  1. How changing my clothes made a difference this morning, even though I started in a dress it didn’t match how I was feeling (a little-rolled-out-of-bed-couldn’t-sleep-last-night-but-have-meetings-all-day) so I swapped it for running pants and a sweatshirt and put an actual scrunchie in my hair and it helped me focus.
  2. The slew of support from business to business to business to employee to consumer to business to employee and former employee . . . people are all doing their best.
  3. Merlin on my lap for nearly every meeting and he never quiet settles but it gives my hands somthing to figet with (his ears, scratching his neck) while I work through the work.
  4. Taquitos, grilled turkey sandwiches, Reeses’ Puffs, Mac & Cheese, baked Cheetos, clementines, bananas, carrots, sparkling water and, yes, Diet Coke: a social distancing diet.
  5. Frozen II on Disney+ watch party tonight
  6. Volleyball anime is a thing that still exists? Like, do we talk about this enough? GO WATCH VOLLEYBALL ANIME (real name: Haikyu!! – first two seasons are now on Netflix – please watched the subbed version).
  7. Waking up in the night to the sound of the rain remains one of the most peaceful, contented feelings in the world.
  8. It makes a difference for me to have more light so I moved my living room lamp next to my kitchen table and light up my new workspace as much as I can.
  9. Even though I would really like to buy a Nintendo Switch right now apparently that is impossible online and I’m taking that as a sign that I shouldn’t get obsessed with playing video games even if it’s special circumstances. I have enough obsessions.
  10. I have talked to people on video in a non-work context every day (I think, the days are a bit blended) this week. So really, in my social distancing, I’ve been much more social than usual.

With Love,

Natalie
