A year on the inside...

It's been a year since I've been on the inside. Meaning a year since our lives were turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. And wow a lot has happened.

  • Lost 20 lbs

  • Bought no less than 10 pair of lounge pants

  • Started two different wine home delivery memberships

  • Tried a home meal delivery service for a week

  • Didn't step inside of a grocery store

  • Started complimenting people on their masks instead of their shade of lipstick

  • Turned our yard into a Halloween destination in our neighborhood

  • Didn't make sourdough, but I made a TON of banana bread

  • Started making fresh pasta

  • Celebrated Thanksgiving the whole month of November

  • Opened Christmas presents over Zoom

  • And while we're talking about Zooms … I have no idea how many zoom happy hours I've been on

The list is forever long and now we're entering a new season. Still social distancing. Still wearing masks. But hopeful for vaccinations and travel and lots of fun in the pool over the summer! Stay safe everyone. Wear your mask and wash your hands.
