How to Stay Healthy and Sane during the Pandemic (Day in the Life Working from Home | Trying to be Productive)

Checking in from the codex club home office. My husband and I set up our work stations in the dining room and are now 2 weeks into quarantine. Here are my tips of how to stay sane and healthy during this time, not because I’m an expert but because these have been working for me and I want to do anything I can to put positivity out there and be helpful at this time. 



Set a routine and keep to it. This has helped me so much, to continue waking up early when I would be working during the week, and have a to-do list that gives me a sense of accomplishment completing (mostly).



Read more! I always say when I have more time I'll read more. Now might be the perfect time to start the free month trial Amazon kindle gives you. So far I've been reading the 'Tao of Twitter', which is pretty engaging and shared a lot that I didn't know.



Exercise. Even if it’s just some planks, mountain climbers and jumping jacks over and over for 5 minutes, get sweaty. It’ll make your mind and body more alert.



Cook healthy food. I’m such a foodie, and enjoy having the time to cook for me and my husband when there’s time. Lately it feels healthier to cook the food I want at home- sausage and eggs in the morning, and fried rice at lunch for example. My neighbors brought over some leftover pork chops which made my day (in the doorway from six feet lol).



Something simple I recommend is having some water with sea salt and lemon in it during the day to keep from being dehydrated.



Filter your news. With the state of things right now it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed, and not all the facts will be correct, potentially because things are always changing. For me, it’s been helpful to mostly stick to the free NYT briefings you can get even without a subscription at this time (it seems pretty vetted).



Binge a favorite show. In the evenings with dinner, I’ve been watching the Mentalist on Amazon Prime, Tiger King on Netflix, and the Mandalorian on Disney+. It gives me again a sense of schedule and something to look forward to at the end of the day.

Honeymoon Day 6 Tokyo DisneySea

'

Our last day in Tokyo, we wanted to check out DisneySea, which is more geared for adults and more unique in ride offerings than Tokyo Disney nearby. It's also the cheapest Disney out there. We had an amazing time!

Honeymoon Day 3 - Hiking Mount Takao

Took the subway an hour out from Shinjuku on the Keio line to see Mount Takao for a nice day trip! We saw temples, monkeys, and Mount Fuji!

Honeymoon Day 2+4 - Shinjuku, Harajuku + Shibuya Crossing

Unusual Breakfast at Comfort Suites (00:59), LOVED the Shinjuku National Gardens (02:22), Tokyo Metro Government Building view of the city (06:41), Harry Hedgehog Cafe (08:59), Meiji Temple (11:01), Harajuku (11:38), Shibuya Crossing (11:49) Golden Gai for ramen (12:12), we did Karaoke but there's no evidence, Robot Restaurant (13:35) for a memorable performance. Got these kimonos at APA Hotel; had to channel Bill Murray.

VLOG - Traveling to Japan (Honeymoon)

November 13th, Mark and I traveled to Narita Airport Japan to start our honeymoon! The most useful things we packed were a Brita water bottle, emergen-c packets, and snacks/ meals to eat on the go. These all came in super helpful, so I'm glad we thought about them beforehand.



Also, we each only packed a personal item (backpack for him, beachbag for me), and rolling carry-on, because we were about to take 8 flights and didnt want to deal with checking or losing our luggage on one and be screwed out of having clothes for part of our trip. It made things super simple to just have it all within eyesight on the plane and forced us to stay in the moment. Yes, we did laundry a few times. But it kept us feeling free and when we did pick up things we needed it was truly part of the experience and from where we were in the world at that time.



It was snowing in Baltimore and 60 degrees Fahrenheit in Japan. We had a layover in Chicago, and got to hang out in the United lounge with some snacks and drinks before boarding out flight. Our flight to Japan was around 13 hours, and included a cute honeymoon dish from the attendants, on the biggest plane we've ever been on.



Our first meal super late was at a Denny's, where Mark got some sizzling Chicken and I got Pasta with Meat Sauce. And the next day is the next video: https://youtu.be/HjyBzzuPqi8
