And Now. . . What Am I Doing?

Remember how many times we've said, "Oh if I had more time, I would . .... . " Well, now we have that time. . . and plenty of it. So what am I doing?  I'll tell you.

First of all, I started having my kitchen remodeled right before we took a vacation to Florida with my daughter and her family. That was March 6th. So the worst part of having my kitchen torn up happened while we were gone.

After but not yet finished yet. Still have crown molding and countertops to add. The lighting will get changed and a white subway tile backsplash will be added. 

I also get to play games with my adult kids through our phones. We like one of Ellen's games called Psyche! 

We also set up Zoom so we can see and talk to each other while we are playing. If you'd like to see the game, click here.

I mentioned in my last post that I try to Zumba every day. There is another set of dances that I'd like to share with you in case you like a bit of variety. Some of the songs are the same.

I just know for me, if I didn't make a plan, I'd be sitting on the couch all day long playing Yahtzee on my phone and eating tons of the wrong things. At least with dancing every  morning, I can sort of justify the extra eating. . . . sort of!

 I have contacted all of my students and a few have written back to me. Man I do miss them and wish that we were back in school.  In Michigan we are off until April 16, but that may change this week. We will find out soon. 

I am reading a good book that I borrowed from a friend. Since our library closed, I have to rely on others to keep me in good shape. I love to read. Had I known this was going to happen, I would have borrowed a ton from our library. I hate to buy books when I can borrow them instead. How about you? Would you rather buy or borrow?

Right now I'm reading  Kristin Hannah's book called The Magic Hour. It is very good just as all of her books are. I can't believe I've never read this one before. 

In the meantime I am concerned about my dad who lives alone. We are visiting him every week (he lives 2 hours away and all of my sisters live in the same area.) He appears to be holding up ok. My in laws live in Florida in an Assisted Living Facility. They are very puzzled by all of this coronavirus. While watching TV is their main form of entertainment, it is also a very scary thing for them. I've sent her books to read and crossword puzzle books to do too. 

I truly hope all of you are well, and able to survive being with your spouse 24/7 without killing each other. I know it's not easy, but as all the actors are saying, "We are in this together. and We will get  through this."
