How do you plan on keeping yourself occupied?

I'm teleworking, and so I've lost my art desk for a while. The personal laptop is on the left, out of the frame. Email, Microsoft Teams, and three windows open for Python scripting.

Still working my garbage healthcare job where I'm potentially exposed to the virus while making less money than people getting unemployment lol. Can 2020 please just end.

Don’t know what is happening but today I have unable to log in since this morning

It happens sometimes. I think it's usually for site maintenance.

It always seem to be Saturday night into Sunday morning but this time it started earlier and lasted longer!

If it makes you feel better, I've turned the downstairs dining room table into an art and puzzle table.

Will it get me unblocked if I tell you that I haven't vacuumed in a couple of weeks?

 

[SquarePeg]

Yup

I'm learning how much I hate to cook and wash dishes. (NYC apts aren't set up for that.)
Culling photos, culling photos, culling photos, culling photos, culling photos.
Play bridge online 3x a week.
Walk the same 3 mile loop every day and listen to audiobooks.
(Park Ave looking north at Grand Central)

On nice days, for a treat I go to Central Park

SW corner of park at Columbus Circle. Note people spaced out with masks. Tap dancer taking a break on her little platform.

Still can't get used to seeing empty streets in NYC. I do love seeing folks honoring social distancing while still out enjoying themselves in Central Park, though.

I do enjoy cooking, at least. I like getting in the kitchen and trying stuff that I have thought about but didn't bother with till now.

For example, custard! I love it just about any way it's presented to me: flan, creme brulee, etc.

I tried a baked custard yesterday:

So easy!

In the last month, I've also made cream of tomato soup, vegetable lasagna, corned beef brisket, vegetable soup, fusili with kale, to name a few. It's relaxing. People tend to leave me alone while I'm cooking, too, so it's win-win.

@terri Yummmmm! Love me some custard. I’ve only tried to bake it once and it was just meh. I do make a a three layer chocolate mousse cake that has a vanilla custardy type layer. It’s a challenge not to eat it all right out of the pan while it’s warm. Have you tried creme brûlée French toast?

Ooo, no I haven't! Sounds interesting, I will look it up! Your cake sounds deadly.

This effort was my second attempt. The first time I used honey as the sweetener since it was suggested in the recipe, and it was overpowering to me. I also used 2 whole eggs that time. The second time, I used nothing but egg yolks, and a scant 1/4 cup of sugar. Much better!

Wait...all that baking and cooking?! Overachievers! Block, block!
