Quarantine Diary, week five

Monday. Apr. 13

I had to pick up a few things at the grocery store this morning, so I went out a little before 10 AM. It was pretty empty, but they didn’t have much on the shelves. It looks like Monday isn’t a good day to go.

I really miss going to the botanical garden. It’ll be one of the first places I go when it reopens. I also miss going downtown, visiting Chinatown, North Beach, and the waterfront. I even miss riding the subway.

I watched a few of the N Judah busses pass and they were pretty full. It doesn’t seem very safe to be riding them now.

Today was very warm and sunny, so I went for a walk around the neighborhood. People seemed better at social distancing, and every time we pass on the street we do a little distancing dance where we each step to the other side.

I always check Walgreens whenever I pass it, and today they were well stocked with TP and other paper products.

Wednesday, Apr. 15

I had a 4 hour virtual “onsite” interview, using Google Hangouts, CodeSignal, and Zoom. There were a couple of glitches with Zoom, being unable to connect and getting kicked off before the meeting ended. I don’t think I did as well as I should.

I made red beans and rice for dinner in my Instant Pot.
