Well Hello Again. This has been a crazy few months for me!
March:
At the beginning of March Jenn and I went to Madison Indiana for a day trip. We planned to got to the Lanither Mansion and get pizza, but that plan was kicked in the butt by covid hours of the mansion. We still took a walk around the grounds and went to their winery (oh shucks we had to go have wine). We also took a side trip over to Clifty Falls and walked their trail that goes to one of their most well know waterfalls. We also walked up and down main street looking at the boutiques and just having a great day. (This checked off 1 new place/park to hike, Only 5 more to go)
Also in March Angel and I took a new trail (new to us) in Plainfield. It was kinda chilly that day so it was only about a mile and half, but it counts. That makes 2 of my 6 for the year!
March also held a new recipe. The hubs and I tried a Scillian meat roll. Which is really like a mozzarella and prosciutto meatloaf. I would have loved to show the picture, but although it tasted good, it did not photograph well.
I also met my book of the month goal… I read The Girl He Used to Know – it was about a girl who runs into a boy she dated in college, and after being called weird most of her life she finds out she was on the autism spectrum and he helps her navigate her new found diagnosis. It was a good and quick read.
Last big point for March was 3 closings! I was so happy to find 3 families their very own homes! Believe it or not, doing that made getting all of those other things in even harder!
April:
April was horrible… I got sick on April 4th, was tested for covid on April 6th, and got my positive results on April 8th. From there it was 3+ weeks of sleeping, fevering, not smelling, or tasting, and generally feeling like death.
Although there was no hiking, cooking, exploring new places, or even leaving my bedroom, I did manage to get my book read (albeit it took through the first month of May to get completed, but I stayed on task).
OOH!! and I almost forgot, I had a closing at the end of April too! It was a joy to get another happy family their new home on the heels of being sicker than a dog!
As it is the last week of May and I have plans for later this week and the weekend, I will be ready to give you a happy update on May as soon as the month is over!
I have enjoyed this holding myself accountable to these small 2021 goal. I know they are not anything special, but while trying #becomingabetterme its good to know I can still keep going even when life is not 9-5 anymore!
