Liquid sunshine. Yes, we are the sunshine state. Yes, it is an amazing place to live. Yes, there is one often overlooked fact that we keep to ourselves: it is liquid sunshine a lot of the year. Interestingly enough, this year we have not had our usual rainfall so we are currently under a waterContinue reading “Day 45 | The Covid Chronicles”

Day 44 | The Covid Chronicles
The almost perfect day started with an outing – gasp! – yes… an outing. I have to say it was the coolest outing I have had in months… There is a little plant nursery down in Homestead that mainly has shrubs and ornamentals, from what we observed and based on our limited plant knowledge, thatContinue reading “Day 44 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 43 | The Covid Chronicles
One of my favorite things to do is sit on my porch or deck at first light. My neighborhood is lush with green and the music when it’s quiet is amazing. Its source is countless species of birds calling at daybreak and without the usual noise pollution from cars, planes, etc., it is lovely. BeforeContinue reading “Day 43 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 36 | The Covid Chronicles
Oh boy… What did I get myself into. My kitchen is by no means a large kitchen. It’s a decent size. It took a good amount of time to scrub cabinets and take down doors, and now I realize there is a project within the project. With such a clean view of the insides, seemsContinue reading “Day 36 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 35 | The Covid Chronicles
Day 1 of kitchen cabinets project and my husband has not kicked me out of the house yet. That’s a good sign considering the house smelled of vinegar and the doors and drawers are without knobs. I expect the situation will get precarious once the sanding begins… not sure what I got myself into, butContinue reading “Day 35 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 34 | The Covid Chronicles
Amazed at the fact that it has been this long and my son and I haven’t killed each other yet. I have to say, I have very much enjoyed hanging out with him this month. Some very much needed time for us. Today a new member of the tribe entered our stratosphere for about aContinue reading “Day 34 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 33 | The Covid Chronicles
The Covid Crazy continues with a redo of our back garden and some succulent baby-making, including countless trips up and down a ladder to trim our clusias. OMG! I am so sore from yesterday I am worried about tomorrow – the second day is always worse. It feels good to accomplish as much as weContinue reading “Day 33 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 31 | The Covid Chronicles
Today was a free day. A social distance bike ride with a friend got me out of the house for a while as well as some amazing croquetas and pastelitos… thank my lucky stars that Bella Bakery is open for take out. The creature reconnected to the matrix after school and our daily bike rideContinue reading “Day 31 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 21 | The Covid Chronicles
Every Tuesday is my early day. Or at least it has been for three weeks now. Five AM was about the only time to get through the blundering mess that is our reemployment assistance website with multiple crashes before successfully submitting a claim. I learned that little trick the hard way, after spending almost fiveContinue reading “Day 21 | The Covid Chronicles”
Day 15 | The Covid Chronicles
It has been a stand-off kind of day. Ding-dong lost his Xbox yesterday [for all of today] and when he realized I was sticking to my guns had a meltdown. A full blown, “go get a job, you suck, you can’t even work at [insert anything here],” all because I told him we had aContinue reading “Day 15 | The Covid Chronicles”
