The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

1. Himself's Brother called to tell him that the Massachusetts State Department of Treasury Unclaimed Property Division had money listed for Himself. $18. Himself checked my name and came up with my mother's name. There's an outstanding $10 to her.

2. Enjoyed a Mary on the Prairie Day baking bread, making elderberry syrup, and pizza dough.

3. Work began on preparing the site for the new mailbox. Still waiting for the granite post, but the masonry supply is closed.

4. While my Spring classes at the museum have been cancelled due to the Coronavirus, at least my lesson plans are done for the Summer classes.

5. Enjoyed a virtual lunch with the  Moms Breakfast Club members.

How was your week?

  1. Sounds like a good week. Getting cash back is always better than bills. I got a refund of nearly 40€ from the electricity company, so I've put it by side to go out for a meal with Nathalie when 'Corrina' is over. Valerie

    1. That will be nice and something to look forward to. And the rest of us can virtually be with you when you post your outing on a T Day. Win. Win. 😺

  2. Surreal, it's all being very surreal. And Son1 keeps yelling at me if/when we go out to the store! LOL

    1. Because of health issue with Himself and the Young One, I've been doing shopping online, and we only go out if absolutely necessary.

    A virtual lunch sounds like fun :)

    1. It will be nice not to have to run to the post office once or twice a week 😊 Whenever that will be

  4. Your week is so much better than mine. Looks like at some point, you will finally get your mailbox permanently fixed. Sometime, anyway.

    I was so happy to read about your daughter. It's great she can work from home and helps you feel better she's in isolation, too.

    I am NOT a hoarder. I just have a well stocked pantry. I am not going out until this scare is over. Completely over. I was so happy I bought all that TP before Thanksgiving, when I wanted to use it for decoration on my two plungers (one for each bath). Now I'm thinking like Valerie and counting squares (grin). Actually, I'm going through more litter than I anticipated. That may be what I run out of, not food (staples).

    1. She is home, but gave her notice to the call center. She is waiting to start her new job as a lab technician. While I'm happy she has a job that pays well and one she loves to do, my anxiety level went up as she will be working in a hospital laboratory.

    2. THAT I never considered. Hope they give her PPEs.

    1. I saw pictures of the snow! Couldn't hear what you were saying in the background. I would have said 🤬or words to that effect. Congrats on the new book launch!'

  10. Good week for you. It appears you don't have close neighbors.

    1. I live in a rural, small town. Houses are a good distance apart so that wells and septic systems don't interfere with one another.

  11. Still working but that is okay - my company takes every precaution to protect us and others and we were also given masks to wear outside of work as well. Take care!!

    1. A new platform where the mailbox will go. The masonry supply where we ordered a granite post is closed. No idea when they will reopen
