OMG It’s April!

April 2, 2026 Leave a Comment

I feel like we’ve been slogging through winter for EVER! Not only is it spring, but APRIL is here! Bring it already! I’m sitting down with Deborah, Coco and you for a little catch up session over a nice beverage. Let’s get started.

OMG It’s April!

Over coffee I’d tell you that, because I spent the first quarter of 2026 laser focused on recovery from hip surgery, I did not travel and I missed it! I also did not work, but I didn’t miss that so much. Ha!

Over coffee I’d ask you about your plans for Easter/Passover. We will be extremely low-key here this year. My MIL fell on the day of my hip surgery back in January and is still not feeling great. She tripped on some stairs and broke her collarbone, 2 fingers, her wrist in 3 places and 4 ribs. Throw dementia into the mix and it’s been a challenge to say the least. We are working to get both MIL and FIL into a nursing home, and of course they are resisting. It takes a village.

I picked these up from a local “bakehouse” about a mile away. She has chickens running around her yard and the cutest Bulldog.

Over coffee I’d ask you if you’ve heard of micro bakeries or porch bakeries. I’m not sure how long this has been a trend, but I’m first seeing it now. People simply start baking in their homes and selling their goods. One can order online and arrange for porch pickup.

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Sourdough for the win.

With all the sourdough I’ve been baking these past couple of months, I suppose this could be a possibility for me? No. Maybe not. I can’t imagine how much work that would be. And do I really want people coming to my porch?

Over coffee I’d tell you I’m testing out the new Velocity shoe from Kuru. They’re designed for cross training, court sports and gym activities that require stability, traction and support. I’ve been wearing them in the Pain Cave for my strength workouts and they are insanely responsive and comfy. They’re going to be an excellent pickleball shoe when I get cleared to get back on the court. Just a few short weeks until that happens, but who’s counting?

What would you tell me over coffee? Any micro bakeries where you are?

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
