed trying to work from home while looking after two preschoolers. But of course I'm quite worried for my job longer term. Nothing I can do about it right now, so I'm just going to chill for a few weeks, and do lots of crafts with kids.

I hope it works out! Enjoy your kiddo time!

Things are changing at my job. Found out today that my part at the clinic will be closed until 5/16. That's five weeks..... I get to use what PTO I have and some of my illness bank. Anything over that and they are paying us at 60% of what we make. Our benefits won't lapse and we can sign up for a work pool to help the hospital campuses with screening patients and employees.

They did this at Ballad too, but they furloughed our people and signed them up for unemployment benefits under the CARES Act instead of making them use up their vacation. So far, I am not furloughed since I am in the department that actually collects from insurance companies. We will see how long that lasts. They won't need all of us forever. once we get the old claims worked and paid, some of us will be furloughed as well, but it's hard to say how long.
We had fewer than 150 cases in our service area as of Friday, which is fantastic for slow spread, but I don't know what will happen when things open back up.
I hate uncertainty...

@spamarie I wonder if he was ticketed?

There are so many people here treating it as like as usual. Like daily trips to Walmart... this is not the point folks!!!

I am really disappointed in my local government for not imposing stricter regulations and punishments

April has been the longest year of my life!!!!

I'm working from home. I work from approximately 6:00 to 2:00. Then I do my home workout, and then go outside to walk or jog. I take "breaks" during work hours, where I walk laps through my living room, dining room and kitchen. I'm shooting for 10k steps per day and usually I hit it.

I'm trying not to get into the snacks, but it doesn't always work. I'll be glad if I just maintain my weight through this. I started at 205 on March 30, and was 204 this morning so I am maintaining so far.

I may be the only person accidentally losing weight during lockdown. I haven't left home in over three weeks, all my groceries are delivered and as my husband is also home there's no sneaky chocolate! We still eat desserts etc but my mealtimes were never too unhealthy anyway. I should be happy, but I'm so grumpy!!!

Dear Pinterest posters and recipe bloggers,

I don’t need you to write a book on how the taste of coconut curry reminds you of your trip to Thailand in 1982.

Just snap a couple pics and give me the recipe.

Right?!
