My middle name is NOT self-motivation.

Just found out my library system will keep buildings closed until at least May 4th. This isn't really a surprise, but it is still scary/sad. Maryland has been doing its best to keep this under control, Gov Hogan is one of the few Republicans to ignore Trump and I am sure, in the end, his actions will save a lot of lives in this state. I just wish everyone was taking this thing seriously and following suit rather than it being so random all over, which means the virus will continue to spread.
Anyway, I feel like I need to get some kind of routine into my day if this is going to be my life for the next month. I didn't realize how much work kept me sane? Like, just having that routine of wake up, go to work, see people, do things...I guess I'm not great at doing stuff that doesn't have a due date so my house is just a thing that is here. But for my own mental health, I gotta do something!
Tomorrow, Dicebreaker is doing a live stream at 3pm GMT (so 11am here) and I'm going to set alarm to wake up, take a shower, get breakfast and then settle in front of the TV for that. I know that sounds kind of lame, but I feel like it is a start because right now it's like wake up whenever, do whatever, sleep whenever and that can't be healthy. We do have online work meetings twice a week though so those days will be good for getting going earlier too.
It is raining today so no afternoon walk, boo! I am going to mail off my cut up t-shirts to Project Repat (which my Mom bought for a Christmas present) and spin by the branch to make sure the place hasn't collapsed.
And now, to shower!
