    It's school holidays in between blocks of 'online learning' here, so the days have definitely been blurring together.

    I've read that 'Smun-day' is now the vague start of the week but that really we could just shorten the whole week to 3 days - yesterday, today and tomorrow.
    Some things have stayed the same for us though, a bit like this but last night didn't really feel like Friday

    Do you still look forward to weekends or are all days becoming Blursday to you too?

    Lol, I will have to use that in a title. I loose track with no appointments/travel etc.. The only way I know is that my husband still works and he doesn’t work as much on the weekend! I think it is the 94th of April...this month has been so long!

    That's so funny!:giggle
    Weekends are still defined for me as DH is around. He works from home all week. So I really look forward to his company at the weekend.

    Yep, they’re all looking the same too. Hopefully this week will become less like that as my mum's work starts up again after 5 weeks - we don’t know exactly when she goes back yet as each store has to have a health and safety check and sign off plus get fresh food stock in before they can trade through drive through and uber eats deliveries

    I haven't had a problem with Blursday. Being retired and staying at home most of the time, I was used to this when it started.

    Definitely still look forward to the weekends!! I'm still working from home and I swear I'm working more hours than when I actually went to the school building. DH is still working as well, so not much different other than I don't leave the house, and in that respect all the weekdays kind of blur together lol. Plus, I'm babysitting my 11 year old granddaughter and helping her and DS with the school work they have throughout the day. But, on Friday afternoon I turn it all off, sign out of school stuff and let it go for the weekend.

    Yes, all blurred together -- and very soon, DD will finish up her college courses, and then only one of us will have a set schedule. DH is working from home. He showers and dresses every day. He also wears his badge -- mostly as a sign that he is at work to the rest of us so we leave him alone - should he venture out of his office.

    Days are all blurred together. I have been working from home for almost 45 days and I have found that I am putting in more hours then I did when I went to the office.

    I have no idea what any day is. I check my calendar every day I wake up and do what's in there. If it is NOT in the calendar it doesn't happen!!!!!

    OH this is so relatable and funny! :giggle This last week while I was helping my youngest with his math homework he asked me what day it was... he thought it was Wednesday and I said Tuesday, but I really wasn't sure and had to look at my phone to confirm. Oy! :dizzy

    My hubby and I are still going into the office for work, so yes we still look forward to the weekend, but it's not quite the same as before since we have so much free time in the evenings now to do our hobbies and watch our shows. The weekend doesn't seem like quite the reward it used to be. But, I'm rather loving the slower pace of life... like a lot! My hubby on the other hand is going bonkers with his dose of socialization!

    The days are all one big blur to me but I still definitely look forward to the weekend. I homeschool my youngest 3 so nothing changed with us when the schools shut and I really look forward to the 2 days of no schooling.

    This is how I can tell the day of the week:
    DH's schedule. M-F = work. M, W, Th= some sort of scout-related meeting (he's troop master).
    For me: W= weekly zoom meeting with my small group of moms. But I sometimes forget this because I can't remember it's Wednesday. Th = my Bible study, which has moved to zoom. Every other F=nutritionist appointment. Su= church via streaming (that's the one that throws me off because I really miss meeting in person!)

    We lead thrilling lives, don't we? :giggle

    Yes! The only reason I have some sort of idea of the days are because of work deadlines and because Olivia and I are still somewhat having a weekly planning session. We didn't have one last week, and boy-oh-boy, could I tell. It was just a parade of hours mushed together and all of a sudden I was like, what? It's Saturday?

    I don't know the day or the date and have to look on my computer or watch. I thought I'd missed the deadline for the slow scrap and it wasn't until the next day. I say it's "covid brain". :crazy3

    My DH and I telework from home and my kids are doing school online. For us, weekends mean Saturday drives on dirt roads on Forest Service lands to explore. I work for the Forest Service and manage the road system so it's been good to see some of the roads while we take our family out for some time away and still social distance.
