May 10 – 16

I finished the six week walking challenge at work. I successfully got in 10,000 steps every day!

Sunday was Mother’s Day. We got some simple gifts for our moms but that was about the extent of our celebrations.

Mark spent a lot of time trying to buy a truck for his lab this week. It would be really nice for them to have a truck to drive to the bird refuge. He found one they would like to buy and are just waiting for the check from USU. Hopefully it all works out!

Mark was also able to go fishing with Dr. Conover. He had a good time and caught four fish. Mark also perfected how to bread the fish and cook them in our air fryer. Lucky for me, I enjoy eating fish more than Mark so I usually get all the left overs.

On Saturday, Mark helped dig up a water line at his Grandpa’s house in Richmond with his family. We also were able to plant some seeds in our garden when he came home. We enjoyed our first produce too- a radish.

Mark and I talked about what we want to remember about the time when life was so affected by the COVID-19 virus. We’ve been very grateful we can work from home because many people have lost jobs. We have also been practicing patience when hearing the many, many conspiracy theories about the virus. We are grateful to live in a country where we have the freedom to believe and act how we feel is right, but do hope that people will be thoughtful and do some research before believing every article they read about this virus. Some of the things we hear from friends on social media are eccentric.
