While I was home my dad gave me folders full of family history that he’d had the foresight to get from my great great aunt before she passed away. Making the very misguided decision of resigning a 2-year lease on a Manhattan apartment. Walks around our blooming neighborhood and putting my fear into action by fundraising for my mom’s department at the hospital. More visits to Nanny and Poppy’s deck, more delicious food, more alcohol than I would typically consume and lots of going through old photo albums from our basement!


I very quickly settled into new routines which included sudoku puzzles, salads, tanning, a LOT of working out and reading. Having my best friend a few blocks away!īy April, it was clear that this was life now - and I am nothing if not a creature of habit. Workouts in my basement, on my deck, at the park. Walks to my grandparents house - where I would arrive to a glass of wine and piece of dark chocolate out on their deck. At night she came in the house through the back door, went straight downstairs to wash her clothes and then straight into the shower.īeing on Long Island had it’s silver linings as well - I will never forget this time with my family. Living with my parents and feeling the constant fear that COVID brought into everyone’s life, but especially my mom’s, working on the front lines. Then I made the journey to Long Island, where I would remain until July. A final fiesta at Maya for Mexican and margaritas and a farewell walk through Central Parks’ cherry blossoms. It would be the last time we ordered a bunch of dishes and all ate from the same plates for a loooong time. March offered a few early weeks of normalcy including one more Islanders hockey game, a Dermot Kennedy concert and a solo trip to the new (and beautiful) Fotografiska.īut looking back, the true highlights of those last two weeks were the more normal, every day things - like a brunch at one of our favorite spots, Divya’s Kitchen. The highlights of February 2020, before COVID-19 sent the year in a very different direction, are all documented in this post! Big fan! Recommendations include: Odd Duck, Lakefront Brewery, Uncle Wolfie’s Breakfast Tavern, Cafe Centraal and Milwaukee Public Market).ģ9 miles! Including runs to and from the Dallas F45 studio, a tour around Wisconsin, a snowy run in Central Park and a headlamp run in Central Park!Ī very thoughtful Christmas present from my supervisor meant that I could go to F45 throughout my time in Dallas, Texas for work! Milwaukee had SUCH GREAT FOOD, cocktails and beer. Louis, I got to go to an Alanis Morissette concert! And it was basically a Jagged Little Pill album sing-a-long. Louis, I finally got to give ax-throwing a whirl - and found these.Īlso in St. I got to visit my best friend and her husband in Milwaukee - we hadn’t seen each other in something crazy like 4 years and we had such an amazing time just catching up.
