250 Days

Please note: This post was written in November, 2020.  A lot of what is written is applicable today. 


Today is 250 days my family has staying inside since the start of the pandemic. I'm starting to reach "Pandemic Fatigue." I'm just tired. I'm tired of being home. I'm tired of wanting to go sit in a coffee shop and people watch. I love being home with my family. I consider that one of the best gifts that this year has given me, but on the other hand, I cannot see my family on the other side of the border until the border can reopen. I have read many books this year. I joined the Jen Hatmaker Book Club and its one of the best things I've done in a long time. 

My children are being taught by me and I feel like they are missing so much. I'm no teacher. I try my best to teach them but its hard. Right now, I have one child upstairs resting in bed because he is sick. 


I caught COVID-19 in July. I took two tests and both came back negative. I had four doctors confirm that it was COVID. I am not contagious anymore but COVID caused so much damage in my body. I'm considered a "long-hauler" which means I have had it longer then the two weeks. I am on week 20. My brain doesn't function properly anymore.  I have had a headache, sore throat and lungs ache for months. I am experiencing neurological damage which causes me to lose feeling in my limbs. I cannot smell or taste. I am totally exhausted. I am swollen and have gained weight for no reason. I am just tired. 

I'm tired of seeing the counts of people dying every day. I'm mad that people do not take in consideration others and do not follow social distancing guidelines, do not wear a mask, and act like a pandemic is going on. This is such a sad and unusual time. We are living history. 

I know I want to be on the right side of history and be proud to tell my grandkids and my great-grandkids that I survived 2020 (and most likely 2021) and did what I could to help people. 

What are you doing to survive 2020? Any good books? Movies? Recipes? Funny story? Inspirational story? 

I'd love to hear from you. Be safe and take care of yourselves!

Blessings to you and yours!

How did I get those eyelashes? You asked, I answered!

 So since I posted this picture yesterday on Facebook and Instagram, I received many questions about my lashes. They are called.... easbeauty 2020 Upgraded Magnetic Eyeliner and Eyelashes Kit, Magnetic Eyelashes with Eyeliner, False Lashes 5 Pairs with Tweezers, Easy to Wear  Today, they are a lightening deal on Amazon for $16.91! My lashes are basically non-existent. They are very, very blond and fine. All you do is apply the magnetic eyeliner close to your lashline, let it dry and then the lashes snap right on. Easy peasy! I first heard about these from the book club I am in, Jen Hatmaker Book Club. I have been as my son describes "Covid Mommy" since March 2020. Lately, I've needed something to just feel good. These lashes do it for me. Its a small thing that gives me happiness these days.  If you end up getting a pair, share of picture of yourself in these beauties!  Lots of love,  Jen

My upcoming project!

 Hi Friends! How are you all doing? Over here, we are doing pretty good. It's been a year of social distancing and living through a pandemic.  When I was sick with Covid back in July 2020, I read a book by Jen Hatmaker called "7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess". This book changed my life. I enjoyed it so much I have reread it since then. I was so happy to find out it was going to be updated and rereleased today, March 23, 2021. The book is now called " Simple and Free: 7 Experiments Against Excess ". The idea of the social experiment is " to reduce  seven areas of excess—food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, and stress, a nd made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence".  Each month, I will be reducing one area of my life. It is an intentional fast. I plan on starting with food. In the first month, I will be eating only seven foods. Yes, only 7 foods the whole 30

Are you in a book club? I am in the Jen Hatmaker Book Club and its amazing! It's the most fun and you get a surprise book, a gift and a "love note" from Jen. Plus there is a ton of resources on the private Facebook community, a playlist from the author, and a special podcast featuring the author as well.  As you can tell, I love book club.
