Dear reader, this was a rough weekend.
First, the good things.
My parents got their 1st dose of vaccine and they are scheduled for the 2nd dose in mid-April. This is such a huge relief. I've been obsessing about this for weeks, hounding multiple websites, putting them on waiting lists, trying to get a spot with Rite Aid/CVS/Wegman/Giant. I had a breakthrough (felt like a lottery win!) on Wednesday night - I was able to schedule my dad at Rite Aid. I was so happy. And then, two days later, my parents got a notification through their hospital system that they could schedule vaccine appointments - and they did.
It feels strange that I no longer have to spend hours vaccine-hunting. It almost feels... empty.
Also good: we had a family movie night and watched Back to the Future. Total hit - everyone enjoyed it.
Other things on the good list: a brief hike, a bit of yard work to prepare our garden for planting, baking bread, reading (a bit).
Not so good:
Our kitchen sink started leaking - we noticed Sunday morning. That meant, plans to relax and take things easy went out the window. Husband spend all day long trying to fix it (only one trip to Lowes, though). He did fix it, more or less, but we are keeping an eye on it for now...
Also, I defrosted ground turkey instead of chicken thighs... not the end of the world, but annoying because I was really looking forward to roasted chicken and vegetables for dinner...
But the worst is that I've been feeling so irate and annoyed with everything. I've been getting angry over trivial things. The worst is that I am not sure what I need to get back to my regular self: alone time? exercise? sleep?
Also - we moved our clocks an hour ahead and lost a whole hour this weekend. Not fun.
And today is Monday, and its back to a work project that I am really not looking forward to...
I feel like I have to end on a positive note.
First flowers are up and blooming!
