Pandemic life

 This is frightening to me on so many levels;

traveling magnets

I love refrigerator magnets. I love looking at them in funny boutiques and airport gift shops. I love getting them when we travel anywhere. It's an inexpensive and small trip memento. I like coffee mugs too, but you can't have 100 of those!

I use to put my magnets on the side of the fridge. Then my fella said, stop it! But, but, but....

Then I saw this FANTASTIC idea on Pinterest!! An oil pan!!! A BIG one! Voila! A place to put all my magnets that I can lean behind the door in my craft room. So awesome. 

There used to be a man at work who would travel every chance he got. I asked him once when he was going to Idaho for a meeting, if he would get a magnet for me. It was the start of something so great at work! Pretty soon, whenever somebody had to travel, they came back with a magnet for me! It's the best. I'm going to run out of room one day. Thanks to my niece, I have one from Hawaii. Thanks to my daughter in law, I have one from Alaska. From vacationers, I have magnets from Belize and Jamaica! So fun. :-)

Pandemic life

 5 months later and here we are. Still. Still wearing masks. Businesses still not open. Schools still not open. Millions of people still unemployed. Still no live entertainment. Still no movie theaters open. Shortages still apparent in grocery stores. Still no sporting events. Still. It's August!!!

OMG! I can take a lot but I'm sure FED UP now! I'm so tired of all the unhappiness, drama and anger. And I hate to admit it but I'm tired of all the inconvenience. I'm tired of forgetting my mask. I'm tired of wearing my mask at work when I have to walk down the hall to the bathroom! I'm tired of feeling uneasy walking around downtown. I'm tired of everybody bitching about everything!

I miss smiles. I miss having lunch with a friend and dinners out on Friday nights. I miss my dogs. I miss Friday morning breakfasts in the cafeteria at work (thanks honey, for filling in!!) I miss just casually walking around the store, any store. I miss live entertainment. I miss expectations and I miss planning.

I guess I woke up in a sad mood today. Sigh.

Looove

 I found a new channel on SiriusXM. It's channel 289, the Love channel. Oh yeah, it's awesome. Nothing but love songs all day. Yep, mm hmm, love, love, love!!

Be My Baby, Something in the way she moves, How deep is your love, When a man loves a woman, I will always love you, You make my dreams, Wild thing, Best of my love, Can't help falling in love, The first time ever I saw your face, Unchained melody, Make you feel my love, Faithfully, Endless love (or anything else by Lionel Richie!), I only have eyes for you, My girl, To love somebody, I want to know what love is, I think I love you, Love will keep us together, Don't it make my brown eyes blue, Best of my love, Love me tender, I honestly love you, I got you babe, Unforgettable, Crash into me, How sweet it is, Just the way you are...

YES! Every time I listen to this channel it makes me smile. 

Life continues...

We have bird brain babies!!! Peep peep peep peep! Google tells me that they'll only be in the nest for 12 to 18 days and that there are 5 to 8 babies in there! I'm DYING to look in there! I just can't imagine how they fit in there! They're about a week old now so I don't think it would be too disturbing if I tried to see in there. I might wait a couple more days. I'm still just so impressed at how strong and determined those little suckers are. They crammed a lot of sticks in there and they're tiny little things! Secretly, we must be bird geeks. :-)

I looked. I had to!! I carefully held my phone over the hole on the top and....click.
