June 21, 2020 – Summer Solstice It’s been 95 days since CoVid19 forced most of us in the Bay Area to stay home. Yesterday marked Summer Solstice, the start of summer and the longest day of the year for 2020 and today, June 21 is Father’s Day. CoVid19 is forcing us humans to mark these…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 82-95

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 62-68
May 25, 2020 – Memorial Day Weekend It’s been an intense work week for me and I promised myself that I will detach from work over the long weekend and I’ve been true to my promise. I also promised myself that I will try to practice the ‘art of doing nothing’ as a treat for…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 62-68
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 55-61
May 11-17, 2020 The days are getting longer and the weather warmer here in the Bay Area. It’s been two months since the shelter-in-place order started. My week was very uneventful, spent mostly indoors due to deadlines at work. One call after the other and sometimes, I forget to take a break or have proper…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 55-61
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 54
May 10, 2020 – Sunday Today is Mother’s Day and I have been thinking about what to write in my blog the whole day. Should I honor my mom who passed away two years ago or should I write about how this period in history is impacting what it means to be a mother? I…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 54
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 45-53
May 1-9, 2020 Sorry folks for being quiet for a week. May 1st hit and my work life took most of my time. We had a lot of things going on due to closing of our fiscal year and then some organizational changes. Yep, even while sheltered-in-place, the work wheels are churning and pieces are…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 45-53
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 43-44
April 28-29, 2020 I have been feeling frustrated for a few days now. Not because of CoVid19 but primarily because of things happening at work. Change can be difficult for a lot of people especially if these people have been doing the same thing for a long time. I should know but really I don’t…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 43-44
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 38-42
April 23-27, 2020 My days have melded together. Sometimes I don’t even know what day it is. What’s the point of keeping track anyway? I’m not going anywhere. I’ll never be late for anything since I’m just in the same location every single day! For some reason, I wasn’t very good at planning my days…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 38-42
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 36 & 37
April 21, 2020 Tuesday was not really memorable. Just an ordinary day. I have been sitting down too long – attending webinar and conference calls – my back was sore. Unfortunately, I don’t have the right chair for my home office. I’m just using a regular dining chair. I’m hardly ever home pre-CoVid that I…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 36 & 37
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 34 & 35
April 19, 2020 Just another Sunday but more relaxed than previous week. Somehow I’ve gotten into the rhythm of daily life where there’s not much competing priorities outside of home. My pace is becoming much more laissez faire. Late pancake brunch and then a venture out to the Farmer’s Market. I wasn’t able to order…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 34 & 35
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 32 & 33
April 17, 2020 I thought my Friday will be a slow day after my weekly check-in with my boss at 8:30 am. Was I sooo wrong! One call after the other, one follow up after another. Some crisis management and lesson in negotiating skills in a couple of conference calls. I didn’t get to have…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 32 & 33
