Things I& #39;ve learned while staying home due to #COVID19:
- Stocking up on groceries didn& #39;t magically make me a good cook
- I& #39;m *still* bad at completing household chores
- It is possible to watch too much #GilmoreGirls
Day two:
- Being an introverted only child, who was already WFH full time really set me up for success here
- any hour can be & #39;Happy Hour& #39;
- Even under the circumstances, I still can& #39;t bring myself to watch the #GilmoreGirls revival
Day three:
- I can sit on my couch for a ~really~ long time.
Day four:
- Fresh laundry is a true joy
- I would much rather lay around in said fresh laundry than fold it and put it away like an adult
Day five:
- I fear that I am nearing the end of the internet
Day six:
- No matter how much food I have in the fridge, I will still eat cheese, crackers and grapes like it’s a meal
- Things that should take me a few hours are taking all dang day
- Washing my hair = dressing up
Day seven:
- Am I supposed to be baking?
Day eight:
- Law and Order: SVU maybe wasn& #39;t the best show to bingehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">( @katherineesingh)
Day nine:
- Things are starting to get tense between me and (my Amazon) Alexa
Day 10:
- Teaching myself to French braid my hair is my biggest (and most useful) accomplishment in these times.
Day 11:
- Thanks to IG challenges, I’ve learned I am (finally) immune to peer pressure...or I just really, really don’t want to workout on camera
- Now feels like the right time to try every. single. meal kit.
Day 12:
- The dishes NEVER end
Day 13:
- The reviews about #TigerKing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> have not been exaggerated. It https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏🏽" title="Clapping hands sign (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign (medium skin tone)"> is https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏🏽" title="Clapping hands sign (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign (medium skin tone)"> wild.
- On a related note, I now have this song stuck in my head, replaced with the lyric “I’m feeling Joe Exotic” https://youtu.be/sPhhZg9v9NU ">https://youtu.be/sPhhZg9v9...
Day 14: Does ‘the weekend’ even matter anymore?
Day 15: I just don& #39;t wanna
Day 16: Between FaceTime, Zoom, Facebook video chats and a growing number of iMessage and WhatsApp groups, is #COVID19 actually making me more social than I was before? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😶" title="Face without mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Face without mouth">
Day 17: Hi, my name is Ishani and I’m addicted to the Scrabble app

Day 27: Should I attempt to thread my own eyebrows???

Day 30: Was just one of those days
Day 31:
Day 32: Realized as someone who used to love a quiet night in, relished when plans got cancelled and thoroughly enjoyed spending way too much time on the couch — I am now *stuck* in my comfort zone. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">

Day 51: My body is not built to carry a week& #39;s worth of groceries at a time.

Day 60: Finally washed the "hand-wash only" items that I have been planning to "get to" since Day 1 of quarantine. Even though it took me 60 days, this still feels like a major accomplishment.
Day 61: So many phone calls, group messages and Zoom chats and I still don& #39;t have a good answer for "How are you doing?"
Day 62: I never thought this would happen, but I& #39;m getting tired of watching TV...
Day 63: https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☀️" title="Sun with rays" aria-label="Emoji: Sun with rays"> Balcony update https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☀️" title="Sun with rays" aria-label="Emoji: Sun with rays">
