The yoga studio that I’ve been going to the past 7 years opened back up last month for in person classes, and thank goodness! Sure I enjoyed being able to do a virtual yoga class from the privacy of my own home at any time that I wanted to, but there is just something aboutContinue reading “Day 132 — Sunday, July 26, 2020 or thank goodness that yoga is back!”

I can’t believe how big they are! They are now officially taller than I am, which honestly isn’t saying too much, but you get the point. And I picked my first ripe tomatoes this evening! Look at these little grape tomatoes: There is just nothing like fresh tomatoes from the garden. They honestly taste soContinue reading “Day 131 — Saturday, July 25, 2020 or my tomato plants are ridiculously huge!”

How does this always happen?? The yoga studio I’ve been going to for 7 years is hosting a 6-week workshop. It’s based on a 40-day program created by a famous yoga instructor. It was advertised that every day students would have to do a yoga practice, a meditation and journal — all on your own,Continue reading “Day 130 — Friday, July 24, 2020 or I think I might have just totally overcommitted myself…”

Today was my first day back to work after vacation. (Please insert deep sigh here.) Now the first day back to work after a vacation is always a bummer. And it doesn’t help when your vacation place and your work place just happen to be the same place, which also just happens to be yourContinue reading “Day 129 — Thursday, July 23, 2020 or back to work, but not back to the office…”

My friends left early this morning — they had a 10 hour drive in front of them, so they obviously wanted to get an early start. My husband and I got up to say goodbye, but then got right back into bed after they left. Ahh, vacation! So now I had the whole last dayContinue reading “Day 128 — Wednesday, July 22, 2020 or sadly, it’s my last day of vacation”

There really isn’t! My friends are visiting today and I took the day off. We don’t have any plans, and I am totally fine with that! One of my friends has to work today, so we’ve been giving her some space as she holds virtual meetings in my home “office”. Better her than me! ThatContinue reading “Day 127 — Tuesday, July 21, 2020 or there’s just nothing like a vacation day!”

Or I will after I attend one quick morning meeting and answer a few e-mails…why is it that there is just always something to do when you are trying to take a few days off?? My weekly Monday morning Zoom meeting went longer than I had hoped (some Mondays it’s only 10 minutes, that’s myContinue reading “Day 126 — Monday, July 20, 2020 or I’m actually going to take a few days off!”

I took the next 3 days off from work. I guess you’d call them vacation days, but we’re not going anywhere. And referring to it as a “staycation” just seems wrong. I mean what else have I been doing since March?? Sure, I’ve been working full time, but I haven’t left my house in orderContinue reading “Day 125 — Sunday, July 19, 2020 or the next couple days I am going to do something different…”

My husband really likes his routine. This is a man who likes to order the same pizza from the same takeout place every Thursday evening for diner. They’re so used to him by now that they sometimes mess with him when he calls to place the order. (Don’t worry — they deliver the correct pizza!)Continue reading “Day 124 — Saturday, July 18, 2020 or thank goodness it’s still the weekend!”

It all started very early this morning — around 2:30 a.m. the smoke detector in our bedroom started chirping again. Yes, the same smoke detector that my husband had to change the battery in like 2 weeks ago! How does that even happen?? Did we get a faulty battery? And actually, it beeped the firstContinue reading “Day 123 — Friday, July 17, 2020 or why does Friday just keep getting away from me??”
