Let’s have fun today, Pittsburgh! How’s your quarantine schedule looking? Probably a lot different than our normal schedules of just a few weeks ago. If you’re in quarantine, you probably either follow a schedule or just wing it every day. Here’s a lighthearted take on how some of our schedules might look right about now.
You can postpone the sports seasons, but you can’t damper our enthusiasm. That means wearing our favorite Steelers, Penguins, and Buccos gear. Or, maybe just put on your daytime PJs.
Anything goes during quarantine – cold pizza? Bacon and eggs? A stack of pancakes like Pamela’s Diner makes? You can even eat potato chips, if you want.
Log onto FB or Twitter to check the local news stations. Count how many random comments there are about the bike lanes in Pittsburgh. Fight with other yinzers over trolls. You know, the usual.
Pull out all of the ingredients for a hearty, bigger than you can fit in your mouth chipped ham sandwich. Pour a tall glass of Turner’s Ice Tea to go with it. Perfect lunch – chef’s kiss.
Head outdoors to breathe in the fresh air. Say hi to everyone you pass and maybe have a conversation – all from at least six feet away to adhere to social distancing.
Mutter under your breath at the mess everyone’s made as you rid up the house. Start making plans for a solo vacation to Lake Erie when this is all over.
Sit down to a delicious meal of pierogis or if you’re not up for cooking, order take-out from one of your favorite Pittsburgh restaurants. Eat ‘N Park, perhaps?
Sports are postponed. Marble racing on ESPN was fun for a bit. Now it’s time to kick back, relax, and binge our favorite shows. Get some snacks. Change into your nighttime jammies.
Curl up in bed. Play on your phone and flip through the stations on TV. Look at the clock, realize it’s now the middle of the night, and say goodnight.
Here’s a copy of the quarantine schedule. Stay safe, Pittsburgh! We’ll get through this. After all, we're stronger together.
What does your daily quarantine schedule look like? How are you staying busy? If you’re still working, thank you for keeping the city going! How are you staying safe?
