Anybody using this time to try something new? OEFL ordered a kombucha making kit from Amazon. I don't have a musical bone in my body but I ordered a ukulele with the hope I can learn to play mariachi music on it

Anybody else trying something new?

I have learned how to sleep in until 7am. I am now getting an extra hour and 1/2 more sleep than I used to. Yet somehow I am more tired during the day than I was prior to working from home.

Interesting. I've gotten hooked on Netflix Korean series. The first one I watched was Crash Landing on You. Pretty funny if you don't mind subtitles (or speak Korean).

same here. Like right now I feel like I could easily take a nap. Can barely keep my eyes open. Also, routinely forget what day it is.

Cleaning house, reading actual books, cleaning my guns, cooking new dishes. Lots to do inside the home.
Oh, and yard work.

Scrolling through the Netflix offerings I see that several movies about pandemics have made the "Popular Now" type list.

Who does that to themselves?

My kids used to get mad when a big thunderstorm was rolling in and I'd cue up Twister.

Watching racist, but incredibly funny old Fox Sports commercials.



The old Coors light commercials from press conferences were also really well done.

I've been drinking a lot more. Every day in fact, sometimes while working (from home). I don't think I would have survived the Mad Men era.

From recent experience, Contagion does not make a good date night movie during a pandemic.

I had to look that up. No Flowbee, just some Wahl clippers and a prayer. Figured that my clients aren't going to see me for weeks, so what better time to experiment even if I look like a dufus.

My sleeping abilities have sky-rocketed. Sleeping until 10:00 routinely. Before Corona I couldn't sleep past 6:30 and usually it was 5:30. I got 11 hours the other night!! So strange.

Glad to hear that I am not alone.
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.

watching netflix in German to get reacquainted with that skill. About to finally start reading Dune.
Each day I super deep clean a room of my house.
Will probably start painting or drawing once I finish that.

I've been working on a 2nd bachelors in Computer Science through Oregon State Univ. (ecampus)

A new term started today, so with all the extra free time I picked up another class AND I applied for (and got accepted) a position as a Teaching Assistant for a sophomore level class.

This is all on top of my day job as a software developer on a remote team


I also planted an apple tree in my front yard this weekend.

Keeping fit in my makeshift home gym in the garage. Boning-up on some data analytics software...and occasionally sneaking into stash of cannabis gummies.
