This Is Staycation #LeanderStyle

[Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Eighty Nine]

All day today in Groningen, Netherlands, it hails and then the sun comes out and then it hails and then the sun comes out and then it hails.

Super surreal.

Kind of like how I am enjoying the next three weeks of staycation.

I code and then I #Netflix and then I code and then I walk and then I code and then I #Netflix and then I eat.

Super duper surreal.

But first the news:

Even if I DID want to go somewhere, it’s not possible, so . . . but if I were travelling, I’d want to do the same thing I’m doing now.

Except with the partner and kids.

Or maybe just alone.

I mean, love my family, but … I really like this alone time stuff, too.

Now if only I could somehow have an ocean and sand nearby.

And less hail.

Much less hail.

It’s hard to believe that the Dutch Lockdown started one year ago tomorrow.

But first the news:

Since I’ve been running at 100% with three interviews per day for three days now, today, with only one interview, was SUPER weird.

I picked up First Minion from school. And took him to his appointment. And folded clothes. And was a bit bored, if I’m honest.

I guess this is what unemployment is like?

I don’t like it.

It’s not official, but it’s officially leaked – the Dutch cabinet met yesterday to debate / discuss the lockdown and measurements – we’re getting three more weeks of lockdown.

“The Dutch coronavirus lockdown is ‘almost certainly’ to be extended by three weeks… there will not be any new measures announced on Tuesday.”

https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/01/lockdown-set-to-be-extended-but-new-coronavirus-case-total-is-going-down/

But first the news:

I expected this news, so I’m okay with it.

That’s what it comes down to, eh?

Expectations and perspective.

Yay?
