vixaliciousNot like, in the normal sense, but in the actual practical sense.
I've taken this week as a vacation week - I've been working on a big project since last September and I finished my big deliverable recently and I needed a mental break in general. It's only been exacerbated by the stress of the pandemic, so I feel lucky to be able to take time off.
But one of my main goals for the week is to draw up wills for myself and R. It's actually been on my to-do list for a while now, since my mom died. I was really focused (ie freaked out) about dying for a year or so after her death, and this was one of my steps from therapy to do finite things to prepare. (The other was to decide what I want to happen to my body after I die; still pondering that one!)
I'm also working on writing up full medical histories for us both, in case of hospitalization, so the other one would have something to lean on.
Good times, definitely what people do on vacation, right?
I'm also spring cleaning, organizing closets and the pantry. Tomorrow I'm going to clean off my craft area in the bedroom. I'm going to see if I can remember enough sewing to make some masks and headbands to use and donate. We got two cloth masks from a local company, and have an order of three coming from Amazon. I'd like to make the ones that have a pocket in them. We'll see how I do. I've got some spare fabric, and the worst thing that happens is that it doesn't work out well.
