What's Currently Going On With Me

Welp here we are on Day eleventy billion (or 104) of sheltering in place, or in my case two places since I head to Blue's on the weekends since we both don't go anywhere during the week, so she's "safe." Like last time, I'm sharing Currently along with What's New With You because there's not much going on over here. 

Reading: So excited it's finally time for Book Challenge by Erin 13.0! Starting with Beach Read - Emily Henry

Watching:

• Concerts - Full weekly lists from here
• Amy Schumer Learns To Cook- Hulu: so freakin funny! And I learned about "tonnato" sauce, which I plan to implement very soon (though maybe not with fennel lol)
• Love, Victor - Hulu: very cute so far. I'm only one episode in...
• The Sopranos - HBO: Yes, from the VERY BEGINNING. I've never seen it before and as a Jersey girl this was apparently "unacceptable" ::shrug::

Listening to: US Summer Hits of the 90's on Spotify

Procrastinating: Going to the eye doctor. My annual appointment was originally scheduled for June and even though they're open I'm not ready to be that up close and personal with any one or any equipment that's touching other people's faces, thankyouverymuch! 

Dreading: July 14th. That's when Blue's company is announcing lay-offs. Fingers crossed she's not one of them. If you can, please send some prayers or positive vibes her way! 

Looking forward to: the weekend (as per yoosh). Work granted us an extra day off tomorrow, so I have a 4-day weekend! Planning to watch Hamilton on Disney+ Friday,  and eat London broil, chili cheese dogs and burgers, corn on the cob (or Mexican street corn salad if we can find cotija cheese) and potato salad... yeah, the highlight of my weekends is usually food these days!

Cooking: Mac n' Cheese with chicken and broccoli from Budget Bytes

Photographing: My friend's niece, who graduated from 8th grade. We celebrated with a low-contact drive-by, followed by our first al fresco dinner experience of the year! 

Sharing: A lot of book posts and my summer bucket list. Oh, and beer. I bought 3 new-to-me ones the last time I went to the store, and I don't like any of them. Ah well, they can't all be winners! 

Trying: Homemade Immunity Shots that my niece is making and selling. Doesn't taste terrible but even if it did, anything to make sure I'm staying healthy, and supporting my niece! Once I go back to work I may try her meal plans as well! 

Wondering: How I'll be on a weekend getaway with 12 other people. The place is supposed to be really nice- pools, a lake, activities. This is in place of our annual camping trip and I'm nervous. I know everyone, but I don't know where they've been. And honestly if Blue and I can't get our own room, I don't think I'd be willing to stay. 

Since last time...

The birthday "gathering" didn't happen because they wanted to go to a bar with outdoor seating and I wasn't feeling it (and neither were most of the others invited). 

For those playing along at home, I had to use up my vacation days from work by June 30th so I had my last completely lazy, no plans day off on Tuesday.

That being said, work is going well, for me at least. I'm getting more responsibilities, so at least those higher up are talking about me in a positive manner. I'm looking forward to learning more and gaining some more tech skills. 

Places are starting to open up here in NJ (my favorites TJ MAXX and HomeGoods!). I'm not going to any of them, but it's cool that things are opening. I DID attend my first al fresco dinner after the graduation drive-by. I was really happy that they did temp checks before allowing us on the patio- that made me feel a lot safer. 

What's currently going on with you? 

Are places opening up near you?

Linking up with Anne and Kristen!
