Yes, I bought more plants yesterday at Home Depot and 5 more bags of soil. But I spent under $100 (for once)! So my plan today was to finish potting all the flowering plants I’ve bought this week (yes, I went twice this week to buy plants…) in all my ceramic pots. I typically spreadContinue reading “Day 82 — Saturday, June 6, 2020 or I’m just a gardening fool!”

And I went to visit a friend!! You remember those types of people, right? People that you hang out with, maybe even outside of your home. They’re actually right in front of you, in the flesh, not on a Zoom call. You might even have to travel to see them. And bring your keys andContinue reading “Day 81 — Friday, June 5, 2020 or I snuck out of work a little early today…”

My husband and I got the best gift today — a 30 lbs. box showed up on our front door step this afternoon — filled with beer!! Look at all that beer! That’s 36 cans of beer, my friends! And it’s all from two local breweries in McKinley, Texas. A friend of my husband’s fromContinue reading “Day 80 — Thursday, June 4, 2020 or sometimes the best gifts come in cans!”

Global Running Day is June 3 — I believe it’s annually celebrated on June 3, I always promise myself that I will participate, but for some reason or another I don’t. It’s probably because back in normal times, when I come home from work, I just don’t want to go back out there for aContinue reading “Day 79 — Wednesday, June 3, 2020 or today I participated in Global Running Day”

So my outdoor plants are doing fabulous! The new raised garden beds are amazing (thank you, husband!). I can’t believe how much everything has grown in the 3 weeks since I started planting. This is definitely the earliest that I have EVER started my vegetable garden and it shows. Sure, some of the seeds IContinue reading “Day 78 — Tuesday, June 2, 2020 or has it really been 78 days?!?”

And I was feeling very unfocused again today. There really wasn’t anything going on at work and I wasn’t motivated enough to start anything new. Maybe it’s because of everything else going on right now. So I took myself to Home Depot this afternoon and bought a bunch of flowering plants for my garden. TheyContinue reading “Day 77 — Monday, June 1, 2020 or well, it was a Monday”

Sunday has always been food shopping day in my household. I’ll put the list together in the morning — I focus on what we need for breakfast and lunch during the week, any household items we’re running low on like toilet paper and paper towels (haha!) and I will also list if we have anyContinue reading “Day 76 — Sunday, May 31, 2020 or here we are again — the start of a new week!”

And I think that I might have gotten a little bit too much sun. I went for a run — it was a slow one because it was pretty warm out there, but at least I went. Then I spent most of the afternoon out in the garden picking up all the fallen crap fromContinue reading “Day 75 — Saturday, May 30, 2020 or it was a hot one today!”

I seriously can’t tell. Was yesterday Monday? Am I supposed to be working today? Could I have slept in this morning? I honestly have no idea. And that’s OK, right?? I’ve had trouble concentrating this week — with my work tasks, my home tasks, just with everything. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened thisContinue reading “Day 74 — Friday, May 29, 2020 or what day is it now?!?”

Seems like pretty darn good this year! I went outside this evening to check on the raised garden beds — the spinach seeds that I planted less than a week ago are already sprouting! I am super excited about this, which sounds silly, but I’ve had such bad luck growing spinach in past years. IfContinue reading “Day 73 — Thursday, May 28, 2020 or how does my garden grow?”
