Murfreesboro

The first leg of our journey to Florida brought us to Murfreesboro, TN. I had booked a VRBO rental that graciously allowed us to bring our cats. It was a cute little studio apartment attached to the hosts’ home.

Surprise Family Reunion

This past weekend, Jeff and I traveled down to my aunt’s house in Janesville to “help” with her and my grandparents’ garage sale. As I have mentioned in past posts, my grandparents are moving out of the house they have lived in for over 50 years. My aunt added a bunch of stuff from their house to a garage sale that included stuff from my uncle’s business that he is moving.

Wedding Time!

Wedding!

The General Manager of our store, The Game Capital, got married this past Saturday. I had been excited for the wedding for awhile, but I was a little nervous as it got closer because of the high rates of Delta COVID cases in our area. In the whole country, really.

Vacation

Jeff and I took our first vacation since February 2020, when we went to Cancun. That seems so long ago…

We hadn’t left the state since due to COVID and we didn’t want to fly anywhere just yet. We figured a road trip would be best.

Date Day!

Jeff is officially 2 weeks past his last vaccination! We celebrated by having our first “Date Day” outing in over a year.

Mother’s Day

I got to see a lot of family that I haven’t seen since September this weekend. Most of my mom’s side of the family gathered at my mom’s house for Mother’s Day yesterday. My grandparents are home from Arizona for the summer, so I got to see them.

First Haircut Since COVID

I got my first haircut since COVID “started” over a year ago! I decided a long time ago that I would need to find a new stylist and salon.

UTV & First Restaurant Since COVID

My sister and nephew were at my parents’ house in Iola for a few days, so I took a trip over to visit them and see the new Polaris UTV my parents got for themselves. They ordered it a few weeks ago and weren’t expecting it until June, so that was a pleasant surprise!

Getting Back Out There

Now that I am officially 2 weeks past my second vaccine dose, I am basically safe to go out shopping, visit people, and so on. While wearing a mask, of course.

Second Dose

Vaccine

I got my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday!

It was once again a very quick process. Drove to UWGB, walked into the Kress Center, checked in at the desk, and a matter of minutes later, I was sitting in the waiting room for the precautionary 15 minutes after my shot.

35

It is my birthday. I turned 35-years-old. Yikes. I guess that is better than the alternative.

I still don’t even feel like I am a real adult, so it seems crazy. 40 is only 5 years away.

Easter 2021

We celebrated Easter this past Sunday with my family at my parents’ house. We all have at least one vaccination and spent most of our time outside, so we deemed it safe. We don’t always celebrate Easter in our family, since we aren’t religious. We used to do egg hunts and Easter meals as children at my grandparents’ house, but didn’t keep up with that as all of the younger generation grew up.

First Dose

I am very happy to report that I got my first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine today!

The Vaccine

I cannot wait to get the vaccine.

I feel like I am going to be the last person that can actually get it. In fairness, there are a ton more people that need it and/or should get it before I do.

After the Fact

Today I learned that one of our staff members had COVID a few months ago. They quarantined and are fine now. It does not seem as though they passed it to anyone else on staff, luckily. So, it’s all fine in that regard.

Christmas 2020

We usually celebrate Christmas Eve at my in-law’s house. Due to Covid, there was no Christmas gathering with his family this year. Jeff and I celebrated on our own with gifts, Christmas movies, and takeout from Chili’s.

What to Do About Christmas

I am having a tough time deciding what Jeff and I should do for Christmas.

We didn’t gather with family for Thanksgiving, even though I visited them the weekend before that. The cases in Wisconsin spiked after my visit and the governor and healthcare workers begged people not to get together for Thanksgiving. So, we decided not to.

NOOM

I started using the NOOM App yesterday. I haven’t been eating very well since I did the Game On! Diet Challenge and I needed something to kick my butt back into gear.

I had tried NOOM a few years ago and I wasn’t good at tracking my meals, so it wasn’t useful to me at the time.

I plan my life out a day at a time, so my posting schedule can be erratic.
