Remote Work Day 8: Outside!

Remote Work Day 8: Outside!

Well yesterday was nothing to sing about. It was cold and gross and I worked from home. Whee.

Today, though! Today was nice. It was sunny! It was warm! Ellie did really well on homeschooling! I took my laptop out on the back porch and worked the rest of the afternoon from outside. I wore my sun hat. It was amazing.

One thing that I signed Ellie up for a few months ago and we have all been enjoying is the Kiwi Crate (that’s a referral link there). She looks forward to them and they’re really well constructed and she learns about different topics. This one was about exploring stars. She made a lantern and a little gear thing that showed how the earth orbits the sun and how the moon orbits the earth.

Work was pretty good. I got two MRs approved and merged today. Yay! Work has been so so good about providing resources for working from home and making this time as good as possible. And it’s days like these that it’s actually pretty enjoyable to be at home with everyone. Yay sun! Yay outside! Yay being able to watch Ellie play outside while working!

Remote Work Day 6: Week Two Begins

Remote Work Day 6: Week Two Begins

I didn’t write anything Friday. I was strung pretty tight Friday what with the stay at home order announcement. And nothing really happened anyway.

Today I played the game of “don’t mess with your dock” which involved me figuring out why my laptop died and monitor wouldn’t work. All me being dumb with the dock. All resolved.

Ellie started homeschool today. It wasn’t too bad. She really enjoyed it. I kind of split my time in the morning and then Brett did the other part of it with her in the afternoon. I found out I probably should have gotten her a headset and turns out that there’s a verrrry slim selection available on amazon at the moment. I wonder why they’re all gone. Probably to do with everyone working from home. Probably. Just a guess.

She says she feels like she learned things today, so I guess that’s good.

More tomorrow!
