Day 471 — Wednesday, June 30, 2021 or my garden is finally producing!
I started planting my vegetable garden a few months ago — it was probably April when when I put all the seeds in the ground. I was really proud when all the little tiny stalks started popping up out of the dirt. And then we got a big heat wave in mid-May, which is pretty…
Day 470 — Tuesday, June 29, 2021 or excuse me, sir, but is that a mouse in your gym bag?
My husband went to a HIIT class at the gym tonight. I was in the kitchen when he got home. He walked in, we said hello, then he dropped his water bottle in the kitchen sink, put his keys on the counter and turned to hang his gym bag on one of the chairs at…
Day 469 — Monday, June 28, 2021 or it’s not easy being green
Or yellowish in the case of my new garden friend: I almost stepped on this little guy this morning. I was outside in the garden checking on my plants — it’s really hot here right now and I wanted to make sure they were doing OK. Our irrigation system ran this morning so at least…
Day 366 — Wednesday, March 17, 2021 or well, that was a year
I have now been working from home for exactly a year. And I guess a day… It went by so fast and also so very, very slow. And what have I actually done with all that time stuck in my home? You’d think all my closets would finally be organized or I’d have cleaned out…
Day 361 — Friday, March 12, 2021 or they’re back!!
OMG — you guys, they’re BACK!! Yes, my favorite little house finches from last year! They came back! And it looks like they are already scouting places to build a nest again in the exact same spot as last year. Stupid birds, why would you want to build your nest right next to my front…
Day 359 — Wednesday, March 10, 2021 or I can’t go to Target anymore during a pandemic
Reason #3,562 why I cannot go to Target anymore during a pandemic: I obviously really like Easter decorations, but this might be getting a tad out of control. And my husband is definitely going to be annoyed with my new additions. But just how cute are they??? Who doesn’t need a stuffed bird dressed as…
Day 358 — Tuesday, March 9, 2021 or finally someone might have moved into the birdhouse!
My husband’s boss built us a birdhouse last spring — it was his pandemic craft project. He even hung the birdhouse on a tree in the backyard for us, which was a very good thing because there is absolutely no way that my husband would ever hang it. He claims that he doesn’t like to…
Day 353 — Thursday, March 4, 2021 or I’m just not sure what day it is anymore…
I really have no idea what day of the week it is anymore. It all started on Monday — by Monday afternoon I was already thinking that it was Tuesday. I didn’t really think that Monday was an exceptionally long day or anything like that, but I did have three Zoom meetings so that could…
Day 349 — Sunday, February 28, 2021 or why do I keep going to Michael’s?
I went to the craft store Michael’s this afternoon for one thing and I came out of the store with eight items. I only needed to buy 11 X 14 inch canvases which cost $10.99 for a pack of seven, but ended up spending $96. How is that even possible?? And now I’m not even…
Day 347 — Friday, February 26, 2021 or I swear I didn’t order that
Earlier this afternoon, a furniture delivery truck drove slowly down our street. “You didn’t order any furniture, did you?” asked my husband. He sounded absolutely horrified that this large delivery truck could be stopping at our home. And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the current state of our household during this pandemic. Don’t…
