Well, today ended up being quite the adventure day. We had to go back out to get gas and yet a few more missed items from the grocery store, and we have been wanting to get some cloth and a pressure rod to set up a bit of door for the den, so we decided to go out to Joann Fabric's and the Safeway out on Aurora in Shoreline to see if the fabric store was open again to let people in. It was, as long as you wore a mask.

We looked around and found the perfect fabrics. We wanted one for each season, that was generic enough to keep up the whole season without having to worry about holidays. My sister sewed up the first one and now we have summertime sunflowers in the doorway and it's just so perfect!

It's sad that an impromptu trip to a fabric store was such a highlight, but it was. It was something we haven't been able to do for a long time, or even had a reason to do in a long time. And it was impromptu. I haven't done something on a whim really since the pandemic started. Everything is planned out now. I never realized how important spur of the moment things are until now.

For lunch we stopped at Ivars to see if they had reopened to the public. Before it was set up only for delivery, but now they're open for takeout or eating outdoors. We got ours to go and it was do delish! Again, it's been a long time since I've had it, but it brought with it a sense of normalcy.

We came home and watched POTC: At World's End, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I also got some chores done, including two loads of laundry. Leftover pizza for dinner and now we're watching So Dear to My Heart in our Disney watch. This is a first viewing for both of us. It's pretty cute.

No idea how work will go tomorrow, but it's nice to not feel stressed about it. Whatever happens will happen, and we have the ability to keep it under control better now. It may end up being a full day at the office, or I may end up finishing the day at home, I just don't know! Hopefully I'll get a good night's sleep, that's what I really care about!
