He honestly doesn’t. So far today he’s gone to Home Depot, National Lumber, Shaw’s and Wines & More. Yes, he is working on a home improvement project and needed some more wood stain from National Lumber and had to pick up an order from Home Depot. And yes, I appreciate that he’s always on theContinue reading “Day 12 — Saturday, March 28, 2020 or my husband just doesn’t understand how to stay home”

So my husband left the house two different times today — he went to Home Depot, Shaw’s, the office twice to print plans, the Big Y supermarket (he said something about smoking a pot roast tomorrow..) and to the liquor store (he needed to pick up a new 1/6 keg of Harpoon). Then his bossContinue reading “Day 11 — Friday, March 27, 2020 or who wants to do a virtual happy hour??”

So I just watched a story on the nightly news that talked about how you could bring coronavirus germs into your home on your shoes — on your SHOES! So now after I come home from the grocery store (was there for 10 minutes today, didn’t use a shopping basket, didn’t talk to anyone, walkedContinue reading “Day 10 — Thursday, March 26, 2020 or maybe I shouldn’t watch the news anymore…”

But please don’t tell him! I was really worried for our first full day home together — not that he was home the whole time — he went into the office to print some files for a co-worker (ugh, I never asked him if he went to drop off said files to the co-worker becauseContinue reading “Day 9 — Wednesday, March 25, 2020 or maybe having my husband home isn’t that bad…”

I spent most of the morning cleaning up our dining room so my husband could set up his home office. Yes, I was supposed to be working, not searching for a silly surge protector that we misplaced months ago. (And yes, I am still dealing with all the junk that had to be moved outContinue reading “Day 8 — Tuesday, March 24, 2020 or the day my house became way too small…”

Our governor announced this morning that as of tomorrow at 12 p.m., all non-essential businesses must close and those workers are to remain at home for the next two weeks. My private self quarantine will be ending — my husband will be now stuck at home with me. I’m not quite sure how this isContinue reading “Day 7 – Monday, March 23, 2020 or my last day solo self quarantining”

Here it is Sunday night — my husband and I are doing our normal Sunday routine — we slept in a little, yoga class at 10 a.m. for me (did it virtual today!), he went for a run. I put together the weekely shopping list — he did the food shopping, I cleaned out theContinue reading “Day 6 – Sunday, March 22, 2020 or why am I running around preparing for the work week??”

I sure did, boy was that a surprise! But some good news — our “spare” bathroom renovation was completed yesterday! It’s beautiful!! It’s a totally different room now! Clean, bright and looks so much bigger!! And no more robin’s egg blue toilet, tub and sink (it wasn’t too blue in the before picture, just takeContinue reading “Day 5 – Saturday, March 21, 2020 or I kinda forgot what was going on when I woke up this morning…”

Today was a weird day. I slept through my alarm for the first time all week. I still “arrived” at work on time, but I felt pretty off my game for most of the morning. Then work was actually a little busy today, which I so appreciate because I was so, so bored yesterday. IContinue reading “Day 4 — Friday, March 20, 2020 or where the heck do we go on Friday night now??”

Day 3 was a busy morning — we had a packed house for about an hour, which is the exact opposite of social distancing people… Our bathroom contractor was here first thing. Today was also our house cleaner’s day to clean our house (yes, I have a house cleaner, don’t judge me! It’s the mostContinue reading “Day 3 — Thursday, March 19, 2020 or my house is finally cleaned and put back together…sort of”
