Night of the day 7.

Friday night — photo by me

I realize today that I will serve 15 nights and 15 days for my stay-home-notice, due to my arrival at midnight.

Still, I am getting a little bit anxious today.

Still, I want to congratulate myself, you are half-way there.

So, in order to celebrate that I am half-way through, I threw myself into a semi bubble bath tonight.

And I decided for the next 7.5 days, I will learn something new and come up with a new list.

Checking the to-do list that I put on Day 1, I realize almost all of them have been done, except for 2 that’s ongoing (I will add them as the first two in the list below)

My list of things to do while being quarantined in a room

  1. Finish a book
  2. Download Duolingo, or a similar app, and pick up my Spanish for 15min a day.

3. Learn to sing a new song

4. Face masks, moisturizer, manicure & pedicure, make-ups, oh my! Treat myself to a 10-step beauty routine that I don’t have time for during a normal work week.

5. Write actual letters to family and friends. After that? Write thank-you notes to service people who I remember went out of their way for me.

6. watch one musical that I always wanted to watch, e.g. Hamilton.

7. Book a hair salon before release.

8. Take one Coursera course

9. Learn to practice my voice
