My Random Life

March 31st Day 15 Well, ummmmm, today was pretty much the same as yesterday! Work, workout, pig out and Riverdale. Couldn’t even come up with an interesting title for today’s blog! Am I loosing interest? I stuck to it for so long (yes, blogging everyday for 15 days is long!) - am I doing this today just to keep going? Maybe yes! And I will! Got a letter from A’s school that they will be closed till end of April! Gosh! It finally dawned on me that there’s no option but for us to stay home with him all day. Weekdays and weekends 😂 M asked if we wanted to meet up over the weekend and celebrate N’s bday early. First time in ages, I didn’t blink for a second before thinking and saying no. It’s a no. Because I’m not comfortable. Cuz I don’t want to betray S’s trust - he’s the only person we’ve been meeting and I don’t want to jeopardize that. We have nice ‘quarantined family’ thing going so I don’t want to mess with that. I’m not even meeting my parents for god’s sake! Anyway, I’ll call M t...

March 30th day 14 - Great workout Had a long long long day work. Was on the phone almost ALL day. Whew. It’s hard dealing with people who don’t communicate effectively. Had a huge dose of that today. I got off work at 6pm and K logged off at 6.30pm!! Well, after that K found another home workout for arms. It was a crazy workout, totally sweat it out! I recorded a short video of K, A and me working out. Had a nice dinner, I pigged out and binge watching Riverdale. We are soooo bored of the show but we are so lazy that we don’t want to look for another show 😂

March 29th covid day 13th - Au Naturel!  Spent more than an hour folding laundry today. Jeez all the clothes! So so many clothes! Big and small and short and tall....all kinds! Been leaving my laundry lying around for more than two weeks, finally got to it. Had a nice day. Cooked, cleaned up, folded laundry and ate chicken potstickers for dinner. Love them! Ty to K for making them for me!  And another big accomplishment, washed my hair and left it au naturel! Wohhooo that feels liberating! Let’s see how long I leave my hair that way. It’s a big deal for me to do that. Doesn’t make any sense doing my hair since I’m not going anywhere. I might as well just let it be! If I’m comfortable then I might just let it be after quarantine ends! 

March 28th - day 12!! Yet another Weeknd!  Cooked and cooked and cooked - breakfast, lunch and dinner!! I get instant gratification with cooking of course, that’s one of the reasons why I do it. Very satisfying to eat and get compliments on food. Tried out egg biryani in instapot. Came out well! Make chocolate cake from boxed batter. Upma tasted yum too. Inka done cooking for now 😬 Ari and I had a nice long nap - almost 2.5 hours! Gotta fold laundry, ughhhhh. One of the things I hate hate the most 😕 Tried to have a game night but it didn’t go the way we expected it to - bummer. Played a card game called ‘Go Fish’ pretty interesting. Will be more fun when more drunk 😊 Will wait for next Weekend  - S will bring board games from his house.  Heard a story about a nurse in NY, someone S knows. Her sister sent a message saying there aren’t enough ventilators or masks or treatment for covid. So patients are being given sleep meds and just waiting for them to die. Felt a crunc...

March 27th - day 11  Had a ‘virtual’ GNO with the Scotch and Cigar girls gang! What an experience! Never did anything like this before. Really creative and fun. The boys crashed for half hour or so, kids raided it for half hour or so but overall it was super fun! Will definitely recommend to other girl groups.  Had a super long day at work. That was going to be the title of my post today, till the gno happened. Exhausted talking all day 😕  Glad I got through my status report so I don’t have to log back in over the weekend. Next two weekends will be brutal, but I will sail through it!  Just keep going!!

March 26th Day 10 Riverdale Another day of lockdown. Day 10. Unbelievable! Things only seem to be getting worse. No good news yet. Ari’s school is also closed from tomorrow for 10 days, so I won’t feel guilty about not sending him to school. Had a nice day at work, and with Ari. Really had a great time playing with Ari today, running around, falling over and running again! Kanth and I did a CrossFit style workout at home in the evening. 25 minutes of good workout. It felt good! Ari was working out alongside us too. Fun lil thing 😊 Started watching Riverdale on Netflix today. It’s ok so far. Not super super interesting but watchable. Reminds me of vampire diaries, small bills etc. will see how long I’ll stay hooked on!! 

March 25th - Day 9 BBW! Finally ordered a bunch of hand soaps, candles and wall flowers from Bath and Body Works. Wooohooo! I don’t have to use the shitty soft soap in the guest bath! Small things bringing happiness 😊 Was an ok day overall. Ari was a bit disruptive today. He really rested my patience while I was on conference calls. I did lose my temper once too but made up to him. I don’t feel angry angry like I used to with him anymore, I’m more of a softie now maybe cuz I’ve been spending so much time with him.  S came over. Ordered food, had a drink and a nice chat. Watched world war z 🤦‍♀️ Love it but a Scary movie. I was really getting scared that one day we wake up and there will be zombies around. When we watched contagion a few years ago, it was a far fetched idea to have a pandemic and see where we are now! Is it zombies or an alien invasion next? 🧐

March 2020 - will be remembered in history as the year of the Coronavirus! Novel Covid-19 spreading across the globe like wildfire. China, Italy, Iran on lockdown. Eventually spread to the US causing school, restaurant, work shut downs in an attempt at social distancing. People stocking up and freaking out. The only topic all over the news and social media. Lotsa memes and lotsa panic at the same time.  In a time like this wherever I turn my head and whoever I talk to, it’s all I hear about! It’s all people want to talk about. I’m obsessing over it and freaking myself out. Another three weeks of this, and I gotta survive it! Decided to start chronicling this unique situation as a keepsake memory! And it would help get my attention away from whoring over news channels and social media. A let out I guess!  March 17th - Day 1!!!!! Our company asked employees to work remotely starting today for the next three weeks. So I was at home today with A, didn’t send him to school though i...
