How are you living the quarantine? Fears and dreams?

I get up, I take a shower, I feed my cat, I send and reply to emails for the whole morning, I have lunch at home, I do some research and sketches (sometimes I lose myself for hours in unnecessary searching, I'll admit that), then I'll work out on the treadmill or I do some exercises for my injured knee, I have dinner, a couple of BD meetings, then I go to bed with a nice book. 

Honestly, I can't remember what I thought when I realized that this was serious. I was living in Japan for over a month as we were setting up a pop-up store at Dover Street Market. I was living in the northern part of Harajuku, which borders on Sendagaya. I used to go for a run on my own every morning around the Olympic village built in Sendagaya and I realized that it was going to remain unused. 

I haven't lived in my parents' house since I was 16 years old. Looking back is not something I usually like to do, especially for my job. Maybe this time it will be useful, though, who knows. 
I honestly miss working with Kyle in a different country every month, without office hours or limitations.
