This is getting a little old, eh? I’m sure all of you have adapted to a new routine. Mine consists of planning, preparing, and eating three times a day – the highlights of the day for me; spending 30 minutes on Duolingo trying to learn Catalan; taking a walk for at least an hour; doing the NYT Spelling Bee (I’m obsessed); walking the dogs; checking Facebook, Instagram, my blog stats, and email; working for the hospital, if there is anything to do; trying to figure out what to watch next on Netflix, Prime, Hulu, or Acorn; and talking with friends on WhatsApp or FaceTime – another favorite pastime.
Speaking of Acorn – the streaming app for British and Australian shows – I’m afraid I may come out of this with a British accent. I’ve already caught myself (talking to myself internally) saying things such as “I’m sitting on me sofa,” with the accent of course. I might try to drive on the left/wrong side! Besides that the shows are British, most of them are crime dramas. It’s basically been all murder all the time. At least that’s one thing I’m not afraid of here!
Also, my self-care habits have deteriorated. I’ve barely brushed my hair and I haven’t worn make-up or a bra in weeks. It’s kind of scary, I think you can relate. I’m considering dreadlocks.
Here’s hoping all we have to fear is boredom and that we clean up a bit in the end!!

“We clean up a bit in the end”. A bit of a Brit expression, eh? 🙂 Oh yeah…the makeup and no bra thing…my girls have sunk at least an inch a day. Need to find a routine for them to get them back on the upside!
Though all our lives are different, they are very much the same right now. Soon, I hope that we find our way back and this does not become the “new normal”. NYT Spelling Bee…I did not know! Will have to give it a go.
Miss you – xxoo

Have been thinking of you a good deal since the news has been reporting the Spain outbreak. Your take on life in general is very “religious” in tone, as we believe that man makes plans and G-d laughs. Here life is as you painted – walks, Netflix, cooking (for me, for it is something I love to do), etc., but a brassiere is a MUST with these girls – you see, my brother-in-law eats with us here everyday. Couldn’t do that to my husband OR him. My hair is another thing – must be washed and looking decent. Of course, judging from your washing machine descriptions, maybe your plumbing isn’t as efficient as ours, so this has become a way around for you! Nonetheless, I wish you continued good health and sanity!
