Ever since I started working from home (in late October) my office has been located in one of the lofts of the house. Needless to say, it’s not the most quiet spot and sometimes my kids pop in on my Zoom calls. We had been going back and forth on whether or not to turn … Continue reading Shed to Office Transformation

Winter Hiking in Connecticut
This past weekend was a first for me: hiking by headlamp in a snow squall! We hiked from Rt. 41 in Connecticut, north, to Bear Mountain (the highest point in the state – 2,323 feet in elevation).

Looking Back on 2020
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a safe and fun celebration. I was in bed by 11PM; to be honest I think the last time I stayed up to ring in the new year was in 2015. Woo-wee, what a doozy of a year. I think this year had more peaks and valleys … Continue reading Looking Back on 2020
Christmas 2020

Our plan was to visit Chicago, Louisville and Nashville and whatever we encountered … Continue reading Exploring the U.S.

Working From Home (And My Newest Venture)
I do have to preface this post to say how grateful I am to still have a job throughout this ordeal. I work in the hospitality industry, which has been the hardest hit, but the company I work for, although the physical building is closed, their call center is still open and that’s my department. … Continue reading Working From Home (And My Newest Venture)
