THE PANDEMIC DIARIES: SAMPLE Quarantine Schedule (in case you were needing a template)
Right off the bat, I confess that I stole the concept of this from a meme that floated by me today. I loved it so much and it made me laugh so I’ve made my own version.
7:30 wake up, realize it’s not all a dream and it’s still happening. Think about not getting up because… why?

8:10 go to kitchen, decide to eat healthy today
8:15 make strong cup of coffee, steel nerves for morning news

10:00 go for brisk walk to work off cookies
11:00 return home and open fridge, eat some chocolate while standing and staring
