Remote Work Day 4: Hot Tub Time Machine

Remote Work Day 4: Hot Tub Time Machine

Ugh, another rainy and gross day. Ellie is getting bored and cagey. I had a couple of meetings at work in addition to standup, so that was more busy than the past few days. Putting pants on is still helpful with the work mindset. Boundaries are hard. It’s not easy to be cooped up in the guest room for long-ish periods of time with a five year old either in the room or wanting to com into the room.

One nice thing about today was that towards the end of the day it stopped raining, the sun came out, and it was pleasantly warm out. Humid as none other, but whatevs.

Ellie and I swam in the hot tub for a while before bed. I figure it’s a good way to disinfect every day by sitting in a tub of chlorine water. Eh, it can’t hurt. Too bad that our hot tub doesn’t time travel. But really, if it actually did, do you think anyone would believe us six months ago? And who would I talk to about it? The mayor? I guess it’s best that the ol’ hot tub stays fixed in time. I’d have a fairly difficult time trying to convince anyone about all this mess.

That’s about it for today, other than there’s not a scrap of toilet paper at Meijer or Walmart. No squares to spare. Not even one.
