    LIFE Happenings Honestly right now all I can think about is this dang COVID that I have and I could probably make every answer to these COVID related. I don’t want that though. This month hasn’t been only about COVID, so I’ll write a post about that later. Loving Rob for taking care of me through all this. Happy that September is almost here and hopefully we might get some hints of cooler weather…probably not, but I’m always hopeful for it. Reminiscing Thinking back to September 2012 Carnival Dream Cruise when we went on a family cruise and took the…

    So this is how Week 33 (August 16-22, 2021) got started…a parking ticket while at work! Lovely! Let me back up and just say this last week was…Wow so many ways to describe this last week. The weekend going into last week, I wasn’t feeling well and with the week being super important, I had no time to have this sinus infection. I had a scratchy throat, congestion, headache (face felt swollen like when you have a sinus infection), terrible body aches. Sunday night I found a bottle of antibiotics that I never took, so I decided that I would…

    I had discontinued doing these Weekly update posts because since I was doing the Sentence-A-Day posts at the end of month, I felt like it was kind of repetitive. However, I have a hard time keeping up with the sentences and just felt that wasn’t the best way to share what goes on. I’m going to be going through an catching up with my weekly posts, because I like to be able to refer back to them. So today I’m starting with last week’s post which was for July 19-25, 2021.

    The Wednesday before the 4th of July Rob and I got off work, loaded up the car, and we along with Alex made our way up to the North Georgia Mountains for a few days. Traffic was frustrating for the 1st hour or so. They skies were gorgeous though. We stayed in a cabin in Ellijay, GA. (rental info) We loved all the outdoor seating with outdoor speakers as well as all the outside activities; bumper pool table, darts, hook and ring, etc. My favorite were the hammock chairs and now I totally want some at home, just not sure…

Turns out I was thinking of my June Currently post” *eye roll* /eating/ I have mentioned numerous time over the last several months that I’m just in a food slump. Not in the mood to cook or really eat for that matter. I just get tired of always thinking about what to eat and I’m never really in the mood to cook. So I decided to give Blue Apron a try.
