Hey! You! I want to hear about the things you're doing or learning while self-isolating at home for the next however many days. Tell me about your projects, artwork, workouts, model kits, cleaning techniques, whatever!
Today, I've been working on an entirely scratch-made chicken tikka masala. That meant a garam masala and tandoori masala spice mix, garlic/ginger paste, a basic curry sauce, and chicken marinade. I've just got to BBQ the chicken skewers later and make the finished sauce! After that, I made a sourdough starter and am excited to bake my first loaf in several days!
I've also set up a little schedule for when to check my e-mail, be productive, etc. and found some specific exercise routines I want to do - yin yoga in the mornings, and strength or cardio in the afternoon/evenings. Apparently I want to emerge from my house as an extremely fit chef at the end of this!
What're you choosing to work on for the next while?
(Sidenote, if we can try to keep things positive in here that'd be great - there's already enough to be anxious about in the media and I'd rather see folks' silver linings.)

I may try to follow along with a Bob Ross episode.
I'm going to make bread until I'm good at making bread. I may try making a cake from scratch as well. I have always used a box-mix like a scrub.
Also a looooot of Animal Crossing.

What does this mean for me? Time. Time to write more of my novel that has been gathering dust, time to focus on physical training (stomach and back mainly), and time to play roleplaying games! You’d be surprised but most folks are up for it, and I’ll no doubt have a one-shot set up by Thursday for six players!
Today I called and got my car payment deferred a few months as part of their disaster relief program, considering that an accomplishment
I've got a library book I've been putting off finishing, but mostly I've been digging in to TV: A few episodes into Resistance, the last Star Wars show I haven't seen; watching Garo (finished the first series, slowly working through some movies before I move on to the second), finally seeing what all the Schitt's Creek hype is about (just finished season 3). In addition to my weekly shows
Marvel's Outlawed thing finally starts tomorrow and I've been very excited for it. My shop said they're doing curbside pickup-- though that was before the order to close nonessential businesses went out, so we'll see
... also I may or may not have just written to a Leonberger breeder << >>

So instead I'm going to spend the day writing up curriculum maps for classes I could conceivably teach in the future.
-- 20th Century History Through Film
-- US History [Colonies to Reconstruction]
-- US History [Gilded Age to Modern Age]
buddy I got some to spare iff'n yer lookin
I took my first commission job a week or so back, painting the full collection of Gwar's minis from their Rumble in Antarctica game, because fuck yes, it's awesome.
Just finished Oderus last night, minus his sword.
Also Ring Fit and having some exercise equipment. Exercise is always good and being home all the time makes it easier to make sure you fit it into the day.
Also if you can going out for walks is nice! Doing it in the morning and evening is a good way to separate a day.
Oh! And sleep way more. Actually sleeping for the time you need makes a lot of stuff way easier.

I have a huge bin of fabric I’m itching to turn into more clothes and maybe a new bag
I have a lot of yardwork to do; now that we’re emerging into spring my poor yard is looking so barren and weedy. I planted Indian plum and Salal and wild ginger and kinnikinnick this weekend and I assembled a giant bed I need to position and fill
Also my pile of books and games is pretty immense
@Moriveth baked bread with the kiddos over the weekend and I was remarking that we need to teach them more kitchen skills! Especially after seeing my friends’ 7 year olds making whole meals.
I have played a bit, though. Also I preordered Animal Crossing (and Doom Eternal)

So yeah
- laundry,
- cleaning,
- catching up on odd paperwork and things like taxes,
- playing a mix of CoD Warzone and Witcher 3,
- prison workouts,
- relentless Tinder swiping,
- DIY motorcycle maintenance,
- watching the YouTube backlog of Jelle's Marble Races
Many many rubbings of linseed oil and it will get nice and buttery yellow

Though I am sadly unsurprised to see the number of folks I run into with [MAGA] or [TRUMP] clan tags
My wife is still at work while almost everyone else in her office (about 50) is working from home. She can walk to work so she's holding down the fort with 1 or 2 other folks. It's possible their whole organization will send everyone home, in the next few days which would be nice.
Literally the only change is I can't take my son to community things like preschool and playgroup and stuff, or city run things like the library or the pool. They're also advising against using playground equipment which suuuucks. So we're going for walks everyday (thank god the weather just turned nice). He's only 2 so he's not completely freaking out with boredom, he's usually cool to just play with toys while the tv is on in the background. I am relating to this tweet with my entire soul
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
let's all hum that one rights-free loop of Old McDonald has a farm in reverence
Shes been hurtin for Australian content lately though so can't blame her.
I was vaguely hoping that since I could do it solo that I could go flying, but that got nixed with the Bay Area's soft lockdown.
This has demolished my podcast backlog. Gonna have to dig into more audiobooks by the end of this.
But also just a lot of my standard stuff - I semi-regularly worked my job from home already, so while I absolutely miss the outside world, there are parts of it that don't feel too different yet. If my partner ends up having to stay home as well, that might change things, but currently her work is deadset on having people come in (even though they absolutely should not be).
Yeah I’ve been jerkin it a lot too
