Took a last shot at recycle box for my long friend -Smokey Joe.. πŸ™‚ This one travelled along with me from Ann Arbor, and went together numerous parks, camping sites, and been a good friend to cook all the meats we had during the years..

After crazy workloads and wears (sagging leg, and broken air control, and rusting grate) had to say good-bye to this good friend but hope he gets a renewed life to whatever it will be..

Chick-Fil-A To-Go

20200416_11352620200416_122422

Chick-Fil-A To go pickup – store is still crowded with drive thru although dining hall is closed. (you tell the staff at the door -blocked by table- then they hand it to you at the door.)

This was a totally opposite to the case I picked up the day before at local Thai restaurant (which is the hot spot for walking traffic form T-Mobile & I used to eat at there a lot) Store was dark not many to go orders and I could see the pain of survival in the restaurant’s staff’s face..

Sadly, this Stay At Home Order is impacting restaurants totally different ways – if store is driven by car traffic, looks like it is relatively holiding okay, but if the store is dependent on nearby foot/walking traffic, this must be a nightmare..

Milkie Milkie Bingsu Cafe at Edmonds – The Last Dessert Before Corona Shutdown

20200314_132947

Happen to visit here at last Saturday after grocery shopping (well it is more of restocking) and this dessert end up being the last dessert we had at cafΓ© (with ‘very distancing’ in the store) for foreseeable future period. -Just a day before governor’s order of restaurant shutdown.

Nice Bingsu with fine & crispy ice but their ice was not milk based, so I wondered why they are calling themselves as Milkie Milke

As US never opens up any infection source details of confirmed cases on Corona -only the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths by county with news of random people getting confirmations, I found myself feeling more nervous on being outside. Especially noticing the continued growth of confirmed case numbers (now Washington state just passed 1k) Now, I think the dessert I had at last weekend seems crazier & stupid idea than few days ago..

Also, after almost-two-weeks of ‘stuck at home’, staying at home feels more comfortable as fear of being outside becomes bigger than the challenges of ‘stuck at home’

Maybe this pandemic might end up creating lots of new 2020 Otakus who will refuse to get outside and stay at home with repetition of work & sleep after all things are settled.. (and I might be already one of those.. πŸ™‚ )

About a week of 100% WFH – I am so glad that I brought the extra monitor and mini bay to home to connect to my laptop πŸ™‚ long term WFH without extended monitor would have been a nightmare πŸ™‚

This longer term WFH has been imposing lot of fun challenges – had to face lots of messages and emails (which would have been a direct conversation at office) and extra emphasis on communication -which is always tough..

Back to continuous “in room” working and sleeping..:)
