OMG guys, we are back to sitting at the BAR on a Friday night!!! Oh, how much I have missed this!! Sure, I have enjoyed outdoor dining on Friday nights, the big white tents set up in parking lots have made me feel like I was vacationing on Cape Cod. It was a treat andContinue reading “Day 207 — Friday, October 9, 2020 or we are back at the bar!!”

Yesterday afternoon, we had a quick thunderstorm blow through our area. It was definitely in the weather forecast, but the timing and severity kept changing. I’m not a huge fan of driving in bad storms, especially storms that make the roads slick with fallen leaves. But I’ve been trying to get to Target for almostContinue reading “Day 206 — Thursday, October 8, 2020 or we’re waving the white flag, 2020!!”

Seriously — it makes every single office task SO much easier! Why retype something over and over again if you can just use the copy and paste function?? I must use the copy and paste function 100s of times a day! At least that’s what it feels like some days. I guess that I reallyContinue reading “Day 170 — Wednesday, September 2, 2020 or thank goodness for copy and paste”

I thought my husband was going to have a meltdown today. He turns the TV on in our living room pretty much the minute that he gets up and it stays on all day while he works in our kitchen. I like background sounds too, but for me it’s the radio, my husband likes 90sContinue reading “Day 169 — Tuesday, September 1, 2020 or the day the TV died”

But please don’t tell anyone! Back in July, I signed up for a 40 days yoga and meditation program and one of the requirements was a 45 minute Zoom check in every Monday night. And I will admit — I was not looking forward to this part. I attend plenty of Zoom meetings for myContinue reading “Day 168 — Monday, August 31, 2020 or I might be actually enjoying Zoom meetings…”

I signed up for a series of virtual painting classes at the beginning of August, and big surprise — I have yet to do a single class. I’m an expert at overcommitting myself, that is for sure! Today the instructor did a little pop up class — she purchased a ceramic truck from the craftContinue reading “Day 167 — Sunday, August 31, 2020 or I did a half-ass job in my painting class”

I went to the 4 p.m. service at our local church this afternoon. I’ve been trying to go every weekend since they were allowed to re-open in June. It’s brought a little bit on normalcy back to my weekends. You remember weekends, right? Those two days in between the work week where you could stayContinue reading “Day 166 — Saturday, August 29, 2020 or please don’t sit that close to me…”

Seriously, why am I so tired? Is there a full moon? I shouldn’t be this tired — it’s been a beautiful sunny week in August. I’ve been loving the hot temperatures, my tomatoes are finally ripening, it’s been gorgeous. Sure, I’ve been stuck working at home all week, but I’ve been doing that since mid-March.Continue reading “Day 165 — Friday, August 28, 2020 or why am I so tired this week??”

On Thursday afternoons, I answer my company’s COVID-19 Hotline phone number. Basically you can call the Hotline with pretty much any question from where can you get a COVID-19 test to how can you access your office if you’re currently remote, and the answering staff member will walk you through your situation and try toContinue reading “Day 164 — Thursday, August 27, 2020 or I should have just gone for a run”

Seriously?? Look at it: It’s beautiful and such a good size — I am so proud of it! (hmmm…that sounds a little dirty…) But now, what do I do with it? Do I slice it up and try grilling it? Or should I do a little sautéing with some olive oil on the stove top?Continue reading “Day 163 — Wednesday, August 26, 2020 or now what do I do with this zucchini??”
