Know what feels good? Going out for a long, hard ride on the bike and coming home completely wrecked. It makes you forget about the world we’re in these days, even with the constant reminders of people wearing face masks and towns looking deserted. If you push yourself hard enough, you feel completely present inContinue reading “That Achey Leg Feeling”

Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy
Ben and I said goodbye to our sweet, loyal and old pup Moonli at 4:30pm yesterday. He lived 14.5 full years and we’re so thankful for the time we got to share with him. Things were getting pretty bad at the end – his cleft pallet membrane had a puncture and he was obsessively eatingContinue reading “Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy”
Back in Business
Yesterday I was pretty anxious about creating the last set of masks I had on order for some neighbors that I woke up at 3:30 in the morning, unable to fall back asleep. I laid in bed for 90 minutes before finally getting up. When I finally sat down to sew the last couple ofContinue reading “Back in Business”
Covid Catchup
I’ve been up to my eyeballs in sewing masks. I thought they’d be quick but even the basic elastic ones take me 15 more minutes than I thought. And the ones with cloth ties? Those take basically an hour a piece! I’ve spent more time sitting in front of the sewing machine that things areContinue reading “Covid Catchup”

Mask Maker
Finally! My random sewing skills can be put to use. I’ve been on a mask making spree. Some are with elastic, some are made with binding and some have wire nose pieces to keep the mask from fogging up your face. The White House is expected to urge Americans to wear face covering in public. Continue reading “Mask Maker”
Colorado Case Summary
I ate too much cake and sweet things yesterday and am paying for it today.

Phew! 3,342 Cases, 620 hospitalized, 50 counties, 18,645 people tested, 80 deaths, 17 outbreaksContinue reading “Colorado Case Summary”
Quick Update
Had a super amazing birthday today. Did a sprint workout with some athletes this early morning, baked a cake, went on a long hike, ate dinner from our favorite restaurant in Boulder and am about to hit the couch. That’s my kind of birthday! Back to the count…. 2,966 cases, 509 hospitalized, 50 counties, 16,849Continue reading “Quick Update”
Quarantine Birthdays
Kindness comes in many forms. I ordered some flour from our local bakery (Moxie Bread Co in Louisville, CO) and mentioned I was making a cake for my birthday (3/31). When I picked up the order today, they gifted me a chopping board and a free pastry. How thoughtful! On my ride home, I sawContinue reading “Quarantine Birthdays”
Counting COVID in Colorado
Sadly, Boulder saw its first death today. Numbers went up significantly compared to the steady incline we’ve seen the past couple of days. Denver is the hardest hit, yet other counties have a higher death rate. I find that checking these numbers each night keeps me in check and not getting lazy or slack offContinue reading “Counting COVID in Colorado”
