My first attempt at something like this so it should be an interesting ride.
Tuesday (I think) 28th April 2020

I think it’s quite amusing that now we are all restricted to our homes and having to entertain ourselves, we start writing about our lives but the only thing going on is that we are locked up in our own homes with nothing going on.

I have been off work since the 23rd March and it seems a lot longer than that.

Going from a forty-hour work week to a week of trying to keep busy is a bit of a culture shock. This is the longest spell that I have ever had out of work in my adult life. (I’m 62)

Luckily, I am healthy and fit enough to go on a daily bike ride. That usually eats up at least two hours of my day. Then I try to keep busy writing emails and playing Football Manager 2020.

If anyone reading this plays FM20 please let me know. That game is so addictive.

Quite funny when I think about it. I walk home from Bevmo with 24 beers but a big bottle of detergent is too heavy to carry home from Walmart!

The fresh smell coming from the box didn’t bode well. I opened the box and my fears were realized. The liquid was slowly oozing out of the uncapped bottle soaking into the cardboard. Smells lovely but very messy. I have double bagged the whole mess and now working my way through the Amazon process of getting a replacement and returning the damaged bottle.

So I thought that I was being clever by getting Amazon to deliver the bottle but now I have to take it to my local UPS office to be returned.
It will put a bit of excitement into my day. But the journey will eat into my time playing Football Manager, hopefully today will be the day when my team……
