    Day 9

    Let’s play a game – what day of the week is it? If you guessed Friday, you should be right, but unfortunately you are not. Tuesday. It’s only Tuesday. Your welcome! How are you doing, today? Did you have a busy day at work? At my job, decisions and things are super fluid right now. Which is understandable, but also increasingly frustrating. I have a couple of people depend on me providing timely guidance and right now, that is rather difficult. I am not the most patient person. When I received the third conflicting message on one topic in one…

    Day 8

    Happy Monday, everyone! Another week of Covid-19 quarantine / self-isolation or lockdown, depending on your situation, has begun. I have not heard from you in a while, but hope you are still here with me and most importantly, you are well! Let me know you are, by posting a comment! And do not forget about our “acts of kindness” challenge! The world can definitely use some positivity right now. Let’s try to spread positivity and kindness for once! How has your first working day of the week been? Mine has been pretty much business as usual. I worked in my…

    Day 7

    Day 7 – wow! And there continue to be topics to share. I hope you are still with me and agree? Show you are, by sharing your thoughts in the comments. It’s nice to get feedback and most importantly to hear your stories. So it’s Sunday today which means, another crazy work week in my couch office is about to start. I hope my work companion is ready to join me as well. It’s just nicer with company. Today I am sharing Social Distancing – the pet version. The two guys are clearly keeping their distance and we will cut…

    Day 6

    Today I needed to read my own posts, especially the one from yesterday about being allowed to be frustrated. And to feel the feelings, instead of numbing them. I was in a bad place, you people. Interestingly, this is the second day with a rather bad mood and in both instances, the mood itself was not related to Covid19 really. So what’s up? I told you about the power outage, that led to me publishing yesterday’s post just now. Well, said power outage was supposed to be resolved within 2 hours (first FPL update) then by 8:45pm and then by…

    Day 5

    Friends, how are you doing today? I am sure, you are still hanging in there. I hope you are not having a bad day, starting to experience cabin fever or are feeling frustrated, but I would totally understand if any of these feelings paid a visit. It’s a very, very weird time. None of us has gone through something like it before. And I sure hope none of us will ever again. So if you are feeling upset about it, don’t beat yourself up over that, too. If you are usually not cutting yourself a slack, you should reconsider. You…

    Day 4

    Winner winner chicken dinner! You guys, I have exciting news to share: We made it! The US is once again #1! But hey, our President told us already during his election campaign and at every opportunity since: AMERICA FIRST! I would like to thank Covid-19 and all the Covidiots – this would not have been possible without you! What the heck am I talking about? The US made it to the top of the list of countries with the highest amount of infected people. We just always have to be the leaders. We are to be found, whenever there is…

    Day 2

    Hello – it’s me! Again. When I socialized the idea of a regular diary in the current situation, one of my dear friends asked me “are you sure you want to do it daily? You think you’ll have enough topics?” I am sure that was a polite way of saying, make sure you are not boring us. He got me thinking! Guess what? I would have enough content (in my head at least) to do this 3 times a day. But no worries, I am not going to do that. And of course I am also counting on you letting…

    Social Distancing with Nannette – Day 1

    Actually day 10(ish) but who is really counting? This is Day one of my Covid-19 craziness diary. I am going to post regularly, so check back for more! Hey, how are you guys doing? Thought I should check-in with you more regularly right now, of course while complying with the need to socially distance myself. So what better place to meet & chat, than my very own blog? Also, as I shared before, creating helps keeping me sane, so win win! My status right now? Well see below’s picture. Unfortunately I do not have the same sorrows free life that…

    We are ALL going to die…

    … eventually.  Apologies for the rather dramatic headline, especially in the current situation. I promise, this is not a cheap attempt of attention seeking. At least not from me. And I am very well aware that there are people that did not and will not survive this virus, which is very sad and nothing to joke about. Period! What I am sharing in my headline is a fact – unless someone invented or detected a way to eternal life and missed sharing it with me (those that believe in conspiracy theories are probably sure that’s exactly what happened and why…
