Not working means a lot of time at home.
And since I haven't worked since November 15, I have had a lot of practice at finding at-home activities. The only one I'm not doing (that I was before) is looking for a job. And now I fear I'll never find one again.
But I have learned some new things.
- I now know how to name a text thread. And even more exciting, I can even add emojis to the name, thereby making it a lot easier to find threads that I'm often on.
- Frozen bagels thawed in a microwave do not taste good.
- I've fallen in love with Andrew Cuomo.
- Playing virtual canasta (via Canasta Junction) with good friends (and conferencing in via phone) is a great substitute for playing live... and includes the added benefit of being able to play with friends in Florida and Colorado.
- Making roasted peppers with garlic and olive oil is time-consuming but worth it.
- But making roasted asparagus coated with olive oil and freshly grated pamiginao-reggiano cheese requires almost no effort and is amazingly good.
- The library has free Kindle downloads, and, they have the book I was about to spend $12.99 for (The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo).
- Hulu's interface is awful, sometimes the words are out of sync with the lips. I get a free month that I'll be cancelling as soon Little Fires Everywhere is over.
- A highly caloric lunch of melted istara cheese and cherry vine tomatoes, on mini brioche rolls (from Fresh Direct) is excellent,
- I can keep myself pretty busy without getting bored. Not sure if that's a sign of creativity and resilience, or just that I am good at finding lots of meaningless things to do.
yummy!
