It really did and I can’t actually pinpoint where I went wrong. Maybe it was when I didn’t get up when my alarm went off this morning, but who doesn’t like a few more minutes of sleep?? Maybe it was when I decided to have a cup of coffee and check my work e-mail beforeContinue reading “Day 92 — Tuesday, June 16, 2020 or this day just got away from me…”

I got out of bed as soon as my alarm went off this morning. I used to always do that when we were back in normal times, but now since COVID-19, I never know just how many times I am going to try to snooze my alarm. Some mornings I just want a little moreContinue reading “Day 91 — Monday, June 15, 2020 or it’s Monday — again!”

Today is my husband’s birthday. He treats birthdays the exact opposite of me. He’ll tell you he doesn’t like his birthday, he doesn’t want cake, presents or even a card. There was one year he actually uninvited his family to his birthday party — we’d decided to have his mom, sister, his nephews and brother-in-lawContinue reading “Day 90 — Sunday, June 14, 2020 or we have a Flag Day birthday!”

My husband’s boss has been building bird houses during his self-quarantining time. He was looking for something creative to do while stuck inside his house. I guess he’s built a bunch of them for family and friends. Well, he built us one! He dropped it off yesterday and he said that installation was included withContinue reading “Day 89 — Saturday, June 13, 2020 or we got a bird house!”

Yes, it is, because — we are going out for dinner tonight!! At an actual restaurant! We’re not getting take out and dragging it home while hoping it will still be warm when we get there, we are going to an actual restaurant, sitting down and ordering off a menu! I won’t have to cleanContinue reading “Day 88 — Friday, June 12, 2020 or it’s almost like a normal Friday!”

I finally ordered new running sneakers from Marathon Sports last week. My current pair had been worn pretty thin, I felt like I was running on flat tires during my last couple of runs. My local store didn’t have the brand and style that I wanted (I overpronate on my right side, I didn’t evenContinue reading “Day 87 — Thursday, June 11, 2020 or I got new kicks!”

The pollen has been really bad this year — everything is constantly coated in a layer of yellow dust. My husband went out for a run this afternoon and when he got back his sneakers and socks had yellow particles all over them. There’s a big oak tree next to our driveway and every timeContinue reading “Day 86 — Wednesday, June 10, 2020 or why is my car now yellow?”

Oh, yes I did! OMG folks, I haven’t had my hair cut and colored since the end of February! I had a scheduled appointment near the end of April, but we all know what happened there — it was cancelled. Now, I was pretty much one of the last hold outs on getting my hairContinue reading “Day 85 — Tuesday, June 9, 2020 or I finally got my hair done!!”

My outdoor garden is doing so well this year, the new raised beds are really working out and I have so much space now. Yesterday, my neighbor gave me 10 extra tomato plants that he didn’t have room for in his garden — and I found room in mine! That’s in addition to the 3Continue reading “Day 84 — Monday, June 8, 2020 or I’m starting to get a tad bit obsessed with plants…”

Yes, it was! Today was the first normal Sunday that I have had since, let me see…Sunday, March 15! How many months ago was that?? It was a least 83 days ago… So why was it so normal for me? I went to both a live yoga class and to church, two things that IContinue reading “Day 83 — Sunday, June 7, 2020 or today was actually a normal Sunday!”
