What have you been up to?

Read Now

Wednesday's theme for the "Virtual Spirit Week" was to post a picture showing what you've been doing with your time off from school, so here's mine:

My wife & I have been walking all over Wichita – in parks, along the riverfront, on an old railroad track turned into a walking/biking path, and just around various neighborhoods. This map shows where we've walked in February and March, and I missed some because I forgot to turn on my tracker. It's a total of about 45 miles!
We've walked other places, too, but this just shows where we've been this year.

So what about you? What have you been up to?

This is a sample comment on my journal entry, just so you can see how long your comment needs to be (minimum). Of course, you can write more than this if you want to, but this comes to about 40 words.

I have been playing a lot of basketball and video games along with working out during quarantine. It has gotten to be kind of boring because I also have to deal with my brother. But other than that I have been doing fine.

Ive been doing the exact same thing but minus the basketball. I wake up at 7:30 workout, get my homework done and then I have the rest of the day to try and figure out what I want to do which is usually video games.

I too have been playing a lot of basketball and working out. I do a few workouts per-day just trying to stay in shape since we are not able do go to school where I would usually have strength and conditions and also after school sports.

I haven't done a lot honestly. A little bit after spring break I cleaned my bedroom. I have also painted a lot some for class but also I will just paint when I'm bored. Other than those things and school I haven't done anything.

I haven't really done anything either, I've just been chilling at my boyfriends a lot. My sister bought a house and we're planning on moving in on the 25th, I'm also getting 2 new dogs they are labs their names are going to be zeus an Athena.

I also haven't been doing that much during quarantine. I too have been rearranging my room and it looks a lot better. I've pretty much just been doing homework and trying to stay productive. I will be very happy when the stay at home order is lifted and everything will be back to normal.

Honestly, I haven't been doing much either. I've been drawing a lot and watching different animes I've been wanting to watch for a while, not to mention I even joined a contest recently where we have to make teams and work on making an event for a pretty popular game online. But other than that, I've just been sleeping and messing around with my cats. I occasionally do schoolwork too, but let's be honest, I have a procrastination problem.

I've been on many bike rides. Got road rash. I have discovered a new show. It's British, oh well. My mom, my sister, and I went on a road trip to Fall River. I went to make a 3-point-turn and there was these two people just intensely staring at me, but then I saw a corgi, so it's fine.

JBJ

Yesterday, we saw a corgi and a French bulldog that looked almost just like my mom's!

Rachel Taylor

I got road rash too hah. I fell off my bike doing the same. I saw a corgi mixed with a german shepard and it made me think of you.I hope you are enjoying your British show.

Hey, so my days have started with me waking up at 6 to start my work.-out, and then I eat something, then I will lay around and play video games for a while, get some lunch, take a nap, then wake up around 2 play some more games eat dinner do homework and sleep.

Collin Scott

Me and my brother have been having to do a lot more chores lately, because we have been eating at home more often, obviously. But that creates more dishes, more trash, messier house, etc. I've also been working out and playing a lot of video games. Probably over 45 Hours!!!

kayleigh

I agree with Collin. I have been doing more chores around the house. i do like 5 more chores now that I'm stuck in the house all day with my siblings.

Brooklyn Jahn

4/23/2020 10:19:09 am

Like Collin, I have been doing a lot more chores as well. I actually enjoy doing chores more now so that I have something to do and I'm not just laying around all day doing nothing. Instead of playing video games, I watch Netflix!

Jaxson

Like Collin and the others that have commented on his post, I to have many more chores. My parents have just gotten a new dishwasher so I no longer have to do them by hand. I have been playing games when I can, which is mostly at night. I don't tend to wake up till about noon anymore.

Logan Clark

4/9/2020 10:12:51 am

I've been doing lots of cleaning like Collin. I've also been playing video games with friends. Work has also really gotten to me, I'm working less hours and it's slowing down the flow of money. Other than that I try to stay focused on schoolwork.

At the beginning of spring break I went to see my mom in Topeka. Went to the mall a lot. Did some shopping. Me and my mom watched netflix quite a but when she wasn't working or we weren't out doing things. The Yankee Candle at the mall in Topeka closed. Ngl kinda depressing. Then the world ended and school got shut down so that was fun 😅. Then I came back to El Dorado and worked with my dad quite a bit. Almost got caught up with Supernatural on Netflix.

My family and I drove down to Branson, MO for Spring Break. It probably would have been nicer if it wasn't cold, rainy, and of course no pandemic, but not much could have done about the last one besides being cautious. We mostly stayed inside our apartment watching movies. Though the only thing on TV was a constant rerun of Twilight, so I watched the Twilight saga about 3 times. It did suck that we didn't see as much of Branson as we wanted, but it was nice to get away none the less.

I also did some travelling the first weekend of Spring Break. My family and I went down to Texas to visit some friends who just recently moved there.

Spring break for me was very eventful. I was in and out of Wellington, KS and I've been working (not as much as I was a mont ago). Then we got put on lockdown and I still work and see friends occasionally. But I haven't done any more chores than I have before this started because I work so I get a free pass.

Oliver Culver

So far, nothing really much exciting happened besides visiting my dad in the weekends. But being in quarantine is not really different to me, I stay home anyways. My emotion for the so far its just....little worried...

The first part of the extended spring break was a fiasco. For spring break I went to London with my mom and my dad, but less than thirty minutes from landing in Heathrow, we found out that the U.K. got added to the travel ban. My dad said that as long at our airline still had flights, we'd be okay. So we went about touring, but our flights were constantly being rebooked. Then the next day our flight got moved to early tomorrow morning, and when we returned to the U.S. we were ordered to be on quarantine for the next fourteen days. We didn't get back to El Dorado until three in the morning. Then the next day I got the Stomach Flu of all things. Now I've just been watching TV, popping into the outside world every so often, and trying my best not to have a mental breakdown.

Being stuck at home all the time sucks. Especially with siblings. I've been doing a lot more chores around the house but at least the house is clean. While in quarantine, I've played a lot of video games. Other than being stuck in the house basically all of the time, I have been doing ok.

Me and my brother have been going on runs and working out. I've also got on multiple walks around the lake areas and on trails. I have been working more hours and have organized my entire shed out of boredom.

Kayleigh M.

Since spring break, I've been trying to go on walks at least twice a day. This week I've been trying to fit going on short one mile runs around the neighborhood into my day as well. And I've also somehow managed to finish 2/3 of a series on Netflix.

Jorja Highbarger

I haven't been doing much. Durning spring break I was mostly outside running around hanging out with friends. Now, durning quarantine I have been stuff inside doing homework and dealing with family issues. Luckily I'm the only child in the house so I don't have to worry about that its the fact of being bored constantly and watching NCIS non-stop.

Over this very long break, I haven't been up too much. Currently my life consists of watching Dexter and working, and playing uno by myself (like I am currently doing) 😔✊🏻. While my parents are at work I leave the house and drive around, not what I'm supposed to be doing at this time, but I personally think that makes it more fun.

Since both my parents are essential workers and I don't have any siblings, I've been spending a lot of time by myself. To stay busy I have been trying to play tennis and stay in shape as much as I can. I don't think my neighbors are a big fan of me hitting tennis balls against my garage, but it is what it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have been spending a lot of time riding bikes with my grandma. I enjoy going on long walks now. Working has been another way to pass time. Having all this time to spend with my parents and siblings has really improved my relationships with them.

Chloe Coiner

4/23/2020 10:19:32 pm

I enjoy going on walks and doing to work to, because it a good way to pass time and get exercise. All this time at home has improved my relationships with my family, because were with each other all the time.

Haley Morris link

While having so much time is great, most of my spring break has been thinking about summer break. Theres not really that much to do since most of my friends can't go out. A lot of my free time is spending time with family and playing video games.

Leo Barber

4/11/2020 05:02:34 pm

I have not been doing too much at all besides for playing video games, watching YouTube and streamers. But I do like being by myself since it gives me the ability to just chill and relax as of right now. And since online school started I've been doing alright.

Jesiah Zongker

4/23/2020 12:49:28 pm

I haven't done a whole lot either i've watched youtube and played video games as well. For most of my day is watching youtube and playing video games. But since online school is in progress I have to do. work as well.

Ive spent most of my time outside. Mostly working on my truck and shed (antler) hunting. Ive gotten my truck on the road and I've been going to work for a nearby farmer to keep myself busy.

Logan Zogleman

Ive spent my days watching Netflix, I recently finished Tiger King and loved it. its been easy to find time to stay in shape, all it takes is commitment and dedication. I've also started to take the dogs to the lake, they have a blast. I hope this is over soon.

During "quarantine" I've been doing a lot of nothing. By nothing I mean playing games, sitting around, and eating quite a bit of junk food. I've gained 7 lbs and have lost my treasured physique. Contrary to what I just wrote I've also been biking around a lot and have been kayaking a couple times.

Jerica George

4/14/2020 08:45:40 pm

I have done similar things to Jay. I have been doing nothing and eating to much junk food for my own good. I have also lost my "treasured physique." Unlike Jay I have not been biking or kayaking due to my broken ankle. I have played a few card games with my family though. What games have you played?

JBJ

4/16/2020 04:33:13 pm

My wife isn't much of a game player, so we haven't played anything. We used to play dominoes about once a month with a group from church, so we joked about having to wipe each domino with a Lysol wipe before playing it.

I have just been trying to go with the flow. Theres not to do so I get bored very easily. Ive been exercising so that's a plus, although I've been eating a lot due to being bored. I have to tell myself you're not hungry you're just bored.

TJ Salas

4/14/2020 10:08:28 pm

I have been going on walks and bike rides all around El Dorado and Wichita. I've also just sat inside and watched movies and played video games. I haven't gotten too bored quite yet, but I think I will get there very soon.

Raegan Barkus

4/15/2020 01:44:50 pm

I haven't done a lot over this extended break. Although, during Spring Break I painted my whole room yellow. I also a bunch of pennants and decorations and hung them on my walls. Other than that, I've just watched a lot of Netflix and movies.

Savannah Lunsford

4/27/2020 04:33:07 pm

I feel that Raegan. Over this extended break I really haven't done much either. Just cooped up in the house. My room was yellow once. How do you like it? I've seen it in pictures from snapchat and it looks really good!! Over spring break I went on a couple trips but after that everything has been canceled. Do you have any good Netflix suggestions? I swear I've watched almost everything you can think of. Lol.

Jewelyah Barker

4/15/2020 02:35:59 pm

Lately, I've been more bored than I've (probably) ever been. I hate sitting at home every day, but I've been trying to be more productive by learning how to do new things, exercising, journaling etc. Overall just trying to stay healthy and keep myself somewhat entertained.

Not much honestly as I’ve really been doing homework and playing video games. As well sleep as that’s really all I can do. But I do go outside to play basketball on my goal outside or run up a hill for training that’s really all I’ve been up to.

I have been playing outside with my brother almost everyday. I have also been playing a lot of video games. Video games is one way I can be in contact with my friends and they are fun as well. Almost every evening my whole family watches tv together.

David Mitchell

4/16/2020 09:18:42 pm

I've been going outside. I have been really bored, but I've gone fishing and have been playing video games. I have been practicing on my guitar, I recently learned the solo from Sultans of Swing. And I have binge watched the office again.

Aodhfionn Mora-Bruce

4/18/2020 12:49:39 pm

Just like David, my brother has been playing different instruments, but I don't do that stuff. He wants me to teach him the drums so I tried. My family has also been watching Brooklyn Nine Nine every night. It's our new routine.

Michael Riddle

4/21/2020 12:16:41 pm

During this time I have been spending a lot of time working out, playing video games, doing homework, and spending time with my family. Video games have given me a way to interact with my friends when i am not allowed to see them in person. Workouts are giving me lots of things to keep me active and not lose all of my progress. This time spent with family has been the most i have spent with them in forever.

I have been playing a lot of Xbox and fishing mostly last week broke my personal best and caught a 7 pounder and a few 5 pounders as well along with about 40 crappie have had a really good couple of weeks.

I have been playing video games and I have been working out a decent amount because video games get boring really quick so I would workout and go on my trampoline or go on a walk for an hour or so, just to get some fresh air because some day I just can't be stuck inside.

Breckyn Poe

5/19/2020 11:38:05 pm

I don't really do much during the day. Most of my time is spent on my computer. Messing around with Excel, watching Youtube, or playing games. The rest of my time is spent doing chores and spending time with my family
