What I'm reminiscing about.......
Seeing people :) The last interaction we had with people intentionally was with my greats and a meal with my parents, a week and a half ago.
What I'm loving......
Simple time at home spent with family....some nights are spent doing our own thing, but there has been a game night, movie night, karaoke, walks and working puzzles too.
What we've been up to.....
We moved our oldest out of college this past weekend since all of her classes will now be online. It was bittersweet.
It was so sad to see how the hotel industry has been affected too. Anything that multiple hands could touch was off limits, like the normal complimentary coffee and hot water station. The pool and gym were closed.
Breakfast was a few snacks they gave you behind the counter. There was no housekeeping during the stay. I found myself praying for hotel employees as I passed by hotels on the interstate on the drive home.
Thankfully, we got all her stuff in the vehicle!
What I'm dreading....
Right now, this slow economy which is affecting the travel industry. I am a travel agent and still have a job for now. Asking for prayers that my job stays in tact, even though hours have already been cut. One day this summer or fall, I'm sure it will be so busy again reissuing all these tickets we have had to cancel!
What I'm working on..........
I took down my St. Patrick's Day decor last week. Since I hadn't posted it, here are some photos:
What I'm excited about........
A few weeks ago I got an air fryer and I really like it. I have used it several times a week. So far, my favorites I have made using it are chicken, roasted carrots, and french fries.
What I'm watching/reading.......
I am still basically watching my same shows.....Survivor, When Calls the Heart, When Hope Calls, Pioneer Woman and Live with Kelly and Ryan. I am also enjoying the new Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show segments he is doing from home on You Tube.
What I'm listening to......
I am listening to these podcasts: The Office Ladies, Whoa That's Good, Proverbs 31, The Big Boo
What I'm wearing......
Pajamas or leggings
What I'm doing this weekend........
More of the same, which is staying at home! I hope to maybe be a little more productive on the weekend. I am not getting too much done so far during the week, but that's okay. Normally the weekend is when I am more productive anyway.
What I'm looking forward to next month.......
Hopefully seeing people, but not so sure about that. It could be May. However, I am hopeful to at least see some family and a friend next month. But if not, we will continue to do our part and stay inside, except for the grocery store.
What else is new.....
Well, this was certainly a first for me....I decorated for spring last weekend while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie! In case you didn't see/hear, Hallmark played Christmas movies last weekend to bring cheer. Sunday night, we enjoyed a fire on the cool evening. I will post my spring pictures on another post soon.
For some laughter, social distance activities we have been up to and encouragement during these days, you can read yesterday's post here.
In the words of Donny & Marie's closing song from their TV show in the 70's.....
I'm late in catching up with my WUW reading.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about what the beginning of this would have been like for hotels. Hotels in this area have now pretty much turned into homeless shelters to help stop the spread.
And I hope and pray your travel agent job improves so much after this. There are so many professions who have been hit so hard by this -- the ripple effects just continue on and on...
