Easter Sunday Stealing

Good morning and a blessed Easter to you! I imagine we will all have time for the Sunday Stealing questions at some point today since Easter is not what it usually is this year. It's not what it usually is, but it still is. As I shared a couple of days ago...

Bev has found us some more questions about the pandemic we are experiencing. It will be interesting to learn more about how we all are handling things.

COVID 19 Questions from SwapBot

1 – What is something you are doing due to the pandemic that you normally don’t do? After the pandemic will you continue to so this?  I think what we are doing a lot more of is cooking and eating at home. We did a lot of eating out or getting take-out before all of this. I doubt we will stay at this level of cooking at home when we are allowed out again, but we will probably do more of it than we had been.

2 - What made you happy, sad, or frustrated today? List, all big and/or small, as there may be some of one or all of these feelings!  I really can't put my finger on anything that caused it, but I was in a funk most of yesterday. I finally took the dog out for a walk in the evening and the fresh air seemed to make me feel better. I suppose it's just the idea of not being able to go anywhere, not seeing anyone, and my poor hubby being here. all. the. time. It just got to me.

3- What is one of the first things you will do when the pandemic is over?  You all know I'm a thrift store junkie and everyone has been cleaning out their homes during this little adventure of ours, so I'm going to the thrift stores. There's going to be a lot of good stuff!

4 – Are you an essential employee or do you know someone who is? Is this affecting you in some way?  Well, I would have been an essential employee had I not quit my job at the nursing home the day the stay-at-home order went into effect. I do know lots of people who are essential workers, but none in my immediate family. No, it isn't really affecting me, but I am really thankful for those who  continue to work.

5 – What are you doing to destress during this stressful time?  Since Tim finished the bathroom, the new shower is doing a great job of that. It has this amazing shower head and three extra jets on the wall. I could stand under it all day.

6 – Have you tried any new recipes during this time? Please share your recipe if you want to.  It's not really a recipe, but I'm going to try doing a leg of lamb in the crock pot today. I read that the meat has a milder flavor and is much more tender if slow cooked.

7 – Have you always lived where you do now? If not, how did you wind up in the place you currently live?  I haven't always lived here, but we've been here for 26 years and we're next to my mom who still lives in my adopted dad's childhood home. Tim and I moved around a bit when we were first married and Mom and Dad moved a lot before we landed here, but I have been here more than anywhere else in my life.

8- Where is the last place you visited on-line?  Facebook

9- What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?  That I am a good/kind person.

10 – Tell me about the last photo on your camera (phone or real camera or both!)  It's a different photo from the one above of the new bathroom.

Hoping you all have a happy, healthy and blessed Easter!
