Iām writing this first bit on the afternoon after the last edition, the first official, full day of furlough quarantine. Itās been a bit slower than I wouldāve hoped. I slept in until 9, which was probably much needed, given how exhausted Iāve been lately, and maybe having one too many beers, but hey, I just got furloughed so give me a break.Ā
After making some espresso for my significant other (she thankfully still has a job) and my myself, I meandered around the house, as I tend to do most mornings, before taking Bruce Wayne for his morning walk. The walk was much longer today, which was quite nice since I had the time. Iāve been occasionally dipping in and out of two audiobooks for the last six months, so I decided to put Ryan Holidayās Stillness is the Key on the AirPods as we explored the nearby park.Ā
I got around to reading some comics, Grant Morrisonās Green Lantern and Jonathan Hickmanās Avengers + New Avengers, but mostly scrolled through the news on my phone to pass the time in the morning. After lunch, I settled on my next two books to read, first Static Run, the third book in the Voidwitch Saga from Corey J. White, which I already owned on kindle, and then since thatās more of a novella, I rented Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, from my local library through Libby and queued it up on my kindle.Ā
We ended the day with an episode of Avenue 5, we havenāt been thrilled with it, but couldnāt settle on any other show and it has seemed to get better as we get further into it, and then rewatched Dodgeball, once of those classics from the early-mid 2000ās.Ā
I imagine the next couple days are going to be a lot of the same as I get into a groove. Iāve been getting in some Peloton rides, although Iām probably going to temporarily pause my membership to save a little moolah (every penny counts) and Iāve got plans to do things around the house, between cleaning, going through junk, organizing, and grocery shopping, I should be able to keep myself pretty busy these next couple of days. Iāve already been dipping into some job postings so I might get around to applying earlier than I originally planned.Ā
Itās going to be weird having a weekend now. My SO and I have already been quarantined and working from home, but now I guess itās no longer really a weekend for me, but still is for her. Weird times.Ā
As Iām wrapping this up now, itās Friday morning, and Waxahatcheeās new album St Cloud was released. I highly recommend it after listening through a couple times already. Iām working on an album review for TIV that will probably be done sometime next week.Ā
Anyways, have a peaceful and healthy weekend. Iāll be back early next week with a curated Links Ahoy edition for this past week.
