Health check to get into the shopping centre.
Friday 13th was day 50 for us. Tomorrow we’re planning to all go out in the car for the first time since it started. We’re now able to do that. Just as the situation elsewhere seems like it’s just starting.
E and I went out of the compound today. First time I’ve been out in 4 weeks. Which sounds crazy when I say it out loud but here it’s the new normal. We walked up to the shops who took our temperatures before went in. Supermarket was pretty busy though. Restaurants are half-open, you can only take away.
Self-isolation vol:4. What’s on you mind?
One of the singer finalists on Chinese tv is doing the show from his flat!
Morning routine. Coffee and kettlebells.
Self isolation Vol:3 Better out than in.
I have to admit it was good to get outside even for a short while.
No idea how I came upon Lunarbaboon webcomic but the mix of Dad stuff and mental-health stuff is right-up-my-street.
Never more focused then I when I feel down. I guess nothing else matters so much and I’m not so easily distracted.
Day 47 and I feel like I’ve hit a wall. e-learning continues but it’s no fun. My sleep continues to be sub-optimal. Sleeping too late and snoozing too much.
There was talk yesterday about the ‘lockdown’ (only 1 person being allowed to leave every 2 days) stopping today. Nope. Obviously disappointing.
This was just a list I made at the start but I realise it’s pretty much just working from home. Which I haven’t really done, I’ve done planning and stuff but not teaching.
Austin Kleon was talking about mini-zines recently so that’s what I did this afternoon.
@help Hi! Is there a reason I can’t type in Chinese characters in the app on my Macbook? When I try nothing happens.
Last night I tidied my desk and felt all the better for doing it. Not my greatest work, there was some hiding of stuff but it’s a start.
Struggling to get into Season 2 of Altered Carbon. It feels completely different and I’m not sure I like it. 📺
Kettlebell swings are feeling stronger, which I guess is coming from some consistency. Which is good.
Squashing coffee, exercise and just taking 5 minutes into the time between making breakfast and an online meeting with some other teachers.
Day 41 is bad.
Yesterday Day 40 of self-isolation wasn’t too bad, here’s hoping 41 isn’t so bad either.
This week, we’re going to try and put some order into our week. I’ve started by making the writing in my work journal diary neater and more organised.
Quarantine cooking: finding relief from the coronavirus anxiety in the kitchen. It’s strange since I’m here, but all this stuff passes me by, obviously.
The hardest part of this coronavirus lockdown in China is that my wife and I get so little time to ourselves and so much time with the kids.
