This week we got a couple of days of decent air quality and a break from the smokey views! It was so nice to get in an evening run! The air quality is back in the unhealthy range again and smokey, but it was good to get a break and enjoy a little outdoor time […]
Still In Tough Times for the List
As you’ve probably heard, the entire west coast is burning. Thankfully we’re not directly affected by the fires, just lots of smoke and hazardous air quality making for another weekend sheltering inside. Tuesday was very eerie with ash raining down in the afternoon as I left work. I keep indoor pandemic masks and outdoor filtering […]
Better for the List
Well, it’s less smoky here now, the air quality has improved, but still not good enough for outdoor runs and dining out. And work has been busy, very busy. Friday was a very long day that started at 6AM with server issues, so it’s been nice to decompress a little this weekend. Miko has been […]
Melting for the List
Ugh, we are melting here with a high of 110 degrees. The weather has been so strange this week, but triple digits every day for the next 10 days is a little depressing. It was already hot when I got up at 6:30 am this morning and had to get Miko out on a long […]
Low Key Birthday for the List
Another week flew by and cases are so bad in CA now we’re just trying to hang in there are ride this out. Last week was my birthday and it was a low key day at home of presents, garden fun, vegan pizza and gaming. We joked at husband’s low key, shelter in place birthday […]
Garden Progress for the List
We’re still focusing on our garden during these crazy times and made a little progress this week around busy work schedules and triple digit heat. The starter plants are outgrowing the AeroGarden seed starter tray, so hubby finished up the drip sprinkler system on one of the garden beds to start relocating plants to – […]
New Garden for the List
To get through these interesting times, we decided to shift our focus to our backyard and make it more of an outdoor getaway and garden. We have a large side yard that had low wooden garden beds and fruit trees. But maintaining the ground around proved to be a challenge over the last couple of […]
New Home Adventures for the List
Did you have a good 4th? It was quiet here, we avoided a family gathering with climbing Covid-19 cases and it was a bummer. But we did discover the 4th is a great day to shop for garden goodies for our new backyard. Check out the progress! Basically half of our yard is being cleared […]
Staying Healthy for the List
Or trying to, it’s not easy these days with so much going on! It has been a busy and not too exciting week here again. It’s getting hotter, so Miko is happy to stretch out in the cool air conditioning after a long walk. But he’ll make an exception for warm blankets that just came […]
Making Positive Changes for the List
Hi there, how are you doing? It’s been another quiet-ish week and weekend here with me partially working from home and the office. Our gym re-opened Friday which I was tempted on, but think I am going to wait it out until July and keep working out at home and going for runs. While I […]
