'Twas a nice quiet weekend. The biggest (?) thing was finally finding a copy of Ring Fit Adventure for the Switch. As with their previous forays into exercise, this thing was no joke. I just did the first round yesterday, but found myself having to back off the intensity so I could get all the way through the level (running in place too quickly is a bit too tiring, even for this runner). Past that I enjoyed leftover cupcakes and generally being a lump around the house.

Today has been watching people ask me a question via email, then in the ensuing chain of back-and-forths, coming around to the proper answer before I have time to turn to it, research, and respond. Thank you, client offices, for making my job easier by doing it for me. LOL I get that sometimes you just need to put things in writing for them to start to make sense, but this was a bit silly.

Discovered yesterday that we can in fact cook sausage in the sous vide straight from the freezer, as long as you give it some extra cooking time. It's not quite crock pot easy, but if you set the stuff up in the bags before you freeze them, that's not a bad way to cook. Leftovers were very tasty for lunch today. And now that lunch is over, back to seeing if more clients have done my job for me. :)

I think this whole isolation thing is going to drive the husband much crazier than it will me. I've always been a home body, so I have plenty of things to distract myself. He, on the other hand, gets restless each day and wants to get the fuck out of the place and do things, so staying in is not his favorite thing. He's very stressed over what this is going to do to movie theaters, as that's one of his absolute favorite things to do.

Work has been okay, I'm gradually getting more questions, and becoming a bit more productive at home. I did get myself a standing desk stand, which has helped (the dining table's ergonomics aren't right. I haven't tried using it on the floor yet, but I'm sure that'll come eventually. Half the fun has been finding the right place to do the video chats so there's not a ton of backlighting from the balcony. I'm sure my coworkers are amused at some of the stuff we have on the bookshelves (giant statues of Storm and She-Ra, for example). They're used to seeing the Legos, because I have those all over my office, too. ;)

After my last call yesterday I retreated to my own deserted island over in the new Animal Crossing game for the Switch. The husband has been generous in letting me play it on the TV yesterday and today so far, though I'll be happy to play it in handheld mode when he'd like the big screen. It's been fun, and they've had a good balance so far of allowing a lot of progress in the early part of the game (compared to earlier versions), while still leaving you needing more things that will come later to fully explore the island. Big thumbs up there.
