Day 41: It’s Official
Today’s big news is that Rhode Island schools will be closed for the remainder of the school year. Ugh. I also recently learned that our town has a funding shortfall for the 2020-2021 school year. As is always the case … Continue reading

Day 40: The Big 4-0
OMG, it’s Day 40! We still haven’t gone grocery shopping. We still haven’t replaced the paper towel roll. Somehow we just keep plugging along. One of the hot topics on Twitter lately is the stimulus checks that are being sent … Continue reading

Day 39: TP, ENT, Etc.
Last night my kids talked me into playing their favorite card game, Butts in Space. It turns out to be a fitting game to play during the pandemic. The whole point of the game is to hoard TP. The player … Continue reading
