Self-imposed sourdough week continues with waffles! It’s almost the weekend which means it’s a great time to break out your sourdough starter to make these. Working from home somehow makes me look forward to the weekends more than usual.

I still try to maintain my regular schedule as if I were going into work to help me stay motivated to actually do work. I shouldn’t complain about having a job right now but it is difficult working from home.

As a scientist, working from home is not exactly as easy thing. On a regular non-quarantined day, I spent more time in the lab working at my bench than I do sitting in front of my computer. And with a strained tendon in my wrist, this extended computer time is not fun.

So what am I doing if I am not doing experiments? Planning virtual meetings with the lab, organizing notes, updating my lab notebook, read other research papers, analyzing previously collected data, but mostly I am working on my next research paper.

Thankfully I was looking for more down time to write it but didn’t realize I would get 8 hours a day to solely focus on it. Like I said above I can only sit here and type for so long, so I try to break it up with reading other papers or any other little task that pops up.

Then at night I get to work on the computer some more updating this blog of mine! With Bob out of work now I may try to train him to do some of the background stuff to help expedite the process. If he could master SEO for me that would be some serious silver lining.

Other than that, we continue to attempt to go about our normal lives as much as possible. Although lately we have been mindlessly watching whatever is on TV without paying much attention to it. I think a game night is in order or a night by the firepit when it warms up a bit more!
