It’s crazy to think about, but this ordeal is now approaching the 8 month mark… out of work, thinking about the future, some times bored, ok, so maybe more than just some times. As of press time, I started back at work. Thinking about what I accomplished during my furlough, I’ve compiled somewhat of a list:

• Took a Hospitality Course through Florida Atlantic University and earned a certificate! I realized that learning is just so fascinating, but also learned that EVERYTHING can be Googled!
• Fed the birds and just recently noticed the migratory patterns over the 8 months.
• Made pickles, pickled japalenos. I also pickled some other stuff, but it got too dark looking and I couldn’t make out what I pickled.
• Contacted The Kellogg Company and complained that there weren’t many, (only 1 in fact), pecans in their Cinnamon and Pecan Special K Cereal. We gotta keep these companies honest!
• Volunteered at a local food drive to feed the masses of people in my community. The numbers were staggering and overwhelming.
• Spent countless hours on Fantasy Football. Started 4-0 and then lost the next 4… oh brotha…
• Read 12 books, (look for an upcoming post on The Covid 12 Book Club)
• Got into a routine to ride my bike each day, 8-10 miles a day.
• Using the hose to scare away numerous iguanas off the Papaya Tree.
• Bought a couch for the living room.
• Started voice-over lessons.
• Started and launched this blog.
• Wrote to the Progressive Car Insurance Media Relations Dept to find out the actors name that plays Bobbie the landscaper on the Baker Mayfield Commercials. I think he is a riot!
• Networked with The Nudleberg Huddle on Linked In in the mornings, met new people and made new contacts.
