I took Thursday and Friday off work. I had no set plans other than to relax. I needed time off. I needed time by myself. I haven’t really had that lately, and while that’s not terrible, it turns out I do need alone time more often than perhaps I initially thought. We all need time … More 1-23-21 Mini vacation
After taking a walk during my lunch break I picked up a package and checked the mail because I realized neither Elisabeth nor I had gotten the mail in at least a week. I forget about the mail all the time. But I’m glad I didn’t forget today because what was waiting for me? A … More 9-29-20

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 … More 4-28-20 Day 46
