Tuesday Things.
1. What is keeping you sane right now? Social media? Reading? Meditation? I want to know!
2. I find myself grieving little things that are very trivial but also such a part of our everyday life. It’s like every day I think of something different (for instance, our school routine will always be different since when Max goes back he will be in kindergarten) and I. Right now I’m looking forward to planting and flowers and hoping we can do that?! Can we go to a greenhouse?
3. Oh my gosh. Dalgona coffee cream puffs?! These are insane.
4. The sentence most said in this house is “STOP JUMPING OFF THE COUCH! WE CAN’T GO TO THE ER RIGHT NOW!!!” Who’s with me?!
5. Even though last week was difficult, it weirdly feels like April is blowing by. I know that sounds insane given the current situation, and I mean the days are SO long but I also can’t believe the month is half over. Maybe this is because I lost a week of my life finishing the book. Ha.
6. I am currently binge washing dishes. This is correct.
7. TV things!! I thought the Grey’s finale was fine. I sort of love the Teddy storyline even though this (or something) always happens to Owen! I am LOVING Little Fires Everywhere. It is so, so good. I’ve missed Kerry Washington on TV so much!
8. During bad times, don’t look down. Love this from my friend Rachel! It’s an excerpt from her book coming out in May which I am SO excited about.
9. Can’t wait to be out of quarantine but also sort of fearing the day when I have to put jeans on. Maybe I’ll wait until next fall.
10. I started You Deserve Each Other last night. It’s cute!

I am grieving the loss of the library! I bought 5 books yesterday. I work in health care so I work every day, and seeing people walk their dogs brings me such joy; normal things like baking and cooking have been even more therapeutic. And yes, I am, apparently, the only one in my house who can wash dishes CORRECTLY! And then, can you find anything if someone else puts the dishes away?!
I miss the library too but Libby is my saving grace. Let’s you checkout ebooks and audiobooks (my go to ) with your public library card through an app. I know it’s not a perfect replacement but figured I might mention it because it’s free.
In some places nurseries are considered essential businesses because they provide food. But, you can buy seeds online from lots of places. We have had great luck with Sow True Seeds and Urban Farmer.
we better be able to go to the nursery !!! thinking of flowers is keeping me sane. i go back and forth with good days and bad. ive been listening to more music and pod casts lately. i feel like i have forgotten what dress pants feel like and will i know how to do my makeup again ????????????
#4 all day. every day. Also loving Little Fires!
Yoga and meditation is definitely keeping me sane through these loooooooong days!!
Listening to our prime minister and premier who speak daily (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) on the radio. It breaks up the day and I feel properly informed. BTW I live in Canada. Also walking outside with my kiddos! Fresh air for all.
Working out, cooking/ baking projects (tonight I made tortillas), spending time outside, and getting my garden prepped for the summer has been keeping me sane.
#1 = daily workout and frequent FaceTiming with friends

Locations in Pittsburgh and North Suburbs. They are doing curbside pick-up and the Pittsburgh location is open to shop in as well.
There is more information on their Facebook page about the new process, but I have bought flowers and vegetable plants from them for years and they are always very good quality.
walking and running is my salvation. and writing. starting to re-up my blog. i wish i didn’t have so much fear around writing. ugh. you do it so effortlessly. i made your monster cookies over the weekend….i’ll never fit into jeans again! I read Rachel’s article on Don’t Look Down a few days ago. It resonated with me SO much. My mantra since my divorce started – Look Forward. Very similar to her Don’t Look Down. Love her writing!
Long walks with my family, riding my bike more and more as the weather improves, and MadFit videos have been keeping me sane.
And my husband bought himself an axe and has been splitting wood for fun during this time, a constant source of “have fun out there but be careful since there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell I’m taking you to an ER right now!” Oddly stressful!
This really made me laugh, partly because splitting wood is fantastic! I haven’t done it since I was a teenager and went camping, but I loved it and would stand there and do a whole pile. High five, Mr. Alex!
Omg. The “binge washing dishes”. The amount of dishes I did this past weekend was UNREAL! It may have partly had to do with it being Easter weekend but omg…the dishes did not stop!
Daily walks were keeping me sane but they closed my nearby park with the long walking trail I was using it. Now my new thing is I zoom chat with friends a couple times a week. I also am journaling more and enjoying time to do home workouts with the Nike Training Club app. I want to start playing more board games though but it’s hard in a house of two.
Arona Road green house is open they are also doing pick up.
