I did some quick diurnal math and, because I was supine with illness for the entirety of last weekend, I calculated that I haven’t left the house in over 2 weeks.

Valentine’s Day was the last time I actually left the farm, and that was just to pick up some exorbitantly priced groceries ahead of a winter storm.

As such, Jen and I agreed that I needed to get out of the confines of our 1,300 sq. ft. farmhouse for a little while today, even if it was…to go to the grocery store again. (Hey, it’s all I have time for after work.)

We ended up going later than originally expected since the snow was coming down pretty hard for a while…

And I’ll tell you, after 2 weeks of being in a house that’s best described as “dimly lit on a good day,” the fluorescent lighting of the local Price Choppah was VIVID.

But now we’re stocked up for a few more days; hopefully we’ll have the time to jaunt over to the co-op next week for our “real” grocery trip.

After we got home we did a bit more work with Daph’s talker. Last night she wore my watch for a while because we’re trying to get her acclimated to wearing something around her wrist. That way she can use an Apple AirTag holder as a “watch,” so if she happens to abscond/wander off we can find her.

As such, we worked on “watch” and “wrist.”

And tomorrow marks another weekend, and one where we’ll all hopefully be upright and without illness. Hmm. I guess I’ll need to figure out something for us to go do then.

Okay, see you then.
