Newfound downtime
What was on my calendar for today:
Yoga
Take Irv to eye doctor followup appointment at CU Med Center
Good News Breakfast editing session
Zumba
Estimated drive time: 4 hours, 10 minutes
What I did so far today:
Wrote emails to friends
Called friends
Took puppies for individual walks (twice as much exercise!)
Had coffee on the deck with Irv
Did some marketing for my book
Spent time (probably too much) reading about COVID-19
Drive time: 0 hours, 0 minutes
So despite missing appointments and classes, there is an upside: Saving on gas, and wear and tear on my car; spending time at home rather than running myself ragged.
Big storm predicted for tomorrow. I don’t plan to go anywhere for the next few days. In fact, I’m trying not to plan anything! Yet I do have some goals for this surreal life we are all living:
Enjoy the time at home with Irv and the pups
Write notes of thanks and gratitude
Catch up with friends via phone and email
Laugh and make someone else laugh
Read novels by the fire
Try not to freak out by watching and reading too much news
Practice being a human being rather than a human doing
Sending thoughts of love, health and peace to all! Thank you for reading my blog.
