What was up with today?? I realize that it was the Monday after a holiday, and for my company, a Monday after a couple of extra days off, but there was just something about this Monday. It honestly just got away from me. Now it started off perfectly fine – my alarm went off atContinue reading “Day 112 — Monday, July 6, 2020 or an ode to the Monday that just got away”

I’m a big reader — I love books. I always have a bunch of books out on loan from the local library, a few on hold via my e-reader and I’m not even going to talk about the many, many books I own — let’s just say I have bookshelves filled with books that IContinue reading “Day 111 — Sunday, June 5, 2020 or here we are on the Sunday evening after a long weekend…”

Today is the 4th of July and it was a perfect summer day. Typically, my husband and I don’t do anything special for the 4th holiday — our annual summer vacation usually starts the next week, so we usually chill out at home during the 4th, cook something on the smoker and start packing forContinue reading “Day 110 — Saturday, July 4, 2020 or Happy Birthday, America!”

It’s Friday evening again and that means one thing — we’re going back to outdoor dining tonight! But this time it will be a little different — we have FRIENDS joining us!! Hallelujah, it won’t be just my husband and me staring at each other, trying to make conversation. There will be other actual PEOPLEContinue reading “Day 109 — Friday, July 3, 2020 or it’s Friday!!”

This morning I went to my 4th outdoor yoga class. My company was closed today for the 4th of July holiday, so I could actually go to the 9:15 a.m. class, usually I am working during that time slot. Today’s instructor is definitely my favorite — she brings a level of energy and sweat toContinue reading “Day 108 — Thursday, July 2, 2020 or I did yoga again today!”

My office closed today at 12:30 p.m. for the 4th of July holiday. I don’t have to log back into my work computer until Monday. How happy I am! Sometimes it just gets so old sitting in my home “office” staring at the same walls… I was so excited to log off today – theContinue reading “Day 107 — Wednesday, July 1, 2020 or here’s to the start of a much needed holiday!”

After almost 3 and 1/2 months, I think I have finally been bitten by the virtual event bug. And I am probably the last holdout! For months, I’ve watched all of these amazing virtual events being advertised, thought that it would be cool to register and participate in the event, but then another event wouldContinue reading “Day 106 — Tuesday, June 30, 2020 or I might finally have the virtual bug…”

Our local library opened back up at the beginning of June for curbside pickup only. So that means now when I want to read a new book, not only can I put in a request for an electronic book, but I can request an actual book from the library’s website! And then I wait toContinue reading “Day 105 — Monday, June 29, 2020 or I might just have too many books…”

We finally got some rain yesterday afternoon, and boy, did we need it! It’s been so hot and sticky here, which I honestly don’t mind, but the pollen is still coating everything with a dried up dust-like substance. I washed my car on Sunday and by Monday it looked like I hadn’t even bothered. IContinue reading “Day 104 — Sunday, June 28, 2020 or this is quite a storm!”

My local yoga studio has started doing outdoor classes the past couple of weeks. The classes are right down the street from the studio on a grassy lawn in front of an office building. This morning was my third class, and there is just something about doing yoga with other people. I just feel moreContinue reading “Day 103 — Saturday, June 27, 2020 or thank you yoga!”
