Corona Diary: Simplify

written by Jana May 6, 2020

SIP Day 47, wearing a black sleeveless top and black stretchy pants, writing while sitting on the floor my home office; 93 degrees outside today

Started running the A/C during the day, as it’s hard for us to focus in our afternoon meetings while sweaty. I hadn’t really realized how much of a respite the office environment usually offers in summer, until this week.

I’ve been having a craving to simplify. Some tasks in that vein:

  • Unsubscribe (again) from emails from every company that I’ve ever purchased an item from or any website that required registration for access.
  • Give away more of my books (local Little Free Libraries, I will be coming to visit you soon)
  • Clear out my kitchen cabinets of all the odds and ends that tend to congregate there, especially the junk drawers and cupboards near the kitchen sink

Another thing that happened today: I published my first Medium article. It will likely only appeal to lit-nerds like myself, but it made me happy to write this piece: “I Prefer Not to”: Post-COVID Life Lessons Learned from Herman Melville

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
