Since I've been isolating myself (since last Thursday) I've been gorging on Netflix and Amazon Prime, but I've also been making a mental list of all the stuff that needs to be done around the house and that I no longer have any excuse to put off. If I really have to stay in for the next 18 months, this place should be a fucking palace by then.
