05\/02-05\/03<\/strong> – Weekend Recap<\/a><\/p>\n

05\/05 (Tue)<\/strong>
\nSaw our first hummingbird of the year. Also ran errands on my own, and although it was nice to feel independent, I hated it as well. I’m spoiled by Joe doing all the driving and handling the cart when we go shopping. <\/p>\n

05\/07-05\/10<\/strong> – Extended Weekend Recap<\/a> <\/p>\n

05\/14 (Thu)<\/strong>
\nJoe had the day off so we went to Elsen’s Hill in the morning to look for warblers. We did see a lot of bird activity, even though warblers weren’t part of it. We went to St. Charles later and hit up a few places and stopped at a Mexican place for lunch. <\/p>\n

That afternoon we received an order of coffee syrups from Monin<\/p>\n

05\/16-05\/17<\/strong> – Weekend Recap<\/a><\/p>\n

05\/20 (Wed)<\/strong>
\nFinished setting up the patio by pulling weeds, planting zinnias and separating the area with Dollar Tree fencing, and adding solar lights.<\/p>\n

05\/23-05\/24<\/strong> – Extended Holiday Weekend Recap<\/a><\/p>\n

05\/28 (Thu)<\/strong>
\nOn the way to Lincoln Marsh to do some birding we stopped at the county animal control to donate a big box of potty pads we still had in the garage. At this rate I don’t know when we’ll be getting another dog so we might as well donate them and make some room.<\/p>\n

05\/29 (Fri)<\/strong>
\nRecently got back into reading, and figured I would stop needing to recharge my phone so often if I used my Kindle instead. Except apparently my Kindle 3 will no longer accept books from Libby. This feels like an intentional move to force people into buying a new Kindle even though there’s nothing wrong with the one they already have.<\/p>\n

05\/30-05\/31<\/strong> – Weekend Recap<\/a><\/p>\n

Notable Media This Month:<\/strong><\/p>\n

DTF St. Louis<\/a><\/em><\/strong> – Starring Jason Bateman and David Harbour, this was a strange, yet intriguing, show. Don’t let the homophobes in the IMDb reviews dissuade you from checking it out.<\/p>\n

Big Mistakes<\/a><\/em><\/strong> – I never got into Schitt’s Creek, but after seeing Dan Levy’s performance in this show, I think I might give it another try.<\/p>\n

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die<\/a><\/em><\/strong> – Heard about this one on an Instagram reel and was intrigued. It was so strange but kept our attention. I’m not sure I’ve seen a comedy starring Sam Rockwell that I didn’t like.<\/p>\n

The Killer’s Game<\/a><\/em><\/strong> – My brother mentioned this one so I borrowed it from the library. There is a seriously unhinged line in the movie that made me laugh so hard. Starring two Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> alum, it was an entertaining ride.<\/p>\n

Shrink<\/a><\/em><\/strong> – This is an older show about a guy trying to make it as a psychiatrist and much like other hidden gems, only lasted one season. We blew through it quickly and I wish there had been more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
