Good afternoon from this side of the planet. 
It's 12:45 PM here. I am here working online, enjoying my lemon tea and playing some good soothing old Bollywood numbers on YouTube.
As we were informed about no water from 10 to 7 PM, I am done with all household chores for the day. I even cooked dinner. Now whole of the day is there and I have nothing much to do. I plan to spend some good time online today.
I did all the chores on my own as I could not get much help from others. My elder daughter had early morning coaching classes to attend. The younger one helped with some dusting around the house and putting the laundry to dry. She too had her music class in the morning. Husband had back to back meeting since 7 in the morning and could not help. Anyway, I finished a lot...cleaning, cooking and washing dishes.
I did manage to do my breathing exercises( Pranayam) but missed the yoga asanas. I got delayed for my breakfast and so I had no appetite for my mid morning fruit snacks. Husband came down in his break and made this lemon tea. He took his cup upstairs and handed me mine. I am enjoying it right now.
I could visit one survey site and gain some points there. I was also able to visit one more site and make a few posts there. Now I plan to sit here till lunch and mylot. We had a late and heavy breakfast and no one seems to have appetite for lunch right now. We are going to have a late lunch.
House is quiet and the music is refreshing
Elder one is busy making some sketches, younger one is busy watching some YouTube videos for learning new crochet stitches and she is trying it along with the video and I am here mylotting
Yay!
It's Friday and I hope the weekend mood has set in

Good afternoon. Nice to know that you are enjoying your stay at home. I am also sitting in my balcony mylotting. Finished my Pooja and sadhana some time back. Had my morning walk late today so missed Pranayam. Everything seems to go slow these days. Does not even feel like being here for long. Everything is depressing with these news of coronavirus then black fungus and now white fungus. I can understand no point in thinking about all these things but can't avoid it. Anyway have a nice day ahead.

Good afternoon. I had a busy morning. We have no water supply from 10 to 7 today and tomorrow. Once in 6 months maintenance of water pipeline and tank cleaning is there in our apartment complex. So I had to finish everything in the morning and store some water for the day.
I try to avoid watching too many news channels. I just stick to DD News and WION that show more varieties of news and give enough updates on corona's status. It is scary but then too much negativity is not going to do any good. It will only suppress our immunity. It is tough to avoid that. But I am just trying to focus on things I like art, some chores, reading, and online work. There is so much worrying news around and I am diabetic and just recently recovered from the virus, I panic a lot when I watch such things. I just want to be aware but not panic.

@arunima25 I understand that's why started reading a book after long time. I Am reading"The fist of God" by Frederick Forsyth. Trying to concentrate on the book. It keeps me engaged as long as I am with it. Thanks for your concern.

@msdivkar That's good. Reading a book is a good distraction. That sounds like a good read. What is the book all about?
I am also reading a bit in the afternoon. But mostly it is related to education and mainly all Rudolf Steiner's lectures.

@arunima25 I am glad that you will spend time watching TV with your husband.
My husband went to see his doctor, he allowed me to stay with them so he could ask me questions.
He gave stronger painkiller to my husband and today he feels better. We go back to see the doctor the 4th of June. My husband was in too much pain and he could not examine the left side of his face. Thanks for asking.

I watched some late night movie with him. This was like going back to our Friday night ritual after almost more than a month. Our Friday night thing was out of windows from the time I got the virus.

Today I finished everything in a go because of no water supply announcement. As such also, I like to finish my cooking at once so that I can clean up the kitchen and do something else. We have an early dinner around 7. So, once I am in the kitchen for cooking lunch, I make something fro dinner too. I just make hot chapatis before eating.
You too have a good Friday and happy wekend.

Good afternoon... By now it is not quite midnight in your home. I hope you enjoy your night and will see my response tomorrow.
I think it would be nice to have more help doing household chores, but that usually doesn't happen. My daughter did help me prepare our dinner last night and then cleaned up the stove/dirty pans afterwards. (She chopped onions and then talked to me while I did the rest of the preparations and the actual cooking. 
We had pork chops with sautéed onions and mushrooms along with fried green beans. YUM!)
I've spent the last two weeks editing a manuscript for a client and enjoying allergic reactions. Pretty and I also got our second Moderna shots a couple of days ago. (She had a sore arm this time. I had an upset stomach. *shrug* At least it's done now.)
Enjoy your weekend.

@arunima25 We still need to continue to wear the masks even though we've had the second jab of Moderna. We are still not 100% protected from the original virus and may not have any protection from the newest strains from India and Africa.
My daughter is 32, so should share all household tasks... but usually is content to let me do them myself. I do enjoy her company when she has time to visit with me while I'm doing the chores.

Good that you and Pretty are fully vaccinated now..Now masks are not mandatory for you both there. Many people get mild symptoms, some get none and few have some severe symptoms post vaccination.
I share most of the responsibility of household chores. But I am glad that my family pitches in whenever they can.. it's just that being in pre University, High school and a demanding job, they are not able to help all the times. They have different priorities.
Your meal sounds good. And though you ended up doing the actual work, I am sure you would have enjoyed your daughter's company and the little help she gave
It's Saturday evening here and I have been deliberately away from online sites.I enjoyed the day playing some games with my daughters. Now they have got busy with their studies and husband is busy making some presentation for next week, I am here till dinner.
Have a good weekend

@DaddyEvil It's better to take all precautions. Many around world are getting infections despite of two shots. Seychelles is doing great with a good percentage of population being fully vaccinated but they are facing a covid surge.
Well, our children always enjoy us doing chores unless we ask them to help

That's actually nice Dianne. I actually used to do the same when I went to physical school. I would try to finish all in the early morning before leaving for school. So that I could do other stuffs in afternoon or just finish other errands to keep weekends free. Also, I had to drive my daughter to her music class in the evening on three days in a week.
Now with pandemic and in work from home mode, things have changed.

A big hi five there. I have never been bored ever in my life. I have been to so many countries and with or without any company, I have always been productively engaged. I hear people complaining about this house arrest and lockdown. But it has not impacted me at all. I have enough to keep me busy. In fact I always have few things on my to do list spilling over to next day.

Housework goes in a cycle in any fully lived household. So, one can never say that all household chores are done. You clear one pile and the other pile would be ready in no timeSo, we learn to manage it in a way that we find or rather steal some time in between to relax and enjoy what we love to do
