I’m borrowing from this article I read the other day. The ideas are not mine and I have attached the link to the article and give full credit to the author. Hereto follows suggestions for us to do other than watching Netflix. [First off, Netflix is barely on the table anyway. He wouldn’t have made … Continue reading Things Todd & I Can Do While Quarantined Together

Quarantine Day 22: Joy
Welp, today’s the day. Todd says “someone” smells like pee and since I’m pretty sure it’s not me, Sabra is getting her bath today. Her fur is long and getting fluffier by the day so I anticipate this is going to be a joyful adventure. I read that monkeys shouldn’t eat bananas, that it’s equivalent … Continue reading Quarantine Day 22: Joy
Quarantine Day 21: No April Fools’ Jokes
I am intentionally keeping Q-Day posts as short as possible (goal: under 1000 words) for quick reading, and broke it into 3 sections. Section 1: updates and random thoughts.

This year I was eager to get the Christmas tree and Veruca was equally excited. The two of us drove to the tree farm and there were about … Continue reading Life As It Becomes More
Where We’ve Been
It’s been a busy month or so. September – a friend’s 50th birthday celebration, a living history event with Frida Kahlo, two wine festivals we planned but bagged out on, and dinner with Todd’s parents. We, on behalf of the college, attended a fundraiser for families of children who passed suddenly. The mother of a … Continue reading Where We’ve Been
Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
So, in case you missed it, I’m still in recovery. Todd says, YOU’VE HAD MAJOR SURGERY, at least once a day. He’s living life dangerously. Last week we had the septic system pumped out. I got up that morning and suddenly remembered the 3-foot-tall mint patch surrounding the cover, and knew beyond a shadow of … Continue reading Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
