June! The month in which everything returned, all at once. We got to start the month with our first in-person Accountability meeting since the beginning of 2020! What an incredible feeling. We even got to hug people and meet Nicole’s puppy in real life. Such beautiful bounty from Stephanie’s garden. And Courtney and her baby…
May was a whole lot of shuttling back and forth between our two homes, in San Francisco and the South Bay. Plus, we completed our vaccines and worked our way to some sense of normalcy! First, bagels from Daily Driver. And a homemade tri tip sandwich, with tri tip that Alex smoked. At the house,…

December was a full month, filled with holiday decor, videochats, bouncing between San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland, and neighborhood walking tours, which I decided would be their own post.

It felt like we were pretty settled in to pandemic life in October. We focused most of our energies on sprucing up our home and rotating between the three places we have around the Bay in San Francisco, Cupertino, and Oakland.
