United wishes and good will cannot overcome brute facts. Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it. But there it is. ~ Winston Churchill Another two weeks have gone by. I've had some vacation days, but am still primarily working from home. In this state, businesses are now…Read more Working From Home: Week 18 and 19
Working From Home
Working from Home: Weeks 16 and 17
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~ Winston Churchill I missed last week's WFH post. Now that life is starting to take a new shape, we're getting busier again. I must admit we like the slower pace of life. I'm…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 16 and 17
Working from Home: Week 15
Never, never, never give up. ~ Winston Churchill This is the first full week of June and yet this month seems almost over. Perhaps that's because I've adjusted to working from home and my ability to actually complete my to do list! It's fantastic being able to do some cooking while keeping up on my…Read more Working from Home: Week 15
A Better Tomorrow
"They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" ~ Braveheart Action movies are great in every culture. A Better Tomorrow is an outstanding Hong Kong action film. While it may seem like a hooky 80's action flick, it's number two on the 100 Best Chinese Motion Pictures. This movie may have boxy…Read more A Better Tomorrow
Working from Home: Week 14
Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old. ~ Winston Churchill Wow, what a week! Some places now have curfews this week to discourage rioting and looters. I fully support peaceful protests, but violence is not the answer. Our stay at home orders…Read more Working from Home: Week 14
Working from Home: Week 13
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path. Another week has passed. About one third of this state has been able to move onto Phase 2 of our safe start plan. Where we live is still in the shelter in place phase. It is definitely hard to see parts…Read more Working from Home: Week 13
Working from Home: Week 12
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. ~ Winston Churchill When I started using this title and updating the number, I really thought it was a boring title for a blog post. What's going to attract readers attention? Nothing! Now, it's the only way I can…Read more Working from Home: Week 12
Working from Home: Week 11
One always measures friendships by how they show in bad weather. ~ Winston Churchill Another week has passed. We are still in shelter in place or stay home, stay healthy. A few things have opened up for phase 1 of our safe start, but really not much will change before June and not even then…Read more Working from Home: Week 11
Working from Home: Week 10
Life is a challenge, we must take it. ~ Mother Teresa Another week has gone by. We're still working from home and social distancing and wearing masks and gloves and quarantining items as needed. Our stay at home orders have been extended through the end of May with some very limited restrictions being lifted. Different…Read more Working from Home: Week 10
Working from Home: Week 9
The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. ~ Tony Robbins Another week has passed. I'm amazed at how long the days feel. Sure, it helps the days are light longer now here in the PNW as we move to the summer equinox. We are still in shelter in place until May 4.…Read more Working from Home: Week 9
