1. Are you an essential worker? Well, not really. I work for an essential service industry - but I can do my work remotely from home. (ie. They don't need me to physically be present to manage contracts and procure things - I can do that on a computer.)

2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started?

Not many. I was only able to snag a couple of wine spritzers and a small vodka bottle - the vodka lasted maybe the first week (it was VERY small and the equivalent of maybe two drinks?) So all together - four drinks, two wine spritzer's left. Very hard to get alcohol deliveries in my neighborhood.

3. If you have kids... are they driving you nuts?

No. Don't have them. But the kids upstairs, I was considering murdering a moment ago. At least I think they are kids - it could be adults racing about, you never know.


4. What new hobby have you taken up during this?

I'm working remotely from home - from 8-4PM, and have to keep track of what I'm doing. No time for new hobbies. Current hobbies are fine. I meditate, I write, I watch television...

5. How many grocery runs have you done?

I'm thinking three, possibly four. I have a food delivery service - Imperfect Foods that's mission statement is to combat food waste and ensure there's enough food for everyone. They get the stuff that doesn't go to the restaurants. That said there are items they do not have - so I did do four grocery store runs over the last 27 days. Also been ordering things from Amazon.


6. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine?

No. I'm not overly social.

7. Are you keeping your housework done?

For the most part - I'm allergic to dust and mold - so I have to vacuum occasionally, clean the shower, and I made up the bed. Laundry however, I am procrastinating - because it's dangerous now.

8. What movie have you watched during this quarantine?

Several - let's see, Doctor Dolittle (do not recommend), Rise of Skywalker (not bad, I enjoyed it), Darby O'Gill and the Little People (again it worked for me), Robin Hood - animated version, and The Aristocrats (animated version).

9. What are you streaming with?

At the moment Disney + and Hulu. I've grown weary of Netflix and Amazon.

10. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby?

No.

12. What's your go-to quarantine meal?

Sigh. Really? I don't really have one. Been doing a lot of salad, chicken, sausages, oatmeal, kind of eating the same as before - mainly because of grocery store runs and deliveries.

13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid?

No. Cautious maybe, paranoid, no.

14. Has your internet gone out on you during this time?

No. Fingers crossed, knocking on wood. If it went out - that would be VERY VERY bad.

15. What month do you predict this all ends?

Thinking July or August at the moment from all the Governor briefings that I've seen.

16. First thing you're gonna do when you get off quarantine?

Assuming I haven't done it already? Laundry. Ugh. No, I probably will have done it by then - considering that I'm contemplating braving the basement and doing it on Thursday. So, I'm guessing going back on a subway and back to work.

17. Where do you wish you were right now?

Somewhere in the country with a lots of open space and plants. Also plenty of trees.

18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most?

Being able to go to various food stores - such as whole foods or Union Market, or seeing a movie in a theater or seeing friends.

19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer?

No, I'm well supplied at the moment. I think I'll last until July at least. Hand Sanitizer - not really using as much - since I don't leave the apartment that often or go that far.

20. Do you have enough food to last a month?

Yes.

21. What item have you run out of besides patience?

I keep running out of chocolate and having to replenish the supply. I also ran out of the CBD gummies I like - which is annoying.

Actual "trumpery" means "nonsense." You can look it up. It's just a happy coincidence that the first five letters are the same as...
