Here are the things I do on my nothing day: 

1. Work on my investments/trading (online)
2. Check email (online)
3. Do some Sudoku (online)
4. Weigh myself
5. Do my blog (this), at least recording my weight and journaling my food
6. Take a little walk
7. Do my Duolingo Spanish lessons
8. Check Facebook and Instagram (online - set timer, no more than 12 minutes on each)
9. Prepare and eat food
10. Have some video or phone conversations with friends
11. Watch TV
12. Meditate (I've been doing it at bedtime).

It doesn't look like nothing when you list it, right? And, with TV serving as either time-fill or background, I manage to make a whole day of it.

This is my pandemic. Since I returned to New York from Florida, I have done the above every day (except the walking part - but I try). There have been other activities, to be sure, but I don't think Ive missed executing the above list one day since mid-May.

Of course, there are variations, in terms of additional things that have to be done: Grocery shopping, doctor's visits, occasional meetups with friends, playing guitar (I haven't been playing bass much, at all - that's something I reserve pretty much for groups), and now, three-times-a-week cardio rehab. 

But these are occasional things. My day-to-day is as unexciting as could be, yet still enriching.

I'm grateful for the privilege of choice in activities, and for doing pretty much only the things I find enjoyable. I appreciate its rarity on this planet.

Diet Comment

I'm glad to post the loss, but really, I think I would have weighed the same as yesterday if I weighed in at the same time. Conversely, I think if I'd weighed myself at the usual time, I think this would have been what I weighed.
