Tagged by no one, but I saw it on my dash and wanted to do it!
Are you staying home from work/school? Yes, my entire office (minus management) is working remotely. Though I had a nightmare dream that I forgot we were supposed to be quarantining and went into the office to discover that the QT had been optional and I was the only one who was doing it. And then I got reprimanded for saying their lack of social distancing (there was not six feet of space anywhere) was dumb.
If you’re staying home, who’s there with you? My cat, Clove. We’ve gotten to know each other way better in the past month. For example, the way she looks at me sometimes has led me to determine that her humansona would be a middle-aged woman named Donna.
Are you a homebody? Only on my own terms. In fact, the improvements I’ve made in my depression had me starting to socialize more, so this quarantine is killing me.
What movies have you watched recently? I watched Love, Marriage, Repeat on Netflix (it was okay), Dora and the Lost City of Gold (it was fantastic), two documentaries (Faberge and Ballyfin)... I got about a third of the way through Band of Brothers before my therapist told me to knock it off because it was triggering me, so... that’s on hold until after the world stops caving in.
An event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled? The one-year birthday party of my niece best friend’s daughter. I was so psyched for it.
What music are you listening to? It varies depending on my mood and my activity. I listen to a spotify playlist called “Peaceful Piano” when I just need something chill in the background, and I’ve found that the Greatest Showman soundtrack is about the only thing I can sing along to while knitting. I’ve had to stop using my earbuds recreationally though, as they made me feel claustrophobic.
What are you reading? I just finished Alchemists of Loom, and am now popping back over to Austro-Hungarian nonfiction with a biography of Empress Sisi. I learned a little bit about her when I was in Vienna, Austria, and I strongly suspect that she was a lesbian. Just sayin’. I hope the biography gives me more ammunition to fuel that theory.
What are you doing for self-care? Keeping my ADHD brain busy. Reading, writing, knitting. I tried to use adult coloring books, but there was too much going on visually and it just overwhelmed my brain processing unit. I just got my first paint-by-numbers kit to replace it, and I didn’t realize until I read the box that it was an intermediate level, but I think the fact it’s all numbered will make it better than the coloring book. I can do meticulous rule-following. It’s when I have to do meticulous coloring freehand that I have an issue.
Tagging if you like: absolutely anyone and everyone. Tag me as your tagger if you do it.
