“normal” time to stick to a routine. With the extra time I’ve gained not having to drive or iron clothes, I enjoy cooking breakfast, making coffee and doing some stretching. Then I check email, audit and pay construction invoices, and enter weekly deposits. I am also engaging with embassies over billing matters involving international students.
I miss my office mates, but I can say I’ve also enjoyed lunches at home with my husband. After lunch, I make sure I have answered emails and I set priorities for the next day. Come evening, I either check YouTube for a fun aerobic or stretch video; get my craft supplies out; journal or color; read; or find a movie to watch. I've been been dabbling in polymer clay during the quarantine. My “dinobaby” – my first clay project while sheltering at home – sits next to my computer.

What tip would you pass on to other GCCCD employees?
I have enjoyed trying new recipes and having virtual happy hours with family and friends. Yes, we all would love to be able to visit each other in person, but at least we have a few hours connecting online.
