How are you spending your lockdown time?

[et bbal]

I have been trying to get outside, for at least a walk around the block, every day.

 

I'm lucky enough to still be full-time-employed, so I do work 8 hours a day, albeit from home.

 

I've been doing yoga, and a foam roller routine almost daily, and I've learned three things:

1) My shoulders are weak as heck.

2) My hamstrings are about a foot too short

3) My calves are actually made of concrete.

 

No Yoga, but my wife teaches a strong body class (geared to older adults) as part of her duties as a physical therapy asst. She has been "making" me do it 3 times a week. I shared with her the three things you have learned. She had a good laugh - they are the same things I have been complaining about.

The thing is, I'm in decent shape. I bike often, I play ultimate frisbee. I've just never been flexible and I've been overweight for 15 years.

I’ve been working from home all week, but today is my first day with my wife and 3-year-old son also home. I’ll be working 4 am - Noon, while my wife works Noon - 8 pm. Whoever is not working is in charge of the kid. This will not be easy. A tiny bright spot is we’ll save $220/week on day care, but I worry about the day care staff not getting paid.

$220 a week, for one child?

 

Try 450-500 here in MN. Needless to say I told my employment to stick it and am now practicing daddy day care (wife had the big job anyway).
