Hiya! I miss you guys! Here’s an update – feel free to edit it as needed since it’s a bit long. I tend to ramble haha.

I’ve been staying busy with work as I’m thankfully able to do everything from home. It’s a lot of phone calls and computer work. I’ve reduced my hours a bit- to 20 hours/week as I’ve been pretty tired and sore. Reducing my hours has helped a little but pain and tiredness is still a big issue for me. L I’ve been trying to stay distracted because I’m nervous about COVID-19. My dad is considered an essential worker so he’s still out and about. My mom and I have made him our designated shopper for groceries and meds so that we can stay home. I haven’t left the house in 42 days. Because of my respiratory issues I’m nervous about what will happen if I should get COVID. Luckily I already have my ventilator that I use every night (and during the day if I need to take a nap) and some other machines to help manage everything. So, we’re set up pretty well if I get sick. For fun I’ve been doing a variety of things! I bought a few coloring books and also a paint by water book! Those are epic because you just need water and the colors magically appear!! I used to LOVE these when I was little and was so excited when my mom found one recently!! I also bought a Nitendo Switch Lite so I could play Animal Crossing: New Horizons which has been awesome. I also like to write in my journal. I use different pens (sparkly and non-sparkly) and stickers to add some fun to my entries. I have one of those sprocket photo printers so I can put pics in there too! I’ve included a picture so you can see. J Which leads me to the other big change around here. We adopted a cat and a puppy! We got the Snowflake (the cat) last summer. Sadly, our dog Callie passed away in January. She was 12 years old. :’( After that we decided to get Bella, a border collie puppy. She’s definitely been keeping things interesting around here! Thankfully she and Snowflake get along well for the most part. Bella loves to try and snuggle with Snowy which is so cute. Other than that I’ve mainly been watch movies (currently in love with Frozen 2) and listening to audiobooks while working.
