Seriously, it’s like a time warp or something this week. Or maybe most weeks. I felt like I had no idea what day it was all week for some reason. And how is it only Thursday?? I do feel like the days fly by so fast while I am sitting here working from home. OrContinue reading “Day 52 — Thursday, May 7, 2020 or how is it only Thursday??”

Tonight I am doing my first ever virtual event that I had to pay for — OK, so a friend actually bought the ticket for me, but you get my point. Guess I’ll have to actually show up. Just kidding, Linda! This is definitely going to be a new thing for me. I attend author/bookContinue reading “Day 51 — Wednesday, May 6, 2020 or today for something different, I’m going to do a virtual event!”

Yes, I did! I haven’t been there since the end of March when I doubled or tripled up on purchasing our “everyday” products like hand soap and dishwasher detergent. I haven’t been to a store in like 3 weeks now — I let my husband do the grocery shopping and errand running because he justContinue reading “Day 50 — Tuesday, May 5, 2020 or for my 50th post in quarantine I celebrated by going to Target!”

Seriously, how did that happen? Wasn’t yesterday just Wednesday?? I am definitely having trouble keeping track of the days. And my body did not think that it was supposed to be Monday this morning — my alarm went off at it’s usually time and I did NOT want to get up. So I didn’t…I letContinue reading “Day 49 — Monday, May 4, 2020 or I can’t believe we’ve back to WFH Monday!”

Yesterday, after I pulled a clean load of laundry from the dryer, I stumbled slightly under the weight of the laundry basket and pitched forward into the door jam. I righted myself quickly, and thankfully nothing fell out of the basket, but as I did, I heard a slight ripping sound, which is never aContinue reading “Day 48 – Sunday, May 3, 2020 or I’m just not allowed to have nice things”

My husband and his high school buddies organized a Zoom conference call for Friday evening. We made sure that we ate dinner earlier than normal so he’d be ready for the call. Now I mistakenly thought that wives would be invited, at least for the beginning of the call, you know just to say hiContinue reading “Day 47 — Saturday, May 2, 2020 or last night was a Zoom night!”

May is my favorite month, not just because it’s my birthday month (although that does help!), but because it’s when the weather finally starts to get nicer. It’s warmer, there’s more sunshine, more flowers and folks are just plain happier. I know that I am. Now I do feel like this year April went byContinue reading “Day 46 — Friday, May 1, 2020 or it’s finally May!”

I’ve been home 7 weeks at this point, and I had not, until today, gone out for a midweek run. I’d been limiting my running to weekends, which is exactly what I tend to do when we’re not in a pandemic (you remember that time, right??). And I have no idea why I haven’t beenContinue reading “Day 45 — Thursday, April 30, 2020 or I finally made myself go for a midweek run!”

I haven’t been driving too much lately — honestly, I’ve never been much of a driver. I take the commuter rail train into work when we’re not in a pandemic. That leaves my car adventures to mostly weekends — I drive to yoga, to Target, to Kohl’s, maybe to the grocery store. Oh, T.J. Maxx!Continue reading “Day 44 — Wednesday, April 29, 2020 or today I finally started my car!”

OMG, you guys, my husband started construction this afternoon on one of the raised beds for the garden! I will admit that I was a tad skeptical at first — the design that he described sounded a little bit like the old raised beds, which only lasted two seasons and now they are busted. IContinue reading “Day 43 — Tuesday, April 28, 2020 or my garden is going to be amazing this year!”
