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 31
One month to the day today when the health officers of 6 Bay Area counties declared the shelter-in-place order. Four weeks ago. Time flies even if we’re going nowhere. Amazingly and thankfully, things are going well for us. We’re healthy and safe, which matters most these days. Believe it or not, I have not been…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 31
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 29 & 30
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 13 & 14
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 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 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 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
