What Have I Been Up To?

I went to the office one morning last week, I had not been in since March 17th, there were a couple of things I needed from there, and the office mail had not been sorted through since March 16th. I drove in, traffic was not bad, there were four people in 250 offices on our floor. I don't plan to go back anytime soon.  

I have been walking, long thinking walks.  The gardens at Mt. Vernon reopened with limited attendance.  I went out for a walk, but was disappointed at the people not wearing a mask around other people. Mostly I am walking near home, often without going outside of the fence.  

I had some work done on the convertible.  It was due for an oil change,  the windshield washers had quit squirting and when I bought it the sound insulation on the underside of the hood was loose.  That and a through detail cost way to much money, but everything works and it is a wonderful time of the year to put the top down.  I drove it into the office the other day. 

I have Covid hair.  My last haircut was in January. The salon I had been going to has not opened, I doubt they will, they had been struggling a bit.  I wonder where Jose will go, he was very good.  In the meantime I have not had hair like this since the early 1980's, I am thinking about letting it grow and seeing how wild it can get.  

I bought a new rug for under my desk chair at home to replace one that was starting to wear through.  I love old worn rugs, but the roughness under my chair and bare feet was disturbing.  

I am taking proper lunch breaks for the first time in my professional career. 40 years ago, when I often worked alone in an office that served the public, I got into the habit of eating at my desk, and working through lunch. I am now leaving my desk, going in the other room and taking a break.  The experts are right, I do get more done with a decent mid day break.  

So what are you up to these days?
