Isolation at it’s finest





I know everyone else is going through the same things right now.  Uncertainty, confusion, isolation, maybe fear, loneliness.   It’s a different world out there.  I am trying to find some humor in the fact that we have been working with our doors locked for a week now, haven’t been able to go out to eat or drink or hang with friends.  It can be tough and I have found out the following things:

 - I absolutely feel better when I work out (please don’t tell anyone I said that.)  I am doing what I can at home but it’s sure easy to quit when no one else is around.

 - The friends we were going to see in Minneapolis are never inviting us again.  Snow storms the first time and a virus this time.  Pretty sure they think I am a jinx (and I actually know they think this because I was told so by them😜)

 -  A person can only clean so many freezers, closets, pantry’s, drawers in a weekend without going bonkers.  I did however find out that we will not starve.  Who in their right mind needs 16 cans of green beans, 12 packages of pork chops (anyone missing a pig??), and enough frozen spaghetti sauce to open my own Italian restaurant.   (Please note that none of these foods go together very well - but stay tuned for my Corona Cookbook - on sale at a later date🍝🥩🥗🧂🍲)

 - Planning an in house Pub Crawl can be fun.  My husband looked at me like I was nuts but by the 2nd bar (the dining room) he was totally into it and taking selfies like a true BFF on a night out!!  (Check out my pics below). If this lasts much longer, I will plan another one with costumes this time and maybe some face time with friends.

 - Dressing casual for work and wearing sneakers everyday is SO COMFY!  After 34 years of wearing dress clothes and shoes, it’s very weird to go to the office in my ‘weekend’ clothes.
Seriously though.  I hope you are all safe and healthy.  This shall pass and we will see you outside in the sunshine!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

So. Is wearing a mask our new normal??

Image
  As I get ready to go to the Dr for an appointment I find myself searching for the mask that will match what I am wearing.  REALLY??  I guess that shouldn’t surprise those of you that know me at all.  👸🏼👸🏼 I also ate breakfast before I left and normally would check my teeth and make sure my lipstick is spot on BUT I find myself in the kitchen thinking - WHY?  What does it matter if my lipstick is only on part of my lip?  What does it matter if I have bagel crumbs in my teeth?  NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE ME!!!!  Now don’t get me wrong, my eyes and eye brows are spot on.  But the rest....  whatever?👀💋 Found the right mask for the job and headed down the road.  Did the norm when I got to the clinic.  Mask on, sunglasses off, temperature taken, 20 questions answered, gold star sticker telling me I am good to go.  🎖🎖 Since I drank a larger than average coffee on the way, I have to stop at the ladies litter box quick before...

Beach Whales and Adorable Dolphins

As I told you in March after my exciting travels to St. Louis, I again got to do some traveling in April.   Scott and I got the opportunity to go to Los Cabos and stay at the Hilton Golf and Beach Resort.  Not going to lie, it was a tough week.    I was nervous about going thinking Scott would get bored easily…..   I was totally wrong.  We were up everyday at 6:30 to get to go and save our chairs by the pool/hot tub/swim up bar.  Then off to breakfast and back to our chairs for my morning “juice”.  My favorite flavors were either strawberry or banana with a tinge of rum.    We met some amazing new friends and one of them showed Scott how to locate the whales that were migrating.  SOOOO, while I sat in my chair sipping my juice and reading, Scott became the “WHALE WHISPERER”.   Kids were all over that.  And adults too.  He would stand in the infinity pool and point to the water.  Not sure there were whales or not ...

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOU...
