COVID-19 Layoff: Day Ninety & Ninety-One

Day 90:

Welcome to day 90, pretty much 3 months of quarentine.

I woke up feeling pretty good and productive as I tidied up a bit, attempted to get Drax into the bath – that was a BIG no go. He is too smart for his own good, he knew exactly what I was trying to do and just wasn’t having it. He ran away, I tried carrying him but he’s like 95-100lbs so that wasn’t happening. He won that battle but I trimmed his nails instead which he lets me do no problem. BUT once Dave got home Drax can’t run away from Daddy! Drax got in the bath and got a good washing because he was stinky!

The rest of the day was just hanging out until Dave came home but then we just hung out again. I did get a workout in and now I’m sore AF.

Day 91:

I woke up so tired but I worked myself out of it and decided to ask Amanda if she wanted to go to Toronto Premium Outlet mall. Since I go back to work soon I needed to get shirts and a pair of jeans, plus it was just nice to get out of the house and walk around.

I only went to a couple of stores but I found that there wasn’t very good deals. Most things were full price and most things were the same, like if one store at a jean jacket they all had a jean jacket that looks the same. We had fun though, it was beautiful out and we got Freshii for lunch which I haven’t had in forever!

I came home and for some reason my head started to kill and it never went away, then I was in a bad mood and just wanted to be left alone. Dave and I had dinner and eventually we watched a old movie about baseball called Rookie of the Year. It was cute.

That was it, after the movie I showered and went to bed. I didn’t do a workout yesterday so I have to make it up tomorrow.

COVID-19 Layoff: Day Twelve

Today was a good-ish day!

I did my usual morning routine with the dog but decided I was going to weight myself and workout. Have you ever heard have Hannah Bower? She’s like my favourite ‘workout person’, she’s gone through the journey herself of gaining weight, health issues and negetive self image. She’s so real it’s refreshing, she shows her family, her parenting style and so much more. She’s just positive and encouraging. She posted all her at home workouts in a story so I found one of those and did it! It was simple but it killed me (I’m hella out of shape); it consits of squats, situps, pushups, side lunges and supermans. Your first rep is 20 of each exercise, then you do 15 of each exercise, then 12, 10, 8 and 5 with minimal breaks in between. My legs are SORE.

My boyfriend misses hockey so much that he is using his NHL game to play computer vs computer just to watch the Leafs play. The man is going crazy. LOL

Not much else happened, besides we found puzzles at the dollarstore cause my awesome friend told me they were there! We got 3, they’re only 500 pieces but it’s something to do! We might set up a puzzle trade with someone because everywhere is sold out of them. Pictures to come!

That’s pretty much it! I actually almost forgot to write this so you know, duh. I’m going to go wash my very dirty hair and go to bed with Drax, he’s the best cuddle buddy.

COVID-19 Layoff: Day Eight

My trial for quarantine is up and I want to return it.

It’s only been a week and one day and I’m bored out of my fucking mind. I honestly didn’t do much today and it makes me sad.

I walked Drax 4 times today, all these walks and not being able to do anything after is making my calves cramp up. With that being said Dave and I decided we actually need to add in a workout to this whole situation, and not to meantion we’re going to get chunky!

I finished my online course and aced my final exam, only got 3 questions wrong! I was just taking a introduction to Mircosoft Word. I know how to use Microsoft but I’m bored and I want to better my skills. I knew most of it but there was also a lot that I learnt at the same time. Short cuts using the keyboard, how to actual write a math equation without using regular text and much more. I signed up for the intermediate class but I’m going to give myself a break from it (even though now I think that’s a bad idea cause I’m BORED).

I read ONE chapter of one of the books I’m reading and all it did was make me sleepy so I stopped, plus I needed to feed Drax and get a move on with something.

That’s it, that’s all. I don’t have anything else to say besides I’M BORED. I’m so over being in quarantine. I want to go back to work and complain about regular things!

I’ll try to make tomorrow more exciting.

Stay tuned for more adventures.
