Fun Weekends
This was when it was a 3 day weekend and everything that I did during that weekend because it was one of the best weekends I have had a year and I wanted to tell you all what is a fun weekend to me and how to spend a 3 day weekend with your friends and family. I hope that you like the Coronavirus journal. This weekend was so fun because it was a 3 day weekend and on top of that I got to hang out with my friends and we did a lot of fun stuff like going to Surge the trampoline park and we also went to Walmart and that was really fun to just mess around and make jokes and play with stuff there. We did not break anything but we did get a basketball and play with one of the goals that were not blocked off. And we got the bikes and we rode them around to see which was the best. And at Surge, we had so much fun like for instance we played dodgeball with people and we got to meet a lot of nice and cool people that were on my team and I was given a nickname of the ninja because I could doge every ball and catch them and I was last almost every game it was really fun trying to dodge the adults because they would throw it very hard and you had to have a good reaction time to dodge them. But after Surge, we then went to my friends’ house and went on his trampoline and then we went to Audubon Park and messed around there and we also went to the baseball fields at the fly and avenger and we played a football game, baseball game, and a kickball game and we where there for a couple of hours and it was so hot but just so fun and I can not wait until we do it again someday. -

Slow gain, slow lose
Ahhh Covid. From March until December I steadily gained more weight than I ever have (without being 9 months pregnant)! Each month progression was a steady +5, +5, +5, +5, +5, +5, +5 … Until December 13th. The day before my daughter’s wedding. I tried to squeeze myself into ANYTHING that might pass for wedding attire. Work clothes did not fit anymore, not even a cute pair of jeans. Would my husbands slacks work? The answer is nope! Apparently ten months of wearing pajamas and stress eating was really affecting my ability to gauge my own girth. This was traumatic for me. I pride myself in being prepared for any occasion. In my closet I have funeral outfits, wedding outfits, professional outfits. All carefully curated over the years to see me through anything. I thought I was prepared for my daughter’s wedding. I imagined a stroll from the living room to my closet where I would just choose whatever wedding attire I was in the mood for that morning and come out shining! But nope! Not this day. Instead, my husband had to make an emergency trip to the Target drive-up after I panic ordered every size of the same pair of pants and blouse, crying the whole time. All of this, is leading to my favorite thing. A $30 Walmart trampoline. I ordered it on a whim with the groceries I had ordered on delivery. I didn’t even think they would have it. It seems all exercise equipment has been sold out during the pandemic, along with board games and toilet paper. I bounce in the morning, I bounce during passing period, I bounce after work. I watch movies and bounce. I listen to podcasts and bounce! I have (so far) bounced off a total of 10 pounds since December 13th. I still need to bounce off another 30 and maybe my pants will fit again. My husband and kids are annoyed by the constant bouncing. But it was cheaper than most other exercise equipment and I hardly notice I am working out when I am into the latest Netflix binge. -

Christmas day in 2020
My Christmas was very different this year because of this pandemic. Usually my family will do many other things on Christmas day like going to Chicago, ice skating, and also seeing some other family that weren't able to make it this year. Instead we had to change it up this year to make everything safe for our family. We mostly stayed inside of the house but when we did leave we went to the beach and went to go see cool Christmas lights. When we were in the house we were cooking, watching movies, and jumping on the trampoline. This year was pretty different for my family but we found different ways to have fun even if we weren't going any where. -

Christmas in July
It's July and many of my Christmas crafts are already completed! In a good year, I'm pleased if I'm finished in November. Being at home FULL TIME since mid-March, I've needed to keep busy - after monitoring the children's distance learning of course. I have definitely been mastering the many uses of the Cricut. Always accused of being a hoarder . . . all those after-Christmas craft supplies I stocked up on have come in handy. Thank goodness for Joann's & Michael's for delivery service too! Just don't know what I will do with all that I've made!
