The briefs of confinement (1)

Who could imagine this situation one day? Honestly, I think I'm still in denial, even if I'm "in automatic mode" the obvious:hygiene measures first and social distancing now. I did not go to vote, also the first time that this has happened to me since I was 18. Not so much out of fear, because we were probably better off at the polling station than at the bakery getting walked on by the guy from behind who thinks it will go faster by sticking to you (he's still there). But out of disobedience to our policies and obedience to our scientists! Everything is closed, don't go out, but go vote... and buy your fags too... sorry, but I chuckle.

In short, here we are at home, with the teenagers, for these 1st day of school at home while teleworking. We'll get used to it. My anxiety at the announcement clearly focused on the fact that I was going to have to cook for lunch too. Because butter pasta is average every day anyway.

I found a fabulous occupation in any case and I want to share it with you. I received the teenager's new bed last Wednesday, bought from Alfred et Compagnie. 3 packages. We opened them yesterday… and how can I tell you… I think we have a week of editing. If we haven't swallowed by then the 400 screwed up screws in two plastic bags (get the hell out of it). Dozens of boards, screw holes not made, an incomprehensible manual… we sent one of our slaves (the 12 year old was designated) to our friends to borrow their electric screwdriver (the only outing of the weekend). Seriously, I'm disgusted. The bed that costs an arm is unmountable. So good, after 3 hours, we managed to assemble the frame and the slats of the bed base, the 15-year-old was able to sleep in her new double bed from Sunday evening, she was delighted... the lockers and drawers below will be for my 1st week of confinement!

On the college side… Le P’tit definitely has a great college (outside the contract, I remind you), he has been working from morning to evening, since yesterday. He is delighted. On the other hand, I have just done 30 minutes of philosophy with him. Descartes, Descartes… why were you worrying so much my friend… it did me good to put my neurons back on the road a bit, on the other hand, I'm not sure that the P'tit got a good mark on his homework . AH AH AH Can't wait to get it fixed!!

Teleworking when you are the director of a communication agency? Everyone has obviously been at home since Monday. We have the tools to continue. Customers for some are on break, alas, but it's very understanding... we will also try to pass the period by hanging on to the max. The subjects we are working on are cheerful, playful, we do not really see ourselves arriving with our great products to test with influencers… we will adapt there again. To keep vigil. Work on strategies (and philosophy between two for me and kindergarten and primary exercises for my partner).

On the health side, I've had micro symptoms since Friday, I'm psycho and I'm trying to stay calm because deep down, even if I'm a carrier, for the moment in any case, I'm doing very well AND I REMAIN CONFINED.

I am thinking of all those who watch over us. All these everyday heroes. From the doctor, to the caregiver of course, including the cashiers! Thank you to those who continue to supply our stores. Thank you for your many and indispensable sacrifices. I am not a believer but I know that many are praying for you and my heart is in it.

Take care of yourself, your loved ones. Don't mess around, follow the instructions. For you, for them.

See you tomorrow?!
