Quarantine day #2
I originally typed a whole paragraph about how I suck at keeping this blog active. But I gave up the idea that I will regularly post on this blog again. So, let's just deal with it.
I’m typing this from my quarantine hotel with a shitty internet connection in Manila. Yes, I’m back in the Philippines for the holiday. I will be quarantined for 5 days before I get another swab test for Covid and be released, which is good because it allows me to rest and readjust my sleeping schedule. This isolation also gives me time to catch up with work.
The last few months have been so extremely eventful, to say the least. A lot of things have happened and how I wish I could tell you all about it. But one that really stood out is the fact that I’ve got my driver’s license after failing on my first test! I can now drive wherever and whenever.
This also makes making friends easier—I have a couple of friends I regularly hang out with. But more importantly, I get to try new things I always wanted to do and places I wanted to go since I moved to Cape Cod.
Career-wise, I landed a regular part-time job that allows me to live very comfortably and only work a few hours a day. (Although I have my husband to thank for paying all the utility bills). I’m hoping that by next year, I’ll be able to enroll in a class related to my work to progress my skills and get more opportunities. I’m thinking spring, but I’ll see what happens—I still couldn't leave my anxious dog at home by himself.
But for now, I need to keep my head to where it is – in the Philippines. I’m so excited to see my mom, my friends, my dogs, and do things that I missed. Although I wish there was no pandemic, I would have planned to travel somewhere else since I’ll be here for almost two months. I’m glad to skip the Cape Cod gray, though. Daylight saving drives me nuts.
