'4:12 p.m. — My mom calls to tell M. and me that our wedding must be postponed — the venue is going to be closed through May due to coronavirus, of course. We are sad but not entirely surprised...'

I have $6,000 in a Roth IRA. My goal is to save $1,000 per month. I usually come in a little above that.8:43 a.m. — I wake up without an alarm and get up to make coffee. Normally I would do an Orangetheory class on Sunday mornings, but I've stopped going as of early last week. I know they are doing their best to keep everything clean, but I'm trying not to be in groups when I don't have to be., the last book I checked out from the library.

4:13 p.m. — M. and I head out for a walk. We're sure to keep our distance from everyone else who is out for a walk, which is more people than usual. 6:30 p.m. — I wonder what shelter in place is going to look like. I'd been feeling so stressed at work lately with no prep period and at first, I loved the idea of working from home. Considering the reason I am working from home, though, I don't know if I feel any more relaxed. I do feel so fortunate to have a job that I'm able to do remotely. I write in my journal and read for a few hours before getting ready to turn in.8 a.m. — Up and at ‘em.

7:42 p.m. — I write in my journal. My writing feels dull, I'm making more typos than usual, and I don't see my personality in what I'm writing. I decide to take a break and watch a few episodes of9:30 p.m. — Another no-spend day, since we can't really go anywhere. I'm so much less tired than usual. Not standing in front of seven classes all day and being upbeat saves a ton of energy. I'm not tired, but I get ready for bed anyway.3:34 a.m. — M.

11:08 a.m. — The vet calls to let me know that my cat's medication is ready for pickup. We adopted an elderly cat in 2018 who was on a euthanasia list at her shelter. Last fall she started to lose a lot of weight and it turns out she has hyperthyroidism! Luckily the medication has been doing a great job of keeping her healthy, and she loves scarfing down the pill pocket she gets with dinner .3:17 p.m. — I clock out online and head over to the vet to pick up my cat's medication.
