April 13, 2020 Monday blues. It started slow for me, feeling beat after all the weekend physical activities. Can’t believe I made 10,000+ steps yesterday! Walked up and down our neighborhood circle and then back to the house for some yard work. It is possible to have some accomplishments while sheltered-in-place! Somehow, I’m beginning to…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 29 & 30

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 26, 27 & 28
April 10 & 11, 2020 Friday was just another work day. I was infront of my computer the whole day and had back pain at the end of it. Highlight was Instacart finally delivering my orders from Sprouts and Safeway. I didn’t want to go out, line up and be stressed out, so I just…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 26, 27 & 28
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 11
I was awakened by my new alarm clock – my Princess Tara – who for some reason has started a new habit. Precisely at 7:00 am she comes to the bedroom and starts making noises, nonstop until I open my eyes. I mistake them for her being hungry so for the last couple days, I…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 11
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 10
I can’t believe it’s been ten days since I’ve been working from home and not meeting with anyone face-to-face. The virtual happy hour chat with my ladies golf group – Golfbags – certainly helped eased the feeling of being confined. I’m glad to “see” everyone in good spirits (no pun intended) and to know that…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 10
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 9
My phone alarm didn’t go off this morning! I thought I set it up last night but apparently didn’t or it went off and I pressed the stop button instead of snooze. I must be physically tired. I forgot to mention that while working from home, I also try to do some house work aside…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 9
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 8
It’s been a week already since I and 7 million plus other residents in the Bay Area have been asked to stay home and shelter-in-place. Verdict: So far nothing to complain about. The previous week was mostly uneventful outside of the minor one with home WiFi. As I said I’m a veteran remote worker so…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 8
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 6 & 7
March 21 & 22, 2020 Weekend is here! I had all the intentions to wake up early, get ready and try to beat the crowd at the grocery aisle. On second thought, the bed feels comfy and the kitties are cuddling. Oh well, maybe next week. We still have enough provisions to last another week.…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 6 & 7
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 3 &4
March 18 & 19, 2020 The reality of being confined at home and interacting with colleagues and business partners is starting to sink in. Now instead of face-to-face conversations and meetings, I have to contend with video calls, multiple phone calls, text messages in multiple paltforms. I had a vague notion of perhaps having more…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 3 &4
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 2
March 17, 2020 First official day of being sheltered-in-place. Ironically, today is supposed to be the day we do a company-wide work-from-home test but we got overran by events. Tired as I was last night, I had to wake up and act as if I am going to the office. I’m a seasoned remote worker…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 2
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19
Sorry, folks. Admittedly, after going on a short sabbatical traveling around South America, I thought I’d have plenty of time to write about the places I’ve visited and share the many pleasant experiences and surprises I’ve encountered along the way. A serendipitous thing happened while I was on the road. I got in contact with…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19
