Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (53450) • Staten Island, New York 2 Oct

So I did the mail forwarding thing with the post office toward end of August. So far I haven’t received a single piece of mail that was forwarded to my mom’s house. I wonder why. Do they hold off on forwarding the mail for some...

I found it

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (53450) • Staten Island, New York 28 Sep

I decided to look under the couch again and saw something there. Could it be my puzzle piece? I wondered. I couldn’t reach it with my hand so used the long parchment paper box to try and get it from under the couch. The thing...

Not long ago I was gifted a beautiful 1,000 piece puzzle. I put it together at least a few times in the past. I just finished doing it again yesterday only to find one piece is missing. I could’ve sworn I had it in place but...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (53450) • Staten Island, New York 24 Sep

I was on the bus Wednesday and a Hispanic woman got on with a stroller. A male toddler was quietly sitting in there. The woman went to take a seat and as soon as she did, she took the toddler out of the stroller, lifted up her...

This used to be a picnic table

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (53450) • Staten Island, New York 2 Sep

My mom and I and two of her friends were in Newburgh, NY. They decided to sit down at one of the picnic tables. I joined them a few minutes later. As I was about to sit down the entire table collapsed. I don’t remember about...

Would you try this?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (53450) • Staten Island, New York 14 Aug

Just saw a video on IG where a couple made a watermelon sandwich but instead of putting feta cheese in between two slices of watermelon, they put pickle slices, followed by Havarti cheese drizzled with some balsamic glaze. I’ve...

Finally left the house

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (53450) • Staten Island, New York 29 Jul

Not raining now so decided to make the trip to the library. It’s only 80 according to my weather app but it feels stuffy and hot to me. The walk to the train was exhausting. Part of me wishes I had stayed home but I forced...
