I'm sheltering in place by myself (for now!) at a small, seasonal town at the Jersey Shore during the global pandemic.
I woke up really early this morning and made the mistake of looking at some news.
I threw the phone away and went back to bed until like 845am.
BREAKFAST
I woke up and not sure exactly the order but I made some pour-over coffee and reheated some frittatas that were going on their way out.
I used the oven to heat the eggs and to toast a slice of bread.
I sing a lot too.
Today - I assembled the standing desk work station that i ordered from amazon. i did it in 90 minutes without cursing or crying.
I vacuumed and cleaned the entire tiny house (except for the bedrooms) and swept and Swiffer'd the floors. Took about two hours but also did some stuff outside like sweep the patio and put the patio furniture together outside.
LUNCH: For lunch, I ate a banana, an apple, and some grapes. And a cup of coffee. (Pourover.)
There's no dishwasher here so I'm always doing dishes. It's kinda therapeutic.
I had a lot of cardboard to recycle so i broke all that down outside.
i had a leftover roast chicken bones that i used to make a slow cooker chicken stock with (just drained it and will fridge it and skim the fat tomorrow.)
EXERCISE:
- I did high knee kicks.
- I did 3x10 pushups
- I did a bunch of 1-2 punches swiveling each side (maybe like 2 sets of 20?)
- 3x25 sit-ups with a heavy object in hands that extends all the way past head
- I did 3x20 squats while using a full laundry bottle to do a press up
- I did 6X20 rotating straight front arm raises and straight side arm raises
- I did 3X15 bicep curls with said laundry bottle
- I did some cat and (cow?) stretches
- I did down dog and the one where you sit you ass on your heels and stretch
- I did like the push up position where you raise your leg up (2x20 each side) in the air to work your ass.
There was some junk on the side of the house from a back door that was recently installed that i organized and threw away - jersey style - with someone else's junk!
I also walked on the beach for like 20 minutes.
DINNER: I took some olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a little pot and heated it on low. I put some crinkle cut french fries in the oven, took some kale, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice and heated it up in a cast iron skillet. i added butter (unsalted, not a lot) to the pot and added two filets of cod (maybe 6oz?) and tossed them around on all sides for some minutes. I shook out the kale into a bowl and added some ripped fresh mozzarella.
I had some Jay Lohr Cabernet.
Tonight i did some laundry and showered. I also gave myself a tiny haircut around my ears.
I shared a video Debi Mazar posted about NY during corona.
I did dishes.
I filtered the chicken stock.
I've talked to Tony and Teddy and texted with Christine, Julie, Kris, Dave, Sara among others.
I'm writing myself a journal.
I felt good today. Much better than the day before. Much, much better than the day before that!
