A Grateful Hump Day

Hello, Wednesday! Thank goodness for my routines. They help me stay grounded even when I don’t sleep well and feel aimless. Today I got up and out the door for a nice walk with my podcasts.  Many of my favorite podcasters are staying consistent with their schedules, thank goodness.  Perhaps we are all craving that […]


Cinco de Mayo a la Covid

What does one do when a very loud thunderstorm wakes her up at 3:30 am? She starts her day early with an hour on the Bow Flex, drinks a little regular coffee and gets a lot done (including mopped floors and clean bathrooms) by 8:30 am. Under the umbrella of staying connected to people, I […]


A Moment of Fame

Mason made a meme and posted it on Reddit. He has been making lots of them since Covid started.  Today, one of his memes was recognized on Piediepie’s vlog today. The video is called, “I uploaded this by mistake….!!” and Mason’s meme appears roughly at the timestamp of 8:50. When he saw he had been […]


My Sock Arms Sweater

Greetings! Today I finally put my sweater on so I could send pictures to the designer for her review. This sweater has been a long time in the works, going back a few years now. Not knowing exactly what I’ve shared thus far, I’ll start at the beginning. The Sock Arms Sweater was designed by […]


A Sunny Saturday

Today was a productive day.  I started with early morning prayer in bed and followed that with a good Zoom meeting of friends. I made bread and wrote at least twelve sunshine postcards. My sweater blocked out well and I exhaled a sigh of relief.  I now have big yarn dreams and goals.  I also […]


May Day

Today started off with a bang! I ran five miles for the first time in ages. The sun shone and the spring flowers were in bloom. Then I went to a meeting in Brooklyn, New York! Covid has given me to opportunity to Zoom with people I know from other parts of the country.  Today […]


Dress Rehearsal

There is this funny thing that knitters do when they finish up a project. It’s the bathroom selfie and I find it to be highly unflattering.  However, here I am trying to get an idea of the fit on the sweater I have been knitting since quarantine started.  I’m smiling but inside I am crying.  […]


Picking Joy

My day started off great with a happy walk this morning.  In the morning light I picked flowers.  Some might call them weeds but isn’t it all just a matter of attitude?  When I spied this beautiful sidewalk art, my heart felt light and joyful.  While I don’t know these neighbors, Bill and I have […]


Food News!

We had another exciting delivery today from Misfits.  In times like these, these boxes offer such promise.  They check all my boxes (no pun intended) with their element of surprise, their healthy contents and the trip they save me the trip to the grocery stores for fresh produce.  The struggle of trying to find a […]


Masked

Mason has a new spin on the essential mask.  Our consummate comedian placed a glass lid in front of his face and synched it in place with his hoodie so it was snug.  It actually worked in its own way. Today I started my day with a morning run with the bunnies.  Bill helped me […]
