Day 1

Lunch break post.

So today is the first real day of working from home. Home for me means a two-bedroom apartment with one bathroom but tons of space compared to what many of my colleges at The New School have as NYC residents. My family is here with me: my husband, my 10-year-old son, and two guinea pigs. Meet Shadow and Oreo. If you have never had guinea pigs, they are very peaceful and clean animals.

I am lucky that my husband is fully responsible for our son in terms of homeschooling and entertainment (schools are closed as of today).  We are big fans of Mathletics. It's fun, self-explanatory, and gets your child to love Math. 

Good news. Zoom works. In fact, zoom works great. We had two meetings today, and I was impressed by the quality of sound and video. My colleagues are amazing as they continue to work hard to make sure The New School students are provided with services they need. 

Tip of the day: subscribe to one of online workout programs. My personal favorite is Beachbody. All kind of workouts from beginner to advanced. Tons of Yoga, Pilates, etc. I have just resubscribed the gym in my building got shut down. 

Stay safe and healthy, everybody!
