Focus on the simple things

the drive to work

Got up at 7am and headed into work early. Solo as T is still on a MWF schedule. It was cool out! 30° and really foggy. My commute was longer as our road is still closed so I had to take a detour.

Scandinavian Creek

the last of the ice

Lots more people in the building today. Staff meeting. About 10 people met in the library (social distancing) and others were Zooming. I was surprised that some were no-shows. We've been paid for over a month with very little work done, show up for the staff meeting people!

My work space is going to get a facelift soon, so I took some pictures to remind me of what it looks like. Should've taken some photos when I first started!

I actually really like the yellow.

It makes me happy. 

Grabbed some books to take to my coworker L. I stopped by her house and we went for a walk. It was cold out! 40° and overcast. She lives on the detour road, so there was a lot of traffic and it was really dusty. She invited me in - what an absolutely gorgeous view she has overlooking the tundra! Breathtaking!

Exhausted when I got home. Wanted to take a nap, but, alas, too much to do. Threw in a load of laundry. The washer was groaning and sounds like it's about to explode. Sigh. Yet another thing to deal with.

Had a phone appointment with a financial guy. Should probably squirrel away some nuts for the future. It's all so complicated. Still haven't dealt with the Roth IRA guy.

Day 33

Did I mention that it's freezing out?

Went for a walk with C. Lots of talk about what the region's doing re: The Virus. Rumor has it we'll all have to wear masks around town. And a couple of airlines are requiring them too. Sigh.

M's bedroom window

Still a pile ofsnow out there!

C made us a set of curtains for H's Virus room. M liked them so much that he swapped them out with his! I so appreciate the good friends and neighbors we have. Helps to know you can count on folks for little things. The simple joys of life!

another project 

T and M got some parts for their airplane. I am glad they are finding ways to occupy their time. I haven't checked M's schoolwork in two days. Tomorrow will be...

another day.
