schneefinkI'm getting used to working from home and it's actually going better than expected: yes I keep getting distracted by things and it's very annoying to only have my laptop with its small screen which leads to my posture being bad and that I can't print things etc., but I have my own desk in a different room and I set an alarm to make sure I drink enough and I have cookies.
But today the internet was so slow that I was thrown out of the connection every few minutes, and even when it worked everything took three times as long as usual, and it was frustrating >.< Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow. I have quite a few hours to make up from last month.
DD and I went for a short walk today - we're very lucky to live in an area where we can easily do that, broad sidewalks and not many people around but there is a lot of green – and just being able to walk for a short while felt great, instead of sitting all the time. I'm sure it was good for my eyes too, I currently spend even more time than usual looking at a screen.
And tomorrow is market day! The "market" here is two stalls outdoors, so even better for distancing than the supermarket. DD would prefer not to go grocery shopping every week, and strictly speaking we don't need to, but I forgot to get eggs and of course we have to have eggs on Easter Sunday. So we'll go to the market and get eggs and fresh fruit and vegetables, I don't think I've ever looked forward to going to the market this much.
I painted my nails again: bright green - dark red - green - red - green on my left, and dark red - dark blue - light blue - dark blue - dark red on my right. I also convinced DD to do hers and she made herself claws, with blood running from the tips (and on the right side she painted them black underneath), looks great.

I also painted my nails! They are silvery-grey with SPARKLES now and they look quite neat. That's the upside of being less in the workshop than normal I guess: the polish keeps longer. :}
