Day 26: Basic Instincts
Coronavirus won't kill me, but online workouts probably will
Day 26, but technically, day 27, but I will write about yesterday now, and later I will write about today. How are we still catching up with time even though time stopped? I feel like any minute now I’ll turn on the TV and they’ll be reporting something post-apocalyptic from 2054 (for example, Trump has been unfrozen so he can come back to life now that the pandemic has finally ended).
Day 26 was a pleasant Friday, which consisted of work, a sunny day and a torturous workout. I actually felt cheated, because the YouTube video was called “30-minute workout with dumbells”. Note the use of the word ‘with’. The dumbells were just a pointless accessory, and 60% of the workout actually consisted of high-intensity cardio. My heart was jumping out of my chest, my neighbour across the road was enjoying the show, and my negroni at the end tasted amazing.
As the days roll by, mankind seems to have reverted back to its basic instincts. In the house, our two key roles now are those of the hunter and the nurturer. The man goes out, risking his life to bring food, and the woman stays in, although I’m not exactly sure what I’m meant to be doing, beyond my two big talents in the kitchen which are smashing avocado and grilling meat.
Speaking of basic instincts, a great thing the internet uncovered these days was Sharon Stone, who decided to kill her own time in lockdown by painting. She wasn’t bad!
I was thinking of learning how to draw these days. I did go to one lesson in London, in which I thought I was doing great until the teacher laughed at my work, so I was a little discouraged. But, my spirit remains unbroken. If that didn’t beat me, coronavirus definitely won’t.
And Sharon Stone? She was using a paint by numbers kit.
Lunch: Tuna salad with avocado, mozzarella and an egg.
Song of the day: Michael Gray - The Weekend
