Alright everybody, no more excuses. You're gonna be stuck inside for either weeks or months, your dumb make-work job has laid you off, and you can't waste your time in bars anymore. What are you gonna do that you've been putting off forever? Books, projects, new skills, etc.

I’m a software developer so I’ll will be WFH. 

Hoping to read more and get back into working out. Maybe write that book idea I had about a teenage atheist being discriminated against by a christian college. 

Otherwise, probably video games, tv, weed, and booze. I’m glad I gave up eating out from restaurants for lent.

I'm gonna start cam girling as Marie Kondo in cosplay to raise funds while I clean up the apartment and simplify my life. Schedule is Tue-Wed-Thu-Sun 5am PT start till whenever I'm sick of all this shit.

Seriously, I got a lot of crap I just need to reorganize and rid myself of. So I'm gonna take this time as an opportunity to finish what I started last year. Except instead of selling anything I'm just gonna get rid of it and donate what I can. The idea being 1) I get rid of it quicker 2) no need for unnecessary contact.

I'm also gonna give the indoor cycling a shot again. Shit hurts my ass so much, but I can't do much about that when I need to be active.

For now no confinement yet, so work, but in case :
- Finally sort my flat and all the papers I've been negligent about.
- Write messages to friends and acquaintances.
- Start reading again, I have a ridiculous backlog, podcasts and Netflix is gonna get old fast. I have my eyes on a quick Crunchyroll sub to see JoJo part 4 and 5 but now is as good a time as any to read again.
- Maybe use YouTube for some meditation or yoga shit.
- Practice Backgammon on my phone.
- Vidya I can still pick up Nobunaga's Ambition again.

Learn to cook a few dishes and just work/study as much as possible. My sleep pattern naturally goes to shit whenever I have a flexible schedule though but that's not a big deal.

Get my mitral valve replaced.

Learn how to make sourdough starter and use it for bread (I already learnt how to make rye bread sourdough starter last week, baking more rye bread tomorrow), go through some drawing instruction books I've got but have made excuses not to read, try to grow a lot of stuff from store bought fruit and veg indoors (I have mangoes, turmeric, ginger, sweet potatoes, avocado, papaya, basil, cilantro and scallions in various stages of development atm) and maybe learn how to use the editor in Dreams.

I'm jealous of people who live in warmer climates in their own houses with gardens who can just grow shitloads of stuff to eat. The things I'm trying to grow will mostly just become house plants if I'm successful, which is fine since I like plants and growing stuff, but maybe some I can use in cooking eventually. I should also get a bell pepper and some tomatoes and try to get them going. We're going to run out of room to put all of the plants though, I've already grown two avocados and we have actual store bought house plants too, it's gonna be a jungle in here lol.

I’ve got 100+ unwatched movies on Plex. Knocked that down by three today.

Like 400 unread books on my Kindle but don’t expect to put much of a dent in that.

Honestly it’s a matter of time before I get COVID because my GF’s a doctor, so she’ll probably give it to me. I’ll be happier once I’ve had it and don’t have to care about going out as much.

get through some cook books and learn some new recipes. all the restaurants are closed, and a number will likely be gone for good once this is all said and done. got some sourdough starter, will get back into that prob. usually i dont bother, there are so many great bread places around here, but being at home all the time may as well. stocked up on wine, made a few kilos of ragu, got a heap of coffee. going to keep diving on weekends and try improve my spear fishing. have a dive buddy i've been in contact with consistently so he's in my closed circle of people i can continue to see during this quarantine. dl'd a heap of movies too, got every tarkovsky and kurosawa film i haven't seen, and a bunch more off my watchlist ready to go. watched Vagabond (Varda) and Portrait of a Lady on Fire last night.

also hoping to just stay relaxed and keep my job :-[ working remotely for now. i maintain and develop features for a site that piggy backs on the collision repair/insurance industry. car repairs are designated as an essential service. we'll stay in business, but there are going to be significant layoffs in a few months i would imagine.

Here in NZ we've moved into a state of emergency and mandatory 4 week lockdown, so I've got a lot of time for self reflection and projects. I was already working remotely as a web dev so business as usual there.

I've finally started designing a new game, and the planning is very promising so far! Needa just brush up on my sprite slicing in Unity and I'll be good to go soon :hyper
