April 3, 2020 Friyay! This would be my typical call out to friends and colleagues towards the end of the normal work week. We would be asking each other about our plans for the weekend. Some with family will be camping with their kids in a nearby park, others will be planning a get together…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 19 & 20
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 18
Somehow time is flying despite going nowhere these days. Work continues to take majority of my regular days. I had a false impression when the shelter-in-place order was announced that at least I would be able to do more personal things but alas, I have not really made much progress in this direction. No complaints…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 18

March 31, 2020 It’s Tuesday! I planned over the weekend to do my foray out in the world today to buy some fresh produce from my favorite market and also get some fresh fish for the hubby from the fish monger. I didn’t want to run errands over the weekend. More people do go out…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 16 and 17
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 15
I woke up with my usual alarm clock, my Princess Tara. This time her meows were more urgent and I knew she was very hungry. True enough, the moment I opened her breakfast, she was lapping it like there’s no tomorrow. Poor girl. I hope she doesn’t become a glutton. My work morning started slower.…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 15

March 28, 2020 Saturday was a blur. Actually more like EXHAUSTING! Our cleaning ladies, H & A, are supposed to be here to help keep the house in order but because we didn’t want to take a chance and also for their own and their family’s sake, we asked them not to come. Realizing that…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 13 & 14
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 12
TGIF would be my usual greeting to my colleagues if I were in the office today and would be looking forward to the weekend, whether doing something fun outdoors, running errands or catching up with friends and family over a drink or a meal. Then when I get home, I’d be so relieved that the…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 12
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
