Week 6 - Day 40: 32nd Day of Dallas County Shelter in Place

40 days straight of being at home.  Out of this have come some great things: 

• My house is clean and closets are more organized; 
• The Ninja Foodi has been used and it was actually fun cooking with it; 
• Completed my April Goal on Bike Riding (20 miles on one ride);
• Quality time has been spent catching up with friends via text and phone; 
• One puzzle was completed;
• I have laughed at many humorous memes, musical parodies and other shenanigans on the internet; 
• and I created a new habit for adding to my blog site.

All in all, not a bad 40 days.

With May fast approaching, I need to put some new goals in sight.  

I am hoping on a weekend still to get my cats a CATIO built.   I think they both will love being able to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.  So one weekend when I am doing nothing else when it is easier to travel to the shop for tools and materials, and Lowe's for anything I am missing, that is going to be "THE PROJECT" of the weekend.

I still need to get my garage in acceptable condition.  This is a much larger ongoing project.  There are many items in the garage from various projects that are not finished - 3 major projects of mine are sitting out there.  Plus stuff to go through from when we closed custom curbage and the last load or two ended up in the garage vs the shop because it was a shorter trip.  So there is that.  May would be a GREAT time to finish those three projects.  

I have my biking Goal for May already set.  I want to work up to a 30 mile bike ride.  I may have to start scouring the internet for a street bike vs riding my offroad heavy bike on the street.  We will see if that happens - regardless though - 30 miles, here I come!  I love riding bikes - for me, it is great exercise without feeling like a workout.  Dallas has an extensive trail system that I am still learning.  So I will be exploring more of that.

Speaking of workouts... while I have not gained the COVID-19, yet... I am making progress in that direction.  THAT progress is NOT a good thing.  So perhaps May needs to be a month of moderation with the baking and comfort foods.  I think we are probably all settling into the fact that our immediate future is not able to be easily planned.  We are all "rolling with the punches" and just seeing what happens each day and each week.  I think I would like to continue to reverse my trend and remain working on losing the COVID-19.  It is a goal anyway.

I have a ton of photos to go through and a few photo books to be made.  May is looking to be getting full so that one might have to be moved to June. June's list can wait!

May, as we all know, is the month when we celebrate our Mothers. (Don't forget! I say to myself...) It is also the month that has one of our busier outdoor holidays with Memorial Day.  Hopefully we will be able to get together with friends and family and have an appropriately distanced gathering!    

All in all, quite a few things to look forward to.  So I say, bring on the next 40 and let's see what develops by then!
