I surprised Kaitlin at her home on Thursday. She does so much and is so thoughtful and loving to others that I wanted to do something nice for her. I also wanted to see her because I love her so it wasn't 100% selfless but I'll take what I can get. Showing people that I…

Monday after work, Elisabeth and I drove to Tagawa Gardens' parking lot to meet Brittany so she could show me the art piece I had commissioned from her. I had seen a rough sketch of the piece but not the finished, colored product. Upon seeing the completed portrait, I was astounded. Amazed. Shocked. She drew…

No more counting days. I saw my family yesterday, breaking my isolation, so I think that means I can stop counting. Is covid over? Definitely not. I won't be doing pre-covid things, I won't be seeing all the people I used to see, but I will start to see my family more and a friend…

What happened today? I always try to celebrate the little moments, especially now, but sometimes it's hard to come up with stuff. Not today though I don't think. Today I felt cute in my jean dress, cat tights, and converse. Cat tights for the win. I'm still working on wearing clothes that I feel good…

Well, I tried making vegan blondies last night, inspired by The Melting Pot fondue Elisabeth and I are getting this Friday (they have vegan chocolate and vegan cheese options!). I say "tried" because they aren't very good. As I told Elisabeth last night, "Vegan baking will NOT get the best of me!" I don't quite…

I enjoyed my tofu bahn mi yesterday evening. I mention it because I could only find firm tofu at the store the other day and we've only ever made this dish with extra firm tofu before, so I was a little hesitant. Turns out that the firm tofu, while harder to cook, was really good,…

Last night I was in the baking mood so I made snickerdoodle cookies. They did not turn out soft and puffy like the recipe said but the taste was delicious and the recipe is promising. It was also just fun to make them and to be happy throughout the process. Elisabeth and I danced to…

The past few evenings have been filled with friends and relaxation. I video chatted with my family Wednesday night and it did wonders on my mental health. Yay! I showed off my paintings and we played an online game that Kevin had found. I can't remember the name of it but know that it's similar…

Today has been kind of rough emotionally. A couple of my friends were struggling last night and while I'm glad they shared their feelings with me (I do not want them to feel alone), their sharing made me feel sad and it trickled into today and that combined with this whole situation, left me feeling…

The Botanic Gardens had their annual plant sale today. Last year I took the day off work, went right when they opened, and strolled the gardens looking at all the plants while my hands froze. I brought a wagon I had borrowed and filled it with plants for the yard. That's when I bought a…
