* Last Sunday was a work day for us, and though it's typically not a day where we have meetings, we did have a meeting that afternoon. It was a deep, mentally-intensive meeting, and when it was done, we were all pretty tired. The guys sat down to watch football and small naps may have crept in. This was my favorite part. Miss Isla was trying to play with Ryan, and he had no idea! (Lest you think he was sleeping on the job, I'll insert here that we take our "evening" each day whenever we can grab it throughout the day. So a bit of down-time in the afternoon was his evening.)
* We were back in the storage room much of the day Tuesday, but this time I made labels for all the shelves! This project involved the paper cutter and laminator, so again - SUPER FUN DAY!!!! While I did that, Ryan assembled some coat racks that had been donated for tenant apartments. He loves putting things together and got half of them finished! (One of our tenants also loves working with her hands, so he invited her to put together the one for her apartment, and she was SO EXCITED to do that. He supervised, but she did all the work on that one!)
* We had some snowy, icy weather here on Wednesday, so Ryan was kind enough to do all the driving for transportation runs that day, so I could just be a passenger! Husband of the year! (He even took me to Rise n Roll after the morning run so we could have a donut date! Despite the rough weather start to the day, though, we had an amazing sunset, and I treasured every moment of it. Side note: I must talk about sunsets a lot because one of our tenants said that evening, "I thought of you today because I saw the sunset when I took out the trash at work."
* Friday evening started our weekend (we had a normal one this time...that never happens!) and we kicked it off with some grocery shopping! I wasn't sure how long it would take us to get through everything, so I suggested we get a rotisserie chicken from Sam's for dinner, and it was so good. I can't even remember the last time we got one of those! So yummy - and so fast!

What a busy week! I love some good organization!!
I like the picture of Ryan sleeping with the toddler nearby!
My workplace is almost across the road from the FW Sam’s Club. I work in one of the big, white, flat buildings at Lima and Cook.
How do you sanitize the common areas and how often?
What kind of items are donated to Willow Bridge and is there a procedure for sanitizing them?
You are brave to let people into your home during the pandemic. Are your parents staying healthy?
With the new strains of virus that can be all around you seem to not worry very much as masks are only on when you go out shopping. You have visited churches, friends/family, traveled, shopped and seem to have a carefree attitude/vision of all of this. My friends and I stopped meeting during winter as we sat outside over summer to visit and now only text or call and I use online shopping when I can. I have underlying conditions at just age 49 waiting for the vaccine. This is not to make anyone upset just trying to get a perspective.

Tamar - Me too! And happy birthday!!
Tracy - I think I know the one you're talking about - but before I make an idiot of myself, I will look on our next trip!
Kay - Thanks for your questions. We do sanitize the common areas multiple times a day with deep cleans of those areas on a regular basis as well. The items donated are taken to a storage area and are sanitized before distribution. My parents are healthy - and thank you for asking about them! We do wear masks more than when we go out shopping, though we don't wear them inside our home. We know this all can be a touchy subject, and I do work very hard to make sure I don't misrepresent the precautions we do take, but I don't talk about every single part of life on the blog. It's been a consideration of mine about whether or not to even continue blogging, simply because I don't wish to stir up any angst with anyone.
I love me some good organizing!!!
One thing I want to comment on from the comment above is it is so interesting to me to see how different states/provinces/countries are handling the pandemic. Some of the things you (and other bloggers) write about, we haven't been able to experience in almost a year in Canada (eating in restaurants/attending church in person/hugging our friends). I know that you and Ryan would never break the law so it's just a difference in what is mandated by different authorities.
It makes it hard to know what is "okay" and what isn't because each area has its own regulations and definitions of "okay."
Those are just my thoughts... Take them for what they're worth :)
Also, please don't stop blogging. Although it's hard to see people living with more freedom, I recognize (hope and pray!) that this is a temporary time and we will get back to "normal" again.
