My husband is back to working in the office three days a week. This has been going okay, and it often leads to me having at least half a day a week alone in the house. I won't lie, sometimes that is nice. I never got annoyed or bored with having him home all the … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 63

Semi-quarantined Life Week 61
Should I just start calling this a food diary and not reference quarantine life? Nah, I'm going to stick with it for now since we still have one unvaccinated household member. Once she's good, we can circle back on that issue. However, this week I did go on a fun adventure with a friend which … Continue reading Semi-quarantined Life Week 61
Semi-Quarantined Life Week 60
The world continues to move toward a "return to normal," though I still hope we don't just go back to the way things were. I believe some things will stick. We learned a lot, as we should, from the last 15 months. We've experienced fear, anger, grief, desperation, loneliness, and anxiety. But we've also experienced … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 60
Semi-Quarantined Life (Week 59)
I am getting more and more comfortable with going back into the world. We are still wearing masks regardless of the new CDC recommendations. I think I mentioned that I might stay in one for a while. But I am relaxing about it a bit. I'll go outside in areas I'm unlikely to run into … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life (Week 59)
Semi-Quarantined Life (Week 58)
Oh I am perpetually behind on these. Life is busy these days. Since we are no longer totally locked down, there are the trips to grocery stores, patio dining with friends we've missed, and work is crazy busy. I think all of these things are good...somewhat stressful as I adjust...but they also really take away … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life (Week 58)
Semi-Quarantine Life Week 57
Well, we are officially living a less quarantined life. We go to grocery stores (not that often), and I've been doing some patio dining (again, not that often), but we are still being cautious. Our 11-year-old is a bit from being able to be vaccinated, so we are still a little protective. But we are … Continue reading Semi-Quarantine Life Week 57
Quarantine Life Week 56 – Hopefully Our Last Week of Full Lockdown
That title alone is anxiety producing. Don't get me wrong, I am excited. I am also very nervous about what life looks like when we can exit the bubble. I mean, we're only going to be doing a partial exit for now because of our youngest daughter, but things are going to change, and it … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 56 – Hopefully Our Last Week of Full Lockdown
Quarantine Life Week 55 – Coming Out
Well, the time we've both feared and looked forward to is coming, and it's coming quickly. My husband, middle daughter, and I got our second shots this week (April 11-18). Owen got his on Monday and so will be considered fully vaccinated April 26th, and Katie and I got ours Thursday, so will be good … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 55 – Coming Out
Quarantine Life Week 51
I'm a little behind on writing these, so my apologies if I seem to just bomb several posts. I cannot believe we have been doing this for almost a year! Thursday (3/18) - I combined the zucchini pasta and artichoke pasta recipes to create a creamy zucchini and artichoke pasta. It was pretty good, and … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 51
Quarantine Week 52
Well, this post marks an official year of the quarantine life. We actually went into quarantine on 3/16/20, but of course, my posts are a week behind. Things got a little crazy after this last week, so let's just jump into the food for now. Thursday (3/25) - We ordered Rockwell's for dinner. I got … Continue reading Quarantine Week 52
