The show must go on
While I am very grateful and thankful that I am able to work from home, but I admit it can be difficult to focus. I mean, there are always distractions, but add the current situation and yeah, focus in on the day to day minutiae of work can feel difficult.
I am trying to create structure in my day: AM dog walk then settle in to work, take a break at lunch and turn off the computer, then in the evening a walk to workout post work to signal that part of the day is done. That part is working pretty well - it's the staying focused that feels like a challenge! My son has been deemed essential by the Army Corps of Engineers (their boat yard supports some military and coast guard vessels), my husband has been deemed essential (restaurant manager), and I have a mom that's older. Thankfully my family members are all taking this seriously and being careful.
We are all powerless in the face of this - there is only so much any of us can do. It's hard to shut off that part of your mind and worry about setting up a Sharepoint site. :-) Hang tough, one day at a time, blah blah blah. Thanks for reading my little corner of the internet. It helps me just typing it all out.
Big virtual hugs.

This is a very scary time. We will get through this. I am still working. My office is open 6 days a week and employees are scheduled so there is 1/3 less people in the office on any day. I wipe my desk, phone, mouse and all other surfaces of my cubicle at least once a day. I wipe my hands after each use of the copier and wash my hands multiple times a day. Social distancing is enforced. We only go to the gas station & grocery as needed. My exercise is done at home or I will go for a run at the walking trail. Times like this make us stronger. I really understand how important it is to lead a healthy lifestyle now more than ever. Although I am still working, I will always make sure I have an “emergency fund”. People used to call us fools for saving for that rainy day. But I am glad my father talk me that lesson so long ago. Growing up during the Great Depression taught him that. So if we become unemployed we would have that fund & unemployment insurance. Please don’t give up. We will come through this.
