One of my favorite parts of working from home is that my boys and I do an Apple Fitness workout together mid-day almost every day. Today I wasn't feeling it and told my younger boy that gravity increases the older you get, so scientifically I couldn't do it. Unfortunately I already taught him too much science and he wasn't buying it. Guess I have to get up from my desk now.
In all seriousness, I was working from home before the pandemic, but my boys were in school all day and we only saw each other a couple hours a day. I'm so grateful that they're home, and that they're both happy to be here with me. It's family time I wouldn't have gotten without the pandemic, as awful as the pandemic's been.
@BE My family being as close as we are is my pandemic silver lining, too. My oldest did middle school at home so he learned empathy instead of whatever garbage you leave the middle school hallways with. He's a junior now, and he checks in with me every evening. He tells me about his day. He asks if I have a minute when he needs to chat through an issue. His younger sister watches our relationship and is the same way. I don't believe we would be as close if we weren't locked down as we were.
@BE Thanks for the line, "Gravity increases as you get older" 😆 Might try and use it sometime.
