Quarantine Diary, week 7

Monday, Apr. 27

As expected, the shelter in place order was extended through the end of May.

I finally got my unemployment payment, and I took another coding challenge today.

Tuesday, Apr. 28 — Wednesday, Apr. 29

The days have been pretty uneventful. I’ve been trying to go for a walk around the neighborhood to get some exercise every day.

I spoke to someone who told me their office will remain closed until September.

Thursday, Apr. 30

This morning I went to the grocery store and found that it wasn’t too crowded and it was well stocked with most items.

I found a tube-type face mask I like that’s much more comfortable and breathable than the other ones and it doesn’t steam up my glasses as much. I worry that it doesn’t provide as much protection since it’s only one layer of material, but they told me it’s acceptable when I went to the grocery store.

I had another technical phone interview this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Desi is acting a lot more crazy than usual. Last night as I was getting into bed, she attempted to jump from my bed to the dresser, lost her footing, knocked down a lamp, and landed on my foot with her claws out. I screamed so loud she ran away.
