It’s been a week since we’ve been in the level 4 lockdown meaning we now have the ability to exercise between the hours of 6-9 am. It’s kind of crazy to think that it took a quarantine to make me a morning person, but it has. Knowing that I only have this small window toContinue reading “Level 4 Freedom”

Saying Goodbye Apr. 28 – I started doing these lockdown diaries to keep myself occupied and remind myself of all the good things I have and how lucky I am, so it was hard for me to decide whether or not to write this post. Today was my great uncle’s funeral. He’d been in aContinue reading “Lockdown Day 33”

Team Darby’s Burdern Apr. 27 – We’ve been really lucky with our lockdown and finding little bits of normalcy to get us through our days and weeks. This week had a great start with a pub night without a pub! Our house of 6 joined an online pub quiz night to raise funds for theContinue reading “Lockdown Day 32”

So Close, Yet So Far Apr. 16 – Today would have been the last day of our original lockdown if it hadn’t been extended. We’ve been here for 21 days now and haven’t killed each other and are still getting along which is pretty nice. I’ve also realized we haven’t actually taken a group photoContinue reading “Lockdown Day 21”

Overwhelmed Apr. 15 – I finally did it, I logged into Netflix for the first time and streamed Big Bang Theory until Netflix asked me if I was still there. It was a struggle to shrug of this general feeling of… maybe overwhelm. I think at day 20 the shock and awe of everything hasContinue reading “Lochdown Day 20”

Plans Never Survive Contact With The Enemy Apr. 10 – Kind of the story of our lives. Chanelle attempted an awesome menu for dinner, of fajitas and a cake. As she made dinner I helped out with the tres leche cake. Let’s just say, baking is not my forte. After all the effort, and myContinue reading “Lockdown Day 15”

A Day of Creativity While prepping for a 21 day lockdown (which many of us think will be extended), I grabbed a pad of lined paper, pencil crayons and scissors. I didn’t know what I would do with these items, but knew that I would be using them as a creative outlet, and the dayContinue reading “Lockdown Day 3”

I am blessed to have amazing family and friends, probably better than I deserve! Actually, pretty sure better than I deserve! I’m so lucky to be loved and thought about. This year, I got quite a few unexpected gifts and though I’d love to take everything with me, I can’t. These are 4 items thatContinue reading “Packing Saga 6: Unexpected Gifts”

The idea behind Remote Year is amazing, but this is still a work trip, so I need to make sure I’m well connected and have backups. All my files are backed up on a cloud, so hardware wise, if anything should happen, I’ll still be okay. Laptop and phone seem to be givens, here areContinue reading “Packaging Saga 5: Tech Tales”
