The weather is getting nicer. After about 20 yrs, I finally got the back yard fenced in. Soon will be able to open the back door and kick the dog and kids out. Not have to worry about them as much. The kids in the back yard leaves my front yard open to more planting. I am looking forward to gardening this year.
I also am taking a sign language class on line. Hope to get that done this week.
Wish everyone a good day.

I wish I had a backyard. I miss having my own outdoor space. We'll see how the housing market goes with this shutdown. We're hoping to buy a house in the fall.
Where are you learning sign language online? I would love to learn too!
-
What are you doing?
I am cutting out face masks to sew for our local hospital. The patients are now receiving masks from the hospital.
-
I worked from home anyway so it's still business as usual, just not as much of it, so I have more time to do household things.
-
It sounds like you're keeping yourself busy with fun things! I am going to read up on gardening and see about buying a raised garden bed (can't get down on my knees due to arthritis). I just don't know if it's too late in the season, though maybe there are some veggies that can be planted in the next few weeks. I'm not sure, because I've always had a black thumb. Maybe I'll have more success with a veggie garden than I did with houseplants, LOL! :peace: :heart:
-
We are under lock down where I live.
I have lots of time to learn new things.
And that is what I am doing!

Kind of funny but I seem to be busier now than I was prior to the outbreak. My third job has disintegrated until the outbreak is over and, although they have been offering side jobs, I have been declining their kind offers so that others that depend on the cash can continue to work. My daytime job has been busier and my night time/weekend job has been steady. My part time job closed for a day but I made up for the loss. I have helped a neighbor with his business and my try to incorporate this into my weekly routine because it gets me out from behind my desk. I have been providing support to my father who is in the hospital with double/bi lateral pneumonia. I have also been doing larger projects around the house like putting a flagstone patio in my front yard and I have plans to expand my waterfall in the next few weeks.

I am learning sign language from IOA. purchased through Groupon. I don't know if it counts for anything other than just having a certificate for passing the class. It's fun and interesting.

I wish it was easier to post responses in a way to answer each person in as to their post. So I will try it this way.
1imaninarygirl. The sign language is from a course from IOA that I purchased through Groupon. I don't know that it counts for any college credits but it's fun.
jkhanson That is so amazing for you to do that. I don't have any talent to do something like that. Thank you
pectacon. I thought once I was able to work from home I would have the time to do more household things. I have the time but no ambition.
gtdoss I like trying to see what I can grow from scraps. I have a pretty good grasp on that now. It is also very fun and rewarding. I was able to grow broccoli from store bought food. Other things also. The broccoli impressed me.
ancmetro I do like to learn new things. As long as I am not tested on it.
Tressbn00 sorry about your Dad. Wish him well. Sounds like you are a very busy person. Take time to enjoy some relaxing things also.

I am listening to Dave Ramsey while contributing to our glorious forum (go FC!) and working remotely using two computers. Multi-tasking at its best, LOL.
-
vg7405 Who is Dave Ramsey. I think it's great that people can work from home.
-
I went for a walk last week and my legs and feet were sore because I haven't been going outside. So a few days ago I started exercising. It's been refreshing!
-
Today, I am finishing up six face masks that I made for my daughter who will need them when she goes back to work. I'm also having some up close and personal time with "How to Crochet" videos. My grandson requested that I make some creatures from the Plants vs. Zombies game. I am a knitter, not a crocheter, and I was able to find knit patterns for the pea shooter and sunflower, but I haven't been able to find a knit pattern for the zombie, only a crochet one. I've done a little crocheting before, but it feels like I'm learning a new language. Wish me luck!
-
We finally got some warm weather here again so I've been able to hang around outside today!
-
We went to my mother-in-laws to put our her patio furniture and plant a few flower pots. Got groceries with our masks on. Started working on the garden this week. Its the one thing that saves me from an epic meltdown.

What difference does it make if it counts for anything? If you have the knowledge....
A few years ago I was working a 2nd part time job and was taking some courses online learning some computer software. I remember a girl snarling at me saying what good is it. It does not count for anything. I may not have gotten a degree, I did get a certificate, but most importantly I got the knowledge. I learned how to do something with computers that I did not previously know.
-
Not doing much of anything. Can't go anywhere but around my house due to the stay at home/stay safe. So for today I may paint the bathroom. And I hate painting
-
We are able to get out and garden, and do some paper crafts. I do seem to have more to do with us being home all the time.
-
Currently, I am working on my survey websites and preparing to develop a video diary that I want to post on my Instagram account. :)
-
Not doing to much different then before the corona virus. In a wheelchair so home a lot anyway. Have the tv,books and tablet so keep busy. Glad I have a book I really like. Should read more and less tv but more fusioncash.
-
I love going outside when the weather is nice! I enjoy going on walks!
-
We are in the middle of building a 999 square foot house for my parents, also doing yard work, getting a garden started, we have twins graduating so I am on the senior parent council & am fundraiser chairperson, I also have an 8th grader home so we have lots of fun with homeschooling too!
Yeah, I am a tad busy!
-
It's been nice and breezy here.
-
I'm helping my son with a garden in the backyard as well as cutting grass like usual. I'm volunteering at the soup kitchen two days a week to feed the homeless. I only help prepare the lunches and someone else pass them out so I don't really have contact with them.
-
I am watching TV, listening to music while completing surveys. Just kick back relaxing.
-
I have a lot more time now to do surveys since I can't go any place anymore. Just trying to make and save as much money as I can. You never know when you might need it.

I am watching some professional wrestling videos and working on my survey websites.

-
I have been trying to be as productive as possible. I've cleaned every closet and drawer in my house. I've read 6 books. I've been doing at home boot camp workouts 5-6 days a week. Even though I still physically go to work every day, I have much more free time while at home because there's nothing to do. I thrive on being productive!!
-

Tomorrow, I am going to go outside and try out some skates I bought a couple years ago! I'm excited!

You are doing laundry online lol? I do not see the need to "sanitize" in my home. I clean the same as I always did.
Some guys were putting a roof on my neighbor's place and caught me outside and was telling me how my gutters need to be cleaned out and my house needs to be pressure washed. lol Trying to drum up business. I told him I an do those things myself. I think that made him sad. He kept coming up with things that they could do.
-
Today I am watching videos in a course I'm taking teaching the ins and outs of the Ketogenic Diet/Lifetstyle.
-
Taking the sign language class online is really awesome. It made me think that I could do more than watch tv and eat LOL if I put my mind to it.
-
The garden mostly planted. Beans, radishes, and beets are sprouting. Tomatoes and peppers are planted but protected with coffee cans. Doing some weeding today and cleaning the fish tank. Waiting for the sun to come out.

We had a cold snap and I think it killed some of our plants even though they were covered. Maybe I should have put little jackets on them. lol

Just on FusionCash for a bit trying to earn some money since all the places around me are still closed

-
Boy some of you guys are doing some neat things, I am just trying to learn how to get my work from home done with everyone around all the time. LOL
-
I decided to set up shop outside on the patio table to do Fusion Cash and pay some bills online. What a great day it is here and it feels so good just to be outside.
-
I am currently working on one of my survey websites while cleaning my bedroom and listening to music. I love to multitask, LOL.

vg7405 Who is Dave Ramsey. I think it's great that people can work from home.

Currently, I am binge watching on 90 Day Fiance. :)
-
I am during surveys, watching a movie, and drinking Brisk Tea. :D
-
Today I have the day off of my job, so I am enjoying the great summer weather. I have set up my laptop outside under the patio umbrella and am doing monthly paperwork and paying bills.
I would much rather be floating on a floatie at the lake......but maybe later!
Summer is too short!
-
I'm on the couch, watching my favorite Minister and doing FC ;)
-

I feel you! Cleaning is always the hardest to push myself to do.
-
I'm doing alot more yard work etc.
-
Watching a lot of YouTube. Also trying to get 30 posts in have 29 so close. Been watching to much tv. Did have my son visit this weekend that was nice. He works at a food bank and says they have had as many as 1200 cars come by for food. Steph curry from the warriors came by and donated 200000 dollars worth of food. Good people.
-
I'm happy to say I got a few green beans and a tomato from my garden in the back yard. Some of the items don't really like these high temps and are not producing but I get excited if I see some growth. I grew flowers from seeds for the first time and they finally bloomed. I'm getting supplies to make a raised garden since I will be home due to this virus.
-
I got off work early today and had high hopes of grabbing an inner tube and going to the lake to just float and relax. It had been 80s all day.
As I walked to my vehicle, it started sprinkling! By the time I drove several blocks, it was a downpour. The water was running curb high in the gutters and semi-flooding the intersections because it was coming down so hard.
Forecast says it will be sunny in an hour or so!
-
Making masks is an awesome idea. I don't have a sewing machine. I haven't sewn since before I had my first child. I think I forgot how to do it.
-
Watching Pluto TV at 2:45 in the morning
-
Just kicked back taking it easy and basically relaxing on this special day.
-
I'm watching the Virgin Suicides
-
Congrats on your fence, my sister is in the process of building hers.
-
I'm just resting until the kids come home, enjoying the peace but also kind of lonely.
-
Im just making facemasks and exploring other things to start making. Cant work and like to keep busy.
-
Sounds exciting, good luck on not falling lol JK if you do just get back up. I haven't skated in years, this is definitely a time of rediscovering one self.
Tomorrow, I am going to go outside and try out some skates I bought a couple years ago! I'm excited!
-
Me too! I'd love to sit out on it with a good book, jazz, and a cold drink while the sun sets.
I too wish we had a backyard. We just have a little balcony to sit out on.
-
I just finished cleaning the fridge and steaming veggies and now I'm making this quota and watching Fatal Attraction.
-
I am watching MY 600 LB Life, Online etc
-
I am having a great time with the garden this year. I guess with more attention it is going like crazy. Tomatoes, beets, peas, beans, peppers, squash..so yummy to eat fresh and freezing a lot too.
-
Patiently waiting for my son to move my recliner back downstairs so I can upgrade this kitchen chair to something more comfortable. He sold my lift chair yesterday that I no longer need and concluded a successful strategy to solve the problem I bought it for at minimal cost.
After I came home from my surgery and recovered a little, my recliner was comfortable, but I could not get out of it without lots of help. The lift chair let me push a button to stand me up and worked great for a few months, but it cost me $200 even for a used one. To complete the story. we sold it yesterday for $150 and reduced my net cost to a $50 rental over several months.
-
I am doing more biking with my son outdoors and more walking outside as well.

Sounds good. Kind of miss my yard and gardening but less work for me now.

Today I returned home from a few days at my daughter's house. She and her husband just had their 2nd baby on July 4. I went over and watched their 2 year old and helped out with what ever tasks my daughter wanted help with.
Since it was gorgeous out when I got home, I unpacked my bags, grabbed my son and the floaties and we went to the lake for a relaxing hour.
-
Well I just got home from the store so I am listening to my son fuss about not being able to fit everything in the freezer. This may not be LOL exactly what you meant but that is what I am doing right now.
-
I am working from home, today is Friday and I hope I won't have much to do.
-
i am still working my normal m-f job and playing volleyball three night a week
-
With the Weather getting nicer and we live on a lot of Land, we are planting the biggest Garden. Hopefully it will do very well where we can can some of our Veggies and give to the rest of the Family.
