We do have a very nice indie bookstore but I haven't bought any new books since this all started because I just can't justify the expense. I am glad some of the small businesses are reopening so I can get them some business.

Certainly not like we're too busy and I do enjoy them. Maybe this weekend.

I can imagine how shocking it might have been the next morning to see it all run over. <br /><br />I love how many projects you do around the house. If you were my neighbor, I'd be borrowing you often for ideas or advice.<br /><br />Congratulations to Miss H! That is indeed very worthy of a celebration. Hope she was thrilled by the surprise. <br /><br />I've also used only 1 day of PTO thus far and even that to celebrate my son's birthday. Since we just recently went through a layoff, I'm trying to be careful with taking time off but at this point, I think I should take a day off.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-75890129656510636452020-05-26T17:26:39.855-05:002020-05-26T17:26:39.855-05:00I've been trying to buy from small shops whene...I've been trying to buy from small shops whenever possible. I've bought face masks off of Etsy and all my books from Bookshop.org when I could. I've also been buying my candles from my favorite small shop. It doesn't hurt that they're all Disney themed. My husband has been working from home since March and while there are a LOT of advantages I have noticed he has a harder time not working on weekends and will frequently disappear for a few hours when he was going to "go check on something really quick". We definitely need to figure out a balance. Congratulations to Miss H. Two years is fantastic and I hope she enjoys her celebration. Have a great week.Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-69836393072309173532020-05-26T16:07:46.998-05:002020-05-26T16:07:46.998-05:00I would not think spray paint of any kind could be...I would not think spray paint of any kind could be ruined by water. How disappointing. <br /><br />Yay for Miss H!!! Two years sober is a huge deal. <br /><br />I am one of the few who do not like Target. I used to, long before it became so commercial but it doesn't do it for me. I always try to shop local when I can but so many of the small shops haven't been open even for online or pickup. I did buy some wine from a small family business and it still hasn't shipped almost two months later. No response either. I may have to call the credit card company because they charged me immediately. <br /><br />What I try to buy from small businesses when I can, bath stuff like hand lotions, used books from the used bookstore doing curbside. I try to support the farmer's market. That type of stuff. I did buy some masks from a smaller business too. Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
