Today was the first time in a few months that I fired up my personal laptop. It's been sitting on my desk, away from the work laptop, collecting dust. In fact, I had stacked stuff on top of it in a sort of "get it out of the way" pile so I could access my work stuff better.
I'm still working from home but I have definitely settled into it to a point where I honestly prefer it to going into work. There is so much craziness and stress going on due to the company I work for merging with another company that I'm glad to be away from it.
That being said, while work has been successful, I have realized I've settled into a "new normal". We've all settled into a routine around here that works and feels a little more permanent than I expected. But it got me thinking: "Is this the routine I wanted?"
It is in some respects. More things get done around the house during the week so I don't have to cram it all into a weekend. I've crocheted more projects in this time than I ever have. The time I'm getting with my nephews is awesome.
However, I had started out doing a lot of walking but that has stopped. I was also doing French lessons on Duolingo and I haven't done that in awhile either. And clearly I haven't been writing. Otherwise there would have been blog entries...
The company I work for has announced that they want to try to have everyone back in the office by the end of the month. Like everything else that's related to Covid, this is subject to change. I'm not sure what my new routine will look like but I know I don't want it to look like my pre-Covid routine. I never had time for anything pre-Covid and was constantly exhausted. There are things I want to keep from my current setup. The question is: What am I willing to change to keep what I want or lose what I don't want?
