Quarantine week SIX

May 9, 2020

Welcome to another edition of the

Quarantine Chronicles

with Kim

This week I was ‘telling’ a coworker that my job has gone from the worst ever to the best ever…

simply by moving my office.

If I had to categorize week six of the COVID 19 Quarantine I would file it under

PROJECTS

1. College Courses

This week I managed to complete another course.

This course brought me great stress, because I had to step out of my comfort zone and post VLOGs on YouTube to share with my virtual classmates.

I’ll spare you from the links to my course VLOGs.

Completing this course brings me one step closer the end of my college career.  I’ll be retiring later this year.

As for my full time job, I’ll probably never make it to retirement.

At home, not a whole lot has changed…

with the exception that there are fewer trees in the neighborhood, everything has remained unchanged.

To make up for the neighborhood aTREEocity, I went out early this week and planted a baby tree.

2. Tree Planting

It was an oak tree that I pulled up out of my landscape shrubbery and transplanted in the front yard in an attempt to replenish the trees that were lost.

Sadly, it appears that the small tree may not make it.

I’ll keep you posted.

I’ve tried to use my time at home wisely to get organized.

3. Kitchen Pantry Organization

I emulate my Mama when it comes to tidiness and organization.

Except in my pantry.

This is the official “before” photo.

I’ve ordered containers and labels.  The Container Store has not shipped the items that I’ve purchased.  Perhaps they are out of the office due to COVID 19 quarantine, I’m not sure.  They have not been clear in the email response that I received.

There will be follow up.

4. POSHMARK

This week I logged into my Poshmark account and for the first time, I posted items for sale

Never worn and listed at very low cost.

Perhaps they will sell.  If not, these may be found in a thrift store.

5. Shredding

While cleaning out the home office hutch, I found FIVE shoe boxes filled with items to be shredded.  I have taken it upon myself to personally shred each piece.  There are two boxes left.

6. Sharpie Art

It seems that I cannot get enough.Roy G. Biv

There has been plenty to do while under QUARANTINE!

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
