Re: What little thing(s) brought you Shimmers of Joy during quarantine?
I have felt very loved by friends reaching out.
We used some of the stimulus money to make our backyard nicer. I got deck tiles (plastic snap in place squares basically) since we haven't got the money to redo the deck and it was too rough to use. Then added a picnic table and umbrella and large deck box for kid toys. It's made things look so much nicer and more inviting.
I have barely worn a bra and that is worth celebrating!
I got to mow once a week while it was still not terribly hot. It's my favorite chore and I listen to podcasts and it's just nice. And now that it's oppressively hot, I have found a teenage who will do it for me.
A mom group I'm in has started doing Wine Fairy gifts. Basically you ding dong ditch anyone in the group and leave them a little treat. It's typically got some wine or coffee but also general gifty stuff. It feels so, so nice to have someone drop off a surprise and is so fun to pick something out for someone.
