New Changes and a Stay at Home Birthday Party! CoronApril

(picture was taken from facebook)

New reports, new updates and new new new all in CoronApril! Where do I begin. . .

1. Still not 100% proud of it but I switched phones. 

I still love Android but I now am an Apple person. So far the features are easy to find but in different positions so not bitter there. I can say though that the pictures are pretty high quality. I would do a comparison and contrast of the two phones but I believe it would not be fair as I had an older phone and I am comparing it to a newer phone.

iPhone SE second generation- affordable and waterproof
2.  Yes, I am still working 

 Since my daughter currently is not in daycare the trips to work have been pretty fast. I forgot what they felt like. She is currently going over her phonics, tracing, and numbers. Her learning has almost linked with her brother with language as we go over Spanish and Chinese together. Speaking of the girl. . . 

3.  She is now Three!!! 

If the pandemic did not hit, she would have a cupcake and a dress to wear to daycare and given cupcakes to all her friends. That weekend she would have had her birthday party with her dress and sash and played games with the attendants while munching on pizza. Instead, she had a unicorn party at home. . .




Unicorn cake

She opened presents and saw her friends on zoom and had a room full of balloons. She also had a huge inflatable unicorn balloon. Some advice- never get one in the windy city! Let's just say I had to buy two.







This was unicorn #1.
We went to the forest preserve and went for a walk and got some sun and air. When we came home, we ordered pasta as the girl is really into starches right now. They watched movies and played and she refused to sleep because she didn't want her birthday to end. That let me know that this was a job well done!

If you are a mom and wanted to know how I performed this task- I planned. . . and then it all went to hell!
When she said she loves unicorns I went to work that day frantically on amazon looking up party dresses. I wanted to create her theme around her dress. . .


Then, as any thrifty mom would do I tried to get into the dollar tree to pick up some items. I gave that assignment to hubby and that is where things went a little awry. I told him unicorn or just grab some pink crap- I don't care! He grabbed what was available. So the morning of, I had to get MORE balloons and decor. I stepped into the Dollar Tree when it first opened and grabbed more unicorn theme items. I went to the grocery store and grabbed the inflatable unicorn and balloon decor with a candle. It took longer because after I lost unicorn balloon #1 I went back into the store to get balloon #2. I went home, showered, and dressed in Prince attire because the baby was born directly a year after he died and turned on the computer. I gave the daycare the zoom information three weeks prior and most of her class and some other friends were there. I also told people to facetime and google duo to wish the girl a happy birthday!

More to come! I have to now begin planning an eleven year wedding anniversary. Wish me luck!

Enjoy Life- even when inside

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
