As we are adopting our new normal of everyone being home at the same time and no places to go, how can we be normal? We are just not experience professionals anymore, as usual we are going above and beyond with this. Now we are teachers, store keepers (those kids can eat when they are stuck at home!), quality control manager, auditor and accountant for toilet papers and paper towels, chef on demands and most importantly the mixologist. We have a lot to be proud of everyday with all these new skills. If you get bored, here are some ideas for you:
• Try reading all the new memes online. Memes world is still active & very creative.
• Try out your new mixology skills and make a Quarantini, Stay Homejito, Emergency-C Island Ice Tea, Distance Mule, StayIn Colada or an In & Tonic.
• How about puzzles, dinosaur bingo or the WebEx Meeting Bingo?
• Try to make DYI hand sanitizer - its okay if it turns out to be rum & coke.
• Setup a WUI checkpoint between kitchen and the hallway then give your other half an hefty ticket for walking under the influence.
• Have you thought about watching that "Tiger King" show on Netflix?
There is an ongoing internet jokes about alcohols and there even some prediction that we all will come out of this quarantine either a great chef or an alcoholic needing of AA. But I would say, 100% of us will return to work, school and social life with perfect hand-washing skills and on point happy birthday singing voice. Plus all the “new normal” to look forward to— like if we all behave and follow the rules then we might able to keep the drinks To-Go. Or maybe our happy hours will start with breakfast and able to pour wine in our cereal. And all the stories we can tell our children and grandchildren about being quarantine. So be the best social distancer you can.
