shut-in: day one

hey! the day for me to join the ranks of those already quarantined inside their homes has come for me. it's 1:21 and i am home on my couch after working for four hours. the governor issued an executive order for non-essential businesses to close and i'm not sure when the expected day back could be. the second week of april at the earliest i think.

it hasn't really hit me yet that i'm not going back to work for weeks. all i know is that i was starting to get jealous of everyone who was already stuck at home. i'm sure i'll be eating those words by friday but i'm trying to look on the bright side: i have an emergency fund and i'm excited to have plenty of time to learn new things and make stuff. see what i'm all about, basically.

i also want to use this space to document the food i've been making and whatever else i consume while stuck at home. i want to be able to look back at this time and see how much life has changed for me and how well i adapt. i will try to avoid self-loathing and talking about scary virus stuff.
