“Every day above ground is a great day, remember that.”*

I think Sunday is the day we officially lost it a little bit.
Perhaps I got overconfident after our lovely Saturday. First of all, our power went out for a couple of hours on Friday late afternoon, which fostered a seamless break between the telework week and the weekend. A real sign from God to stop talking to my boss, you know? From there, we switched to relaxing mode. And on Saturday, we tackled house projects: lots of laundry, vacuuming, organizing the bedroom, cleaning the kitchen, baking yummy treats. It felt like a normal, productive Saturday at home!
I highly recommend these.
But lo and behold, Sunday was when my irritability hit. I can admit that I am prone to a certain tone of voice that, as DN says, implies a “…you idiot” at the end of every sentence. I am working on it.
Well, I combatted my attitude by listening to a playlist of upbeat Flo Rida and Pitbull songs and hopping around the apartment while wiping down surfaces. Life changing! Now, Flo Rida and Pitbull might not be your cup of tea, but whatever the feel-good soundtrack, I do suggest you put it on at least once a week. The hopping helps too.
*Pitbull, from this gem about partying instead of paying one’s rent.

Hang in there and keep dancing!
I also did all my tasks on Saturday and then had nothing to do on Sunday. A good playlist is a definite way to lift to the spirits!
I laughed out loud at the tone of voice that implies a “you idiot” at the end of every sentence! It’s a Chamberlin talent 🙂 So far, I’m kind of loving this quarantine. I have made a work-space for myself in Chris’s room and I’m getting some deep cleaning done. But I think the DH is getting cabin fever…and I worry a little about being clonked on the head by a frozen steak, if you know what I mean 🙂
I agree about the Chamberlin talent, although it’s one that I sometimes flatter myself to think hasn’t been passed down to me, but sometimes this week I’ve found it coming out, and I’ve only been staying indoors for a week!
