We are going back to the office. Thankfully it is only for two days a week, which I hope becomes the new norm. Today was my first full day since March 13, 2020 of being in an office outside of my home. When everything shut down, we were instructed to come in to clean our… Continue reading First Full Duty Day

We’ve often had puzzles out on the table, especially during the winter months. Growing up, we had the same thing. When the pandemic hit, and not being able to go anywhere, we’ve had a puzzle on the table since Fall of 2019. Today, we are putting a pause on puzzling. A puzzle is great for… Continue reading Putting a Pause on Puzzles

Over the past five months, I’ve had five shots. That is more than I’ve had in the last twenty years. The tetanus shot was quite mundane. The first shingles shot was no biggie. The first and second Covid vaccines went off without a hitch, no real side effects other than a sore arm. This second… Continue reading Second Shingles Shot

The Stand, by Stephen King, is one of my favorite books. It has intrigue, drama, and an epic battle between good and evil. In the book, as in so many books and movies, good wins out in the end. I, as probably with most of us, want good to win. Even when we are sure… Continue reading Good and Evil

As I wrote about last week, I had an interview for a promotion at work for an Assistant Director position. There were several of my colleagues, all extremely talented, along with myself who applied for the position. Today we received the decision of who will be moving into the new position. The call I received… Continue reading Decision Made

Although it feels as if winter is still lingering, I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to get some seeds in the ground. Looking at six raised beds of dirt just wasn’t cutting it anymore. Earlier today I was talking to a friend about our gardens. She mentioned she had already placed several of her… Continue reading Seeds in the Ground

This evening we placed an order for Yats Cajun Food. Their meals are about as close to authentic one can get in our town. The food is good and the portion size is just about right. Plus you can’t beat the toasted bread that comes with each meal. The other day we ate at Noodles… Continue reading Take Out Pet Peeve

Ever have a hankering, nay, an overwhelming urge to rewatch a movie you haven’t seen in a while. A couple of weeks ago, the movie The Secret Language of Bees ran through my mind. This evening, while scrolling through Prime [correction, it was Peacock, not Prime], what should pop up but the movie that’s been… Continue reading Movie Was Calling

Our HOA Transition Committee meeting is in a couple of days. I need to do my homework to be prepared for discussion. One of the topics will be the CCRs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions). There has been a lot of chatter about the CCRs, both in agreement, and against, some of the items, such as… Continue reading Read the CCRs!

It was a morning of revisiting the Short North and memory lane, and an afternoon of traveling home. Although tired from the trip, there were still a few things to do. When I got home, I mowed grass before settling into making dinner. I had been planning on making meatloaf earlier this week, but it… Continue reading Meatloaf Tonight
