List of things I did while stuck inside

Writer's picture: VioletViolet

Made a list of things I could sit on in my room, like a stack of books. It was a very short list when I noticed all I was adding were things outside. Which didn’t make sense, because my list was things to sit on while stuck inside.


Tried on a lipstick color that didn’t work on me last week, but maybe that’s changed. (It hasn’t)


Watched YouTube videos on how to properly roll a shawarma


Tried, and failed, to properly roll a shawarma


Watched people walking outside my window, noted their outfits


Looked at my clothes waiting to be put away lingering on my floor


Drew a picture of my chair, added photos to my list of things I could sit on


Wrote a list of things I could do while sitting in each potential chair


Sat pondering my outfit of the day


Looked at the infected cut on my knee, thought about putting on Neosporin.


Made a list of things I did while stuck inside


Added writing this list to my list


Showed my sister that my pants got stained from all of my gardening manual labor


Wondered about whether or not this is how Indiana jones feels while looking at his sepia wardrobe after his adventures


Had an ice cream cone and reminisced about my coffee crisp ice cream cones in Montreal


Thought about the RPM of the ceiling fan, but decided not to calculate it because it was moving too fast for me to count.


Wondered what the battery life of my speaker is, because if it died right now I don’t think emotionally I could take that hit


Looked in the mirror and tried to picture myself with gauges (is it gauges?)


Wondered what the process is to make tissues


Thought about the Richard Scary book where they teach you how paper is made


Made a list of my five favorite pairs of socks (three are striped)


Zillowed the address on the New Yorkers Sidney gave me that she found on the street


Read that the aforementioned apartment had a queen size home office


Wondered what a queen size home office was


Spilled crushed doll parts on my rug


Looked for new music


Drew people walking outside


Noticed that my jeans and their yellow hue matched the air color outside, I am fit for an apocalypse movie. Maybe the 100? I could probably do better. I’ll think on this


Waited for Georgia to get dressed. It took a while.


Ate some pizza (without the crust)


Researched how to self-rescue after falling through ice


Learned how to properly kill an alligator, if ever trapped in a duel (thank you Willow)


PS: I didn't really need to be stuck inside, but as a mostly unemployed woman I don't have many things to do. Unfortunately, my usual day lingering at the piers did not seem as appealing in these conditions.
