If I might be too busy to be on Twitter this week, I should probably leave you with something good to tide you over, right?

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

I'm an introvert with plenty of hobbies, a massive to-do list, a chest freezer, and a pair of running shoes, so to be honest, this continues to just... mostly be my regular life.

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

Good morning Twitter!

How has your first week of isolation?

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

I'm currently deeply regretting my diligence in paring down my to-be-read pile over the last few years. I've only got, like, a week's worth of books at home. 😭

@sgsfm I'm trying! <3

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

Meanwhile, I was sure I was going to be SUPER EXTRA PRODUCTIVE with social distancing... but it turns out that it's just my normal life.

Stay home, read, internet, do admin stuff, do chores, go for a run by myself, only run errands when they're urgent.

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@sweetbridgettex You know it's true!!

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

(I mean, lots of cancelled appts for work, which does suck financially. But it's pretty negligible in terms of how it affects my day-to-day routine.)

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

Actual effects so far:

1. stretches at home instead of going to the yoga studio I don't like anyway
2. one (1) cancelled future event
3. postpone setting up coffee date that I've already not gotten around to for months
4. miss one (1) fun activity
5. might reschedule dentist

(The waterfront was BUSY, though. And people were not good at passing with space. Better out in the fresh air than in a store or a bar, I guess!)

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

Yesterday's Social Distance Run.

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

Also: yes, I'm still taking bookings, so long as you are not feeling under the weather and promise to wash your hands.

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@pawloseas Stupid physics.

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

So, what are your introvert plans for this weekend?

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@mshannahsimpson @OICompanions I like these shoes ok. I desperately miss my old @inov_8 shoes, but sadly they're impossible to shop for in Canada.

Running keeps me sane, though. (Literally! My mental health & ADD are noticeably better when I'm running regularly...)

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

In other news, now that it's warming up, I'm finally getting better at getting out running regularly again. It's so nice!

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@pawloseas 😘

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

Shadows and lace.

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@sgsfm I'm glad you like it!

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@B1Gt33 (It's true, though: I definitely wouldn't turn down a camera! Maybe someone's upgrading and wants to find their entry-level DSLR a good home?)

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

I wish more than ever that I'd gotten around to getting a decent camera some time in the YEARS since my last one died.

Wandering around taking pictures would be a great way to get out of the house and pass the time without touching anyone or anything!

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@B1Gt33 Hah. You know, for some reason it's never occurred to me to put on my wishlist? I think maybe because I've mostly got small things there...

[Rebecca Neals @RebeccaNeals]

@mrconman117 That sounds like an excellent weekend. 😀
