I’ve had plenty of time to think during my solitary confinement at home due to COVID-19. While my work as a writer means a lot of alone time the current situation is unlike any other work from home experience from during my career. I hope to use this crisis as a catalyst for positive change for me. I want to come away from this experience with something positive to show for it.

I spent my Tuesday at the computer keyboard like I seem to do every day during the current quarantine. The good thing about today is that I had some work done on the outside of my house. I’ll accept it as a small victory considering everything that’s going on with COVID-19. I was originally going to delay my house projects until things got back to normal. Then again, who knows when that’ll be.
Some other highlights of my Tuesday include:
I look forward to things picking up this week and remaining productive.
How was your Tuesday?
I wish I would have written down when my state shutdown because of COVID-19. While I remain thankful that I have a job and career that lets me work from home, It’s getting harder to track the days. I’m setting more reminders, referring to my calendar more, and at peace knowing that I can always ask Alexa what’s the date and time when I wake up.
Anyhow, I blew off this blog last week but for excellent reason. Work got busy. I also had a pitch hit in a new market and had to get writing. Then I had a TechTarget deadline for SearchCloudComputing. Writing is one thing that takes my mind off of being stuck at home because of COVID-19.

How did Monday treat you?
I split my Saturday between doing some work around the house and spending time at the computer keyboard. Saturday mornings at the gym and then getting some writing done at Caboose Commons or Panera Bread is something I still miss. It’ll be great to get back to it.
Here’s how my day went:
It’s hard to say when this is all going to end and life opens back up. The Health Commissioner of Virginia made an ominous pronouncement of two years that was promptly walked back. I feel that nobody is driving when it comes to the government response at the Virginia state or federal levels. Too much politicking and selfishness are interfering.
How’s did Saturday go for you?
I woke up last Sunday morning and thought it was Monday morning. Yesterday morning felt the same as it did the day before. My days are definitely bleeding together. I keep trying to pace myself through this shutdown.
Here’s a rundown of the last few days:
My job is going along business as usual and I continue to be thankful for that. Yet I’m keeping my eyes wide open because I work of all the furloughs and layoffs taking place because of COVID-19.
How are you doing?
