Covid Checklist Week 14

Cases are going up here in Austin, possibly because of reopening, or mass gatherings like protests, but from a pure numbers standpoint are nowhere near other states’ levels—our highest daily case number is 161 (check the data out here). I’m continuing to be cautious but practical. I also spent the last 10 days on a…

Resources / COVID Checklist Week 12

With a public blog, I feel pressure to share something about the racism and subsequent protests going on in our world right now, rather than simply sharing links that might make your individual life better. But, while compassion is the goal and support is the action, equality is my fight but I acknowledge that this…

COVID Checklist Week 11

ELEVEN WEEKS OF SHELTER IN PLACE. Austin opened up last weekend for bars and increased restaurant capacities, and also it’s an average of 1,000 degrees here so looks like locally we’re getting out there just a smidge more. I hung out with people, outside, over the weekend. We’ll see what happens. Week 10. Week 9. Week 8. Week…

COVID Checklist Week 10

I don’t even know. Week 9. Week 8. Week 7. Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s here. Week 2’s here. There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts I finally tried The Class, which is therapy in the guise of calisthenics, and I kind of hated it but loved it at the same time.…

COVID Checklist Week 9

Doin’ fine in week 9? Nah, the stir crazy is real, and I can’t even imagine how much worse it’d be if I was cooped up in a tiny apartment. That goodness for nice weather in Central Texas. This is what kept me covidtained this week. Week 8. Week 7. Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s…

COVID Checklist Week 8

As Austin, and Texas in general, opens back up, I’m taking it slow. So this weird series will continue, and this is what kept me covidtained? this week. Week 7. Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s here. Week 2’s here. There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts… I am now physically…

A special section for special times. This is what kept me covidtained? this week. HOW IS IT WEEK 7? Week 6. Week 5 here. Week 4 here. Week 3’s here. Week 2’s here. There is no Week 1 because we didn’t know back then. Workouts… Still hitting up long walks with Nali, Third Monkey workouts, yoga with King Yoga…

Bringing Happy Hour to Your Shower

THERE ARE NO RULES IN QUARANTINE! Even if there were, shower happy hour is always a good idea. I got a surprise shipment from 30 Watt (although the box said Prank-o, which is a far more hilarious “from” address) for their new initiative: Bringing Happy Hour to Your Shower: Sudski and Sipski are here to help you…

COVID CHECKLIST Week 3

A special section for special times. This is what kept me covidtained? this week. Last week’s here. Workouts Yard work. This weekend, not only did I plant or pot new trees: fig, avocado, olive, and peach, but my parents, brother, and I all composted and mulched our beds … I hauled 85 bags of mulch…
