I miss....

 ...so many things!

I miss live entertainment. I miss the anticipation of a live performance. I miss big events. My hometown is hosting March Madness this year. Not just the big 10 or the championship, the whole tournament. I'm not a sports fan but I sure miss the excitement of a big event. Indianapolis would be going crazy right now if these were normal times. It would've been fun to see the excitement of it all. I could've seen Michael BublĂ©. I was going to see Jesus Christ Superstar, and probably so many other things. 

I miss hugs. 

I miss lunches at work with coworkers and friends. 

I miss walking around downtown. 

I miss shopping at TJ Maxx. Ours has been closed since the riots. 

I miss seeing all the cars parked at the movie theater. 

I miss shopping for clothes - all the fitting rooms are closed. 

I miss smiles. You never get to see anyone smiling. It stinks. 

Even though my sweet, sweet husband packs my lunch everyday and makes me breakfast on Thursday and Friday, I miss going to the cafeteria at work if I just want a change of pace. 

I miss planning vacations. 

I miss planning anything!

I miss salt shakers on restaurant tables. Now I carry my own - in my purse!

There are a couple TV shows I miss too. 

I miss seeing people at work, since the majority of them have been working remotely for the last year.

It's been a year since the world pretty much came to a stop. sigh

Ch ch changes...

 Change is hard, for a lot of people.

I don't mind it when things change. But if I'm the one who has to change, suck it! For example, at work we are getting new office furniture. I have to get used to a new chair. But I didn't have to change anything. I don't mind the change in seasons. I don't change them, it just happens :-)  When my fella remodeled the kitchen, I would leave in the morning and when I came home after work, magically, something would've changed! 

A couple years ago I bought a new car. It was hard. I had to change the way I did everything in the car.

When you move into a new home, that change is hard. You have to decide where everything goes...you're making that change.

When we ditched cable and went straight to streaming, it was hard. I bet it took me a year to actually make the jump!

Over the weekend we switched cell phone carriers. We've been talking about doing it for awhile now. But it was a change I had to make, so I dragged my feet. Not only did we change carriers, but we changed phones too! OMG!!! I like to think I'm not dumb but when it comes to new technology, I really struggle sometimes. I can figure out most things but damn. By the end of the day I was so exhausted! I'm not kidding. And Google and I are best friends right now, while I'm trying to figure out how to do things on my new phone. Also, we bought a couple new area rugs for the house. They're a little smaller, which I like because you can see more of our beautiful wood floors now. But one them is dark. Dark brown, red and blue. I looked at it online for a month before I bought it because it's so different from what we've had in the past. I LOVE it now that it's in the room. 

I know I just had a weekend off, but now I feel like I need a day off!!
