My rule when not working was always to leave the house every day, at least for a quick errand or short walk.

I had that rule when I started working from home, but then winter happened, and I realized that I am not going outside in the winter if I don't have to. If that makes me a feral hermit, so be it. (I just really, really hate being cold.)

My rule when not working was always to leave the house every day, at least for a quick errand or short walk.

This is a very good rule. I might need to institute it for either Saturday or Sunday if I have a weekend with nothing scheduled. I like having one stay-home-do-(relatively)nothing day, but I feel like when I don't leave the house for two days, I'm getting too close to full-hermit-mode.

Go, -t, go! Powerpoint like the wind!

Yeah, now I don't mind if I stay home all day Saturday, but I know I'm definitely going out Sunday.

And Steph, at least you have contact with the outside world via work and Tim.

I just had a quick call with my money guy (lol), where I was like, I'm good, everything's fine, I have plenty of money. He said he wishes he had more clients like me. I was like, Listen, I started out making $10/hour. I'm good!

And right after that a coworker came by to talk about someone who is my age and about to become a billionaire! Oh, this world.

And Steph, at least you have contact with the outside world via work and Tim.

While Tim's been recovering, he hasn't had contact with the outside world much, either.

Guys, SERIOUSLY, I need him to go back to work like 5 days ago. We have literally never spent this much time together, not even on our honeymoon, and we might be about to murder each other.

His plan is to go back to work part-time tomorrow (today is 3 weeks since his surgery -- can you fucking BELIEVE that shit???), and I cannot fucking wait. It turns out that I've gotten really really used to not having another person around for at least 10 hours a day. And he's my favorite person, but man, I really need my No People At All time back.

That makes sense!

My office is abuzz with the news about Jeff Bezos selling $4 billion in Amazon stock (supposedly he needs quick cash for his divorce) and have all realized that $4 billion is too much money to even realistically understand. Like, I sold a BUNCH of my own Amazon stock when I was buying a house, but I can't wrap my mind around a lifestyle where I might need $4 billion in a hurry and getting it was no big deal.

I wish I was in a place where I had even 4 million dollars of amazon stock, much less 4 billion!

I knew I would crash from the whirlwind of the last month, but I hate to just sit for a whole day.....and yet, doing something else seems like a mountain.

You have to take a day sometimes. If for no other reason do it to keep your immunity from plummeting. You can't burn the candle at both ends indefinitely. The body will insist on taking a break.

Ha! At least now DH and I have our offices in different rooms in the house. In the past we actually shared office space too. For the past few years I have gone north for the summer, but mostly the last 32 years have been 24/7 for us.

I'm not sure I need to go outside everyday TBH. I am such an inside person, BUT, I need to do things.

I have now showered, washed 90% of the dishes, emptied the dishwasher, and picked up a few things. Oh and I ate. eating helps.

I am not going to turn on the TV until I complete my list, so that is my motivation.

4 billion $$ is too much. It's obscene.
