Past simple

I've washed my hands twice, sanitized three times,

and have maybe teared up about five times.

and I am the CEO of a family-run Japanese restaurant group

in Manhattan, and we have 16 different locations

with 12 different concepts of Japanese food.

It's been four days since the city decided to shut down

all restaurants dining in, and for the past four days,

She just woke me up, and I just put her back to sleep.

Now I am on my computer, trying to log much my nanny worked.

I'm a single mom, and because I've been working a lot

So that's what I'm doing at 4:33 in the morning,

as well as trying to get ready for the day.

from what a lot of people are experiencing right now.

I just wanna show you what my day looks like.

Trying to create an online infrastructure.

For example, at Hi-Collar, we do not do takeout,

Things are just changing every single day,

so we, as a company, we're also changing every single day.

I'm hoping that today we'll see an uptick

It's 8:20, and I've pressed snooze ample enough times,

so it's time for me to get up, take my temperature.

in order to see my daughter, I have to put on a mask,

That's probably one of the hardest parts.

I try to maximize my time with her in the morning.

So the nanny, I told her not to come into the city anymore,

'cause I also don't want to get her sick.

I'm trying to enjoy these little moments with my daughter.

It's 10:14, and I am leaving my apartment

It's a family business, and it's very difficult

when you're talking about closing businesses

and so to talk about what are we going to do,

who, you know, screaming and crying and says "Mama."

I am on 10th Street now, making my first stops,

Even a little bit helps for your local places.

It's 11:34, and so far, what we've done is

set up so that our graphic team can clock in

We've talked about finalizing the phone number,

and then how much we'll need to sustain the business.

I'm trying to make myself feel better with omurice.

It makes me feel like a kid that's happy.
