Routine

Just finished out my work week, and I'm logged off from work related tasks, lest my boss need something urgently, in which case, they'll text (but they definitely only use it for really urgent things).

I'm finding that the most important thing while being home is having a routine. Even when it's hard. This morning, waking at 7 am was REALLY hard. I was slow about it, but I did it. I was even on the computer and working, coffee in hand and news in the background, by 7:30 am (which is why I clocked out around 3:30ish).

Before I've started work this week, I've been good about making sure that the dishes are put away (and the dishwasher is ready for dirty dishes), and the laundry is in (If my goals that day include laundry. Today they did not.).

There was no yoga today, because I'm still sore today. I think tonight will be an epsom salt bath.

My kid's classroom now has an online portal to use with some resources, and they were thrilled to be able to use their reading site (epic), and a book creating tool. In fact, they just sat down to read books on the computer, and we've already concluded our learning for the day.

Today was a bit less "rigorous" for home learning curriculum, since they've been so good about getting things done and have been really involved in the things I've sat them in front of.

This morning was an art project with Mo Willems, then some reading on epic, then a Baking History lives stream (today was rainbow muffins and Alan Turing). Then they spent time creating comic-style books on the book creator tool.

After mid-day video games (for the kiddo, since I was still working, alas), we went out for a walk.

First full week of social distancing over.

This weekend's plans are to sleep in (at least later than 7 am), and play some board games, video games, and crochet and watch shows.
