Social distancing, trivia

[schneefink]

I have now listened to Tarantella-Coronatella about two dozen times, not sure if that's a good sign (but it might be good for my Russian, at least?)
And isis collected some coronavirus humor which I enjoy a lot. Sometimes I have to laugh about things.

DD and I have completely opposite reactions to the pandemic when it comes to food: DD currently wants to eat extra healthy, to the point of avoiding salt and oil and of course sugar, while I suddenly want meat and cheese, and of course chocolate and fruit etc.
I was planning to at least keep running regularly, but it snowed today (for about an hour but still, snow! we had twenty degrees a few days ago!) so I decided to be lazy.

I still haven't found time, or more accurately brainspace, to read any books. I keep distracting myself with mostly news, and some fic, and my ability to concentrate is, uh, has been better. Same with my ability to interact with people, and my study progress, and work. But the schedule on Friday seemed to work, we'll see. Overall I think I'm doing pretty well, considering! Thinking of all of you, I hope you're okay.

Between you and DD, that's a balanced diet, right? :p

It's going to snow here tomorrow, when the day before yesterday was over 15C, I think. Odd to be semi-sharing a weather pattern!

Good luck with continuing your schedule.

Should be ^^

At least the cold should keep more people in their homes - I hope there won't be sudden warm weather around Easter, that might be too tempting for many.

Thanks :)

I've been listening to it a lot, too.

I'm finding reading a problem, too. Partly it's routine -- I read on my train commute, which I haven't had for the last 2+ weeks -- but partly it's also the brainspace thing, as even when I do have time to read, I mostly want to reread my comfort reads...

Yeah, I usually read fic updates on my way to work and back, and now that doesn't happen, it's weird. And people keep reccing longfic, which is great but again, no time ^^

I'm leaning toward your food preferences as well. This is the first time in a few years I've purchased nutella... and have already popped it open.

I'm trying to use books to distract from /handwave/ all that. I retreated to some cosy mysteries & old classics (Discworld) for some though.

I bought myself cookies. They're very good. This week I might buy more cookies.

It's definitely a good time for comfort reads :)

Things are quite chaotic right now, even if it's not always visible chaos. I think I'll join you in craving the less-than-extra-healthy kind of food because mmmmm chocolate <3 I can sympathize with it getting hard to focus and interact right now, because chaos. Sending good thoughts your way!
