And yet another week of #Corona social distancing is over. And with that our last week of the vacation. It’s back to work again on Monday. But till then, I’m going to enjoy the weekend with my husband and our sweet little girl.
I only left our home this week on two occasions, and those where only to get groceries. And I’m so happy that we have a garden now, and that the weather was beautiful. So even though we had to stay at home, we were able to go outside. And especially our little girl loved it. Playing with the sand, helping daddy in the garden. It was just so cute to watch. Even for a little while I could forget about everything that has been going on.
I spend a lot of time reading in the garden this week when our little girl was taking her nap, and at night while my husband watched a ‘guy’ movie ( everything with a lot of blood and brutal stuff I mean) or played on the PlayStation. We also had one movie night together. We watched ‘Angel Has Fallen’, which was the perfect compromise of his kind of movie and mine. Action for him, and a handsome guy for me. LOL!.
And now our vacation has almost come to an end. Since I’m a nurse, and my husband’s job doesn’t have an option for staying home just yet, it was a little tricky if I was able to have someone to take care of our little girl. Luckily, out sitter for Monday is able to look after her, and the daycare where she goes on Wednesday’s as well.. as long as she doesn’t have a cold or something else. Keep your fingers crossed! Our girl is 18 months old and has had a cold almost constantly. So far so good though. But it still feels a little strange.. I wish I could keep her close to me all the time! Especially in this time.
I hope all of you are safe and staying home as much as possible.

Take care as you head back to work. Hopefully this will all be a horrible memory sooner rather than later. All non-essential workers have been ordered home for the next 2 weeks (still trying to figure out who counts as non-essential but erring on the side of caution) where I am plus we’re on curfew.
Thanks Joanne. It’s definitely a very strange world at the moment. Here is has also been a little bit of a mystery which jobs count as non-essential. My husband is an electrician, but so far, since they work in empty houses.. they are allowed to keep on going. I don’t really get that.. but I try not to think about it to much.
Stay safe and happy reading.
A garden is very helpful at times like this, when you can only leave home for groceries or work.
Keep safe!
It sure is. I’m so thankful for our garden. Especially since I’ve never had one before.
Stay safe and happy reading.
It is hard to be away from a little one especially at a time like this! It sounds like you had a nice vacation and your time in the garden and family sounds wonderful!
Stay safe and be well this week. 🙂
It sure is difficult. But she will be okay. And I hope one day, she will be proud of her mom. 😀
Stay safe Greg and happy reading.
I am glad you were able to utilize your vacation to the fullest. I can imagine getting back to your station after a holiday especially in this situation. Here is my salute to all medical professionals and you Maureen especially!.
I am sure your kid would do good !
Thanks Gayathri. It definitely gives me mixed feelings getting back. But I’m sure I won’t think about it as much when I’m back at work.
Stay safe and happy reading.
I am glad you have had such a lovely peaceful break – and I’m hoping you are able to carry a bit of the peace with you when you plunge back into the craziness of your job… Take care. And thank you – your dedication is particularly appreciated at such a desperate time.
Thank you. I sure hope I’ll be able to do that too.
Stay safe and happy reading.
Be safe at work Maureen!
Wishing you a great reading week and good health
Thank you Shelleyrae 😉
The garden is definitely a welcome thing to have at the moment! We’re just finishing week one of a three-week lockdown order by the government… I’m lucky I can WFH though.
I wish you lots of luck on your return to work! Stay safe. Being a nurse is hard at the best of times but right now? You all deserve medals.
Thanks Nicci. The garden has definitely been a blessing.
Maureen, we have been blessed with sunshine here, too, which means at least people could enjoy their gardens during lockdown. I hope you and your husband’s return to work goes well. Stay safe! 🙂
Thanks Jessica. So far so good. 😉
Yay for your garden! I’m enjoying being out in the weather right now. Please stay safe!
Thanks Jennifer. You too!
We got most of our garden planted but are mostly out of space. There are more things I want to plant so I’ll have to figure out priorities better. I think we have been more like you with spring break and this week my daughter has school again so good luck with the back to work.
I liked Butterface and I want to get Broken.
Stay safe, healthy and happy reading!
Anne – Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
Since this is my first garden ever.. I really know a lot about gardening. We have some parts left for us to plant some stuff. So I’m excited to look into that soon. 🙂
Are schools starting back again where you are?
Stay safe!
Take care of yourself as you go back to work, Maureen. I will keep you in my thoughts.
We have gotten lucky for the moment with daycare as my husband is able to work at home for the time being. I am hoping his employer will extend it beyond the deadline they have now, otherwise we will be struggling to find someone to care for our daughter. It’s all so stressful right now.
Take care and be safe and well.
Thank you Wendy.
That’s definitely nice that your husband is able to work from home. It’s definitely a struggle to have to think of daycare everyday. It’s already giving me a headache. But so far so good.
Stay safe and happy reading.
Sounds like it was a relaxing week, Maureen. Reading and movies and gardening and lots of family time. I’m glad the babysitter situation worked out. Please stay safe at work.
I really loved Come Back for Me. I’ll be excited to see your review.
It really was a relaxing week. I miss it already!
Come Back For Me was so good. I can’t wait for the next book.
Stay safe!
