Currently May 2021

Currently May 2021

Currently May 2021- May was something.  May gave me mixed feelings. We are getting some of our life back.  Sometimes things feel normal and then we remember we’re still transitioning into a new/different life. Every time we leave the house, we never know what we are stepping into.  

I spent a lot of May on the bleachers watching Cooper play baseball. Casey coached this season- we were on the Red Sox! Our season just ended and we’ve got All-Stars coming up soon. 

Here’s May in my Currently Workbook.

I printed cards from my artwork! I’m going to be putting them in my Etsy Shop soon!

Besides all the baseball games, a fun visit with my mother-in-law, we celebrated Mother’s day! I finally shared what I worked on to honor my Mom on Mother’s Day by making a book of the Things Mom Used to Say.

Watching my garden take shape!!

Going out to eat!  

Watching:

  • Mythbusters- Cooper has been watching this in the mornings and I like sitting on the couch watching it with him.
  • Hacks- I binged on the show in two days. SO GOOD.

Dream Life:

I think my dream life is taking place in Oregon? I dunno. I think I’m back in college in my dreams. I think I maybe had a dream about my Mom but I’m not sure. I’ve been waking up earlier and earlier even when I got to bed late. 

Eating/Drinking:

Muffins that overflowed.
