Self-Isolation Day 12 - Work and School

Here's a base picture for book #1. I still need to paint it but it's getting there. Tonight I was able to complete the first draft of chapter 02.05, in which Liam and Malga travel to the wrong city and she tells a funny story to get in through the gates.

For work, I was able to complete the code to transfer both spreadsheets and get it ready to set it in the database once the schema is done. I worked from 6:45am to 16:45. At night we played the game "Sheriff of Nottingham." Mathieu won, big time.

Following is our actual exponential infection curve. And it's only beginning.

Today's tally (we passed the 400k):

Covid-19: Self-Isolation - Day 9 - Run to the SAQ (sortie #4)

Over the past three years I've been accumulating SAQ (our liquor store) points. Each bottle of wine can add a few pennies to the total points. Sometimes, some bottles can add a dollar (or a 1000 points). I managed to pick up over 1,000,000 points ($1000) I was reserving for one amazing bottle of wine.

However, in fear that the points program gets cancelled, I've decided to cash in. I went to the SAQ armed with a list of wines to get and got for $998 worth of wine. I'm leaving the bottles in the garage for a few days, to kill off whatever was on those boxes. I wore gloves, covered my face, dumped my clothes and showered.

Tonight we played the board Contagion.

Birthday

Today was a great day! Really! After bringing Mathieu to school I went to work at the office (Starbucks) where I got a free birthday coffee. Came back home, worked. Sabrina video called me from school and she and her friends wished me a happy birthday, I have to admit I was very touched.

Around 2:00 I went to pick up Mathieu (2:30) and then Sabrina (3:15). Took care of dinner, cleaned up, learned to play "Tiny Epic Kingdoms" with Sabi and Mathieu. Not only was it really fun, but for once I actually won.



After everyone was in bed, I read and was touched by all the happy birthdays I got through Facebook. I took the time to answer every one of them. I was particularly touched by Max's message. It was a great day.

Sunday Night Board Game

We played The Settlers of Catan. I got creamed. Sabrina creamed us. We really had a fun time. That's the best way to end a weekend.

Catan is one of the best games ever. Buy it! Now! Play it during the holidays. Maybe we'll even play together. Click on the link below (I dare you to):
