Many people in different states and countries have little choice but to stay home right now, so....

If you're stuck at home, what are you doing to pass the time? ....And if you're not stuck at home, what do you do to pass the time anyway?

Watching too much crap that's on Amazon prime, working from home, longing for the nice weather to come so I can go hiking.

I intend to read books and play that game that sounded interesting so I bought it but still haven't played it yet.

To misquote a comedian whose name I forget, "I've been watching a lot of Discovery and History Channel programming. The result is that I have learned a lot about sharks and I'm pretty sure that WW2 had something to do with that Hitler fellow."

I have a stack of books, writing projects to finish, baskets to make, and dinners to cook for two homestay students, who are housebound, and one young man in his 20s.
What did I end up doing? I desperately scanned the cable listings and ordering pizza.
Tomorrow though, oh boy, tomorrow I will create masterpieces and write a best seller! (Thank goodness tomorrow ends up always being today).
In truth, I cleaned my computer keyboard with q-tips and a water/vinegar mix, and for dinner I made corned beef, cabbage, peppers and cashew stir fry, rice and baked apples for dessert. I've also written a 10 minute, first line challenge story(those are so much fun), reviewed my will, and now I'm going to have a cookie.
And you Mr. Zero? What has filled your day? What is on the agenda for tomorrow?
 
I'm teleworking and working the same hours, so not much has changed. I do feel relaxed. I take breaks but I find the breaks at home more productive since I can cook or clean a bit. I have more personal calls during the day so I feel connected. I prefer eating at home for lunch.

I am glad you are at a good place with work, during this time.
 
Working on my cars, lifting weights, landscaping, tearing down an old storage shed, organizing/cleaning the house, throwing useless stuff away, cooking, relaxing with a drink (or 3), and counting rolls of toilet paper. *might be slightly kidding on the last one
 
Listen to Christian music, organize, clean, text and call friends and family, watch sports, play video games with my kids oh and 75 year old dad lol ( I got him a oculus quest for his bday and he loves it!), working from home when I get a chance... me and my coworker are the only ones in this building (he’s about 100 feet away) so it’s kind of like working from home :).

Having said that, if I am house-bound I'll probably fritter the time away with books, video games... There are a few songs that I have been wanting to make a soundtrack for, but I never can seem to get myself to start on one.
