I go back to Work Wednesday, been home for 100 days. My Wife has worked at home since mid 2018 This time at home we got some things done.
- Emptied a storage locker we had since we moved from a big house to a condo in 2017. Sold, donated and trashed stuff.
- Went through 2 closets of old clothes and linens, donated a bunch, vacuum bagged the rest.
- Emptied every drawer and cabinet in the kitchen, cleaned and organized.
- Emptied and reorganized a large utility closet.
- Took up baking - Bread, pretzels, scones and more.
- Have an active sourdough starter for future baking.
- Watched all 22 Marvel movies in chronological order.
- Tried to watch DC movies, but they are all over the place, not on a single service like most of Marvel.
- Started and finished about a doz. shows on various streaming networks.
- Into season 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Donated about 50 books to the friends of the library.
- Went back and watched lots of old westerns and WW2 movies that I first watched with my Dad as a kid. - He passed 3 years ago.
- Cleaned up our finances and paid off some bills.
- Shopped for new mobile phone plans, auto insurance and went through all of our subscriptions. Saved a bucket of $$.
- Consolidated about 2 dz. external drives (small thumb drives to many large drives) going back 20 years to less than 4TB. There were lots of duplicates. Music, photos, old Mac back ups - back to Tiger, and lots of docs. Backed up to the 3-2-1 rule.
- Went through a couple of large boxes of cables, adapter and chargers - many for devices we haven’t had for years.
- Found an iPhone 1, iPod Classic, iPod shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod video, iPod touch and few other old phones and they all work. Way more lightning cables than I thought I had.
- Things from Kickstarter projects that I backed but never ended up using after a short time.
- Lots of other old tech for old network set ups, etc. Did find some things I lost when we moved.
- Have the Mac Mini home server dialed in - with all of that consolidated data attached.
- We had our Grandsons about 50 of the 100 days - their Dad had to work - single parent. Did a lot school work with them.
- Lost 30 pounds.
- A lot of time getting Unemployment, but it finally came though in late May.
- Cut my drinking from 1-3 drink most days to 1-3 drinks a week and some weeks none.
- Back into reading (Kindle) finished 3 books, working on Walden and Wilderness Essays now. Cued up Emerson next.
- Lots of other small projects.
- Looked for and found a new job. Yay!
The only bummer about going back now, there’s a lot of good shows coming out in July.
