Not surprisingly, April Vacation came and went pretty fast. For the most part, the weather was beautiful and it was nice to be able to get outside and enjoy the weather.
On Tuesday, I met up with a good friend in Newburyport. It's been forever since I've had plans with another human and it was a pretty good feeling. We wondered around, stopped in some shops, and had a patio lunch. It was really nice to do something "normal" but we were both definitely very careful. We're both also teachers and it was nice to process the 2020-2021 school year with a fellow teacher. I have really enjoyed remote teaching (disclaimer, I know it's not ideal and there are many issues with it, but I really love it) but this last eight weeks was a slog.
JO and I also got to enjoy a lovely night on the patio at Nubar. We went a few weeks ago and I just couldn't resist going back. It was so fun to get dressed up and not have to wear a jacket 😃
On Friday, we hit up the fire pits at Bow Market. It was pretty chilly but the fire pits definitely kept up warm and cozy. I do miss having the ability to be spontaneous and not have to make reservations three weeks in advance but it's totally worth it to be able to enjoy Bow Market in a safe way.
I loved this shout out from the chef/owner of Puritan and Co to the city of Cambridge. From the get go, my city made some bold, progressive moves to help mitigate virus transmission while also supporting the small businesses and restaurants in the city. This program of hiring local restaurants to feed the people in our city's homeless shelters was a great example of why I love Cambridge so much!
Speaking of Cambridge, the real estate market is out of control. Check out this listing that recently went for $200,000 over asking 😂
This week also marked one year since the "take a tide pod and sit in a tanning bed" moment. Imagine where we could be now if that wasn't our leadership during a crisis?
