Chad cleaned the refrigerator today. #QuarantineWin Chad says this isn’t that impressive, especially without a before photo. I actually asked if he would be troubled if I posted a photo of the inside of our refrigerator. I don’t understand his boundaries, and I could see where one’s consumables are a window to the soul. Perhaps…

Today was the third day in a row that I ran a mile. I think these runs were successful–super slow and a little uncomfortable, but apparently not exacerbating whatever leg issue I have, or causing a new one. I’m afraid to publicly state this, in case I jinx myself. I’m scared to get my hopes…

With the end of this week I finished my sixth week of working entirely from home, and of Staying At Home. That feels significant and something I should observe in some way. I’m not really sure what to say, though–time’s going too fast, work is stressing me out, I like spending more time at home…

Happy Earth Day! Earth Day and I are both products of 1970 and Wisconsin! (Yes, I’m giving Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson credit for founding Earth Day). I am hardly an outdoor adventurer, but I do appreciate lovely weather and the chance to be outdoors, especially this Earth Day. I’m not sure how I could stay…

Today is the end of my 50 Days of Amy blogging challenge! I made it! Whoo-hoo! Whenever I used to fish for accomplishment related praise Chad would ask me if I wanted a cookie. He eventually stopped because I almost never wanted an actual cookie–booze or something salty seems to give more bang for the…

Our house is plenty big for two people (and 3-5 small pets) but it’s nothing extravagant. I don’t know the exact square footage, but it’s no McMansion. Still, I’ve discovered new spaces in our house since Minnesota’s Stay at Home Order (SAHO) has been in place. Okay, I didn’t literally find new spaces in our…

I don’t know who I would be without the song “Back on The Chain Gang” by The Pretenders. I’ve been singing it (not necessarily well) for the last 5 years with all the various incarnations of our band, “Pigeons From Hell.” (Band anniversary coming up in June! We are on band lineup version 4.0 now).…

Chad and I did the Minnesota Public Radio’s (MPR) “Bring the Sing” tonight. At 5:53 tonight, we sat on our front step while we played Carole King’s version of “You’ve Got a Friend” via the MPR News station. We sang, sort of. We were the only people out in on our block (although we did…

The other “night” (actually 4:00ish in the morning) I was awoken by the worst Charley Horse that I’ve ever had. (It was the classic in the calf of the leg kind). I’ve never given birth or had kidney stones so my pain scale is limited, but I think this was the most painful thing I’ve…
