We made it! I somehow survived Jan/Feb. although it feels a bit off-balance to realize that it has been a full year of March 2020 when so much of life seemed to stop. It has been a year to the day that haven't seen my family under "normal" circumstances. When you pull back a bit and think about a year, I dunno... it is a long time.
But yay for spring coming along in 3 weeks! *dances* Two weeks until Daylight Saving Time. (wish it would just stay on DST instead of this switching back and forth). It is chilly and rainy here-- but did notice what I wrote? Rainy. I will take rain over snow any day. Gary isn't as happy since he already had to pump the water out of the basement but at least he isn't out shoveling. Right?
I did end up spending most of the day in the kitchen. I cooked up the rice, made homemade burritos, Oreo Pudding, and corn casserole which tripped me up a bit because I didn't have any canned creamed corn so I had to make my own. Pro tip: If you ever need to sub homemade creamed corn in corn casserole, use extra milk and puree the corn a tiny bit. It was not as moist and had more corn kernels than usual. That is how I will make it if I need to next time.
Today is going to be my fight with online food shopping. I am dreading it already. I worked a bit on it yesterday and only cursed a few times. I have to catch up on a few things here for end/beginning of the month tasks. And I will keep crocheting the cat blanket I am making to donate.
One thing I am going to do is get some more coffee. I am really beat today.
Does anyone want a cup? *pours coffee and passes mugs through the monitor to everyone*
Hugs!
