Will anyone ever have Monday-itis again?! This is now the 7th week of 'iso' at home.
Working life is a strange blur of remote communication from a singular work station; my colleagues' faces coming at me in a jumble of video and sound whenever we get together via MSTeams (often with surreal pixelation effects!); and everything now has an email trail! My family and cat are now my real time work mates.
My husband and I are working from home - we had to move into our own 'office' spaces pretty early on due to clashing workplace Teams meetings with blaring out over each other. His office is at the dining table in the family room and mine is at the study desk in the 3rd bedroom. He gets the sun on his back in the morning and I get the sun in my face in the afternoon - if it's sunny. So far the weather has been mostly gorgeous. YAY!
Our daughter is on leave-without-pay until the end of May. We didn't see the sense in her continuing to work at her Randwick childcare centre and coming home to the rest of the family who were in isolation (or socially distanced or whatever). So we are temporarily 'wearing' the loss of her income.
Our son is in Year 9 - so home schooling has been on the agenda as well! As of next week he can go to school on Wednesdays, maintaining social distancing guidelines if possible! He has been pretty good at keeping a regular schedule which includes assigned school work, exercise, reading and music.
Happy memories from this time?: my son teaching his older sister to play guitar; my daughter reading!!; cooking lessons continue ... I hope the poor cat copes when/if we return to 'normal' life.
