This year, the Easter Bunny will not be stopping by our house because she is in social isolation in her rabbit den. In all reality, the Easter bunny is stressed, suffering from anxiety, and trying to not watch the news. Normally, I’m the Easter bunny that makes baskets for not only my husband but also my pets. This requires going to Walmart or The Dollar Tree to get treats to put in them. Last year the pups had fun sniffing up their eggs. Yes, my pets are spoiled rotten. As is my husband.
When I was drying my hair I came up with the idea to use my Easter eggs that I had on our coffee bar for something fun. My husband and I have never done an actual Easter egg hunt. Today, that all changed. I proposed the idea to him to hide eggs in the house and compete to see who could find the most (he did). He thought it sounded fun so we decided to stuff the eggs with bacon. Yes, I did say bacon. We did not actually have any candy to put in the eggs. Thanks Covid-19. Instead, we did three prizes for the winner. 1. Free Feed The Dog Pass 2. $15 or under item from Poshmark 3. Treat to Starbucks.
Just to add something funny, I told my husband I had come up with the idea of “zonk” eggs. Meaning, these eggs would not count towards a persons total egg count. My husband felt strongly that eggs were eggs. However, he went along with the idea. For the zonk eggs I put cough drops in them so that we would know which ones did not count. My sneaky husband added some cough drops to his pocket to put into his eggs (in an effort to let me win ha!!). Even with that, I still lost. I was not good at Easter egg hunts when I was little and am still not in my 30’s. What can I say, some things never change. The Easter Egg I hid in the toilet paper roll should never have been found though, in my opinion.
I’m thankful that yesterday night we went to Walmart to get a few items to make for breakfast. I made scrambled eggs with cheese and honey biscuits with cinnamon butter. Jeremy assisted me with helping open the can of biscuits (I don’t like how it pops) and making the coffee. After eating breakfast and watching a Survivor, we listened to the Seacoast church service online. Click here for their online service page. For those that are not able to go to church, for any reason, definitely look into an online service. I have a spiritual journal that I take notes with as I drink coffee.
Though it is raining, today has not been as gloomy as I expected. Most likely because of the Easter Egg hunt. Also, Jeremy helped me with the dishes and laundry so that was nice. I’ve been feeling extremely burned out lately. I’ve doubled my medication to see if it is more effective (and with the Dr.s permission). So far, I have had headaches & felt nauseous. Not the results I was hoping for. If it does not help me go in the right direction I will just go back down. Figuring out self care is so incredibly difficult and expensive. I’m going to try to make more ideas of affordable options for my Youtube channel, located here.
Hoping wherever you are, that you had a nice Easter. That you, your family, and your friends are well. Let’s all remember to be thankful for our lives, as they are valuable. So many people have unfairly lost theirs lately. Let Easter remind you that Jesus gave his life so that we could have everlasting life. For those that believe in angels, you may find comfort from the verse below.
The angel said to the woman, “Do not be afraid , For I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.” Matthew 28:55-6 NIV
