MyContinue reading “Day 72 — Wednesday, May 27, 2020 or we are already at Hump Day!”

And that’s because I was supposed to be at work, right?? It was absolutely gorgeous today — 76 – 80 degrees, full sun. The sky was so blue. So I took my work outside today!

I always want to sign up for painting classes. Back when the world was normal, our local Irish pub would host paint night classes a couple times of year. I would always try to go with two friends.

Happy Self Quarantining 43rd birthday to me! I absolutely love birthdays — mine, my husband, my friends, yours — any birthdays, I just love them.

I always enjoy baking — I find it really relaxing, unless it’s two days before Christmas and I am stressed because I haven’t baked enough Christmas cookies yet and I’m still wrapping presents and I should bake another pie — but typically I just enjoy putting ingredients together and coming out with something that smellsContinue reading “Day 67 — Friday, May 22, 2020 or I finally did some quarantining baking!”

Thank goodness! Hair salons can open back up for business on Monday here in Massachusetts. My stylist called me today to rebook the appointment that they had to cancel back in April and boy, do I need this appointment!

It wasn’t too bad, but there was definitely a line waiting to go into the main store. I got in after 5 minutes of waiting and headed over to the garden center area to look for seeds. I found what I needed and pushed my cart toward the outside section of the garden center, becauseContinue reading “Day 65 — Wednesday, May 20, 2020 or I finally braved the line at Home Depot”

I can’t believe how ahead of the gardening game I am this year! I now have all my seeds planted in the raised garden beds and today I planted the seeds for my container herb garden. All of this before Memorial Day! That is a record for me. I’m usually raking up fallen leaves andContinue reading “Day 64 — Tuesday, May 19, 2020 or my garden is going to be amazing this year!”

And I have no idea why! It seemed like a perfectly ordinary Monday during the COVID-19 pandemic. I got up, worked out, grabbed a cup of coffee while I checked my e-mails. A few people needed info, I sent it. And then the phone rang, and then it rang again. And then I had aContinue reading “Day 63 — Monday, May 18, 2020 or this Monday just got away from me…”
