    Songs, lyrics, melodies - music is a magical thing in life. Certain songs can bring you back to memory, a moment in time instantly. We all have certain lyrics that speak to us more than any conversation we have ever had any book we have ever read. Whether good or bad the right song can change your mood in an instant.

    Quarantine Day 9-11: Looking Forward to Earth Hour

    March 28, 2020 /

    Quarantine is starting to get to me. I'm doing my best to try to keep moving and stay productive, but if I'm being honest with myself I haven't done the best job the last few days. I'm still not sleeping in really late, I'm usually up at least 10-15 min before 8 am, but I had been telling myself I would be up closer to 6 am. When I am up, I'm not being as productive as I should be and in all honesty I'm not even sure where the time is going. I haven't binge watched a ton of TV or spent hours upon hours on YouTube and TikTok.…

    Quarantine Day 5-8: I Befriended the Cat

    March 25, 2020 /

    It is the early morning of my 8th day in quarantine, which means I have officially completed my first week! Yay! In my first week I think I have done an okay job of keeping busy, continuing to function like a regular human, and not becoming a complete slob. I only slept in until 8 am once this week, every other day I was up by at least 7:30. I get dressed everyday, usually it is only workout clothes, but at least I'm not living in my pajamas. I've limited myself to only one 20 minute nap a day, and I try to make sure that isn't a daily thing.…

    I made the fatal quarantine newbie mistake and cleaned my house way too quick. Okay, maybe I shouldn't say "fatal" given the current state of things, but as I said in my Day 1 & 2 entry, I apologize for any inappropriate humor I may use. Anyways, as I was saying, I screwed up and cleaned my house way too quick and now I'm struggling to find ways to kill time.

    This was supposed to be my year, but as of this month shit has officially hit the fan, and for once it's not just a me problem. The world is in a really scary place right now. It was worrisome when it was happening in China. Things got even more scary as it started to spread across Europe. And now that the Coronavirus is here in the US, I'm not even sure my brain knows how to process all this.

With the expectations of social media, she doesn't get featured as much as she should, but long conversations and stinky cuddles will always be the favorite parts of my day 🐾

Then during COVID I finally had my chance to visit and I've gone twice over the last 2 years. From the minute I stepped foot in that magical desert I was in love. It was everything I dreamt of and more. During our first visit my husband and I explored all the different campgrounds and I knew I had to come sleep under the stars here. It took two years, but our trip is finally set and I can't wait!
