I'm not quite sure if everyone has a soul. Some people might be pretending by reflecting the humanity they see in others. Also, come back this Saturday for #sadderday. It is sure to be **chef's kiss**. Actually being sad adds a little extra "oomph". Photo by fotografierende from Pexels. Words organized by me. #haikusday #millennialAF #kayenjee

There are phases to being quarantined/working from home. They are as follows: 1. Relief: You don't have to wake up early, take off your pajamas, or get kid(s) ready for school, drive to work, or talk to other humans in real life. This phase is fleeting because one day you wake up and realize your home is in shambles. 2. Productivity: With all this extra time (and more hands on deck) you can tackle anything, including the mounting backlog of responsibilities caused by your torpor. During this phase, you set a morning alarm, get fully dressed including shoes, regularly perform basic hygiene, and maybe do something with your hair. You'll start encouraging the other members of your household to do the same. After all, we're a team! The proof is in the pudding. Housekeeping - done. Home improvements - Done! Enrichment activities with kids - DONE! Passion project(s) - started.... 3. Desperation: At this point, the wheels haven't fallen off the bus, but you can definitely feel them wobbling. You can't keep up with the pace you've set in the last phase so you gradually start giving up on doing anything. You may revert back to a "low manipulation" approach to beauty. Basic hygiene will usually be done, but only if you feel like it. What are the kids doing? Don't know, but they're probably fine. Binge watching may begin in this phase. You can be sure you are in the "desperate" state when the compulsion to go into the general population overwhelms you. You convince yourself that there is something, a soup ingredient or lawn fertilizer or art supply, that simply cannot be procured online. You believe you must brave the pandemic and public foolery to acquire the item. Ask a trusted friend or relative to help you during this difficult time...but probably remotely. 4. Contentment: The fourth phase offers a bittersweet resolution wherein you accept your circumstances, but only because misery loves company and you have LOTS of it. The good news is, by this point you're able to muster enough energy to get dressed enough to work remotely and take pretty OK care of your beauty and hygiene requirements at a minimal level. Also, you forgive yourself more readily for not cooking every single meal and leaving dirty dishes in the sink. Photo by Vinícius Vieira ft from Pexels.
