Have you seen Disney’s
Frozen 2?
***Advertisement: The movie is now
available on Disney Plus and Prime!!***
You know the song Into the Unknown, Ah-ah, _oh – oh…?
I bet your kids do?!
Well, Your Monrovia Planners
have a New Rendition!
We beat you to it,
Weird Al Yankovic!
Ah – ah, _ oh – oh. Safer at Home. __ Ah – ah,_ oh-oh.
Safer at HOmE. Safer at
Home. Safer at HoOOome
Ah-ah, _ oh-oh.
Although this time of COVID-19 feels like we are all going Into
the Unknown, we must persevere and remember, we are in this together!
Your Monrovia Planning team has been working remotely (also known as at home) for
one entire week now...And, we are forging ahead into another work week.
The initial thought of working from home sounded horribly lonely
to us. But now that we have an entire week under our belt, we are feeling UNSTOPPABLE!!
Although we are not physically at City Hall, we are still
connected and available to you! We continue to exist to serve you, the people
of Monrovia, to create a community that offers a premiere quality of life!
So, you may be thinking…how are you doing this?
Well, since a many of us never learned how to whistle, we instead
find joy in SINGING while we work!
Try singing with us!
Safer at HOmE, Safer at Home, Safer at HoOome….
Ah-ah,_oh-oh.
We have also been singing:
Working from HOmE, Working from Home, Working from HoOOME… Ah-ah, _oh-oh..
Ah-ah,_oh-oh.
In all seriousness, we know that Covid-19 is a serious public
health emergency. This time of unknown and uncertainty has created much anxiety
– for all of us.
Part of doing our best to create a community that offers a
premiere quality of life is doing our best to lift you up! This week, your planners want to share what
we learned while working and just being at home…All… Day…Long!
Here is this week’s top five list of creative things to do at
home!
Stay Connected! The planning team is using Zoom,
Facetime, e-mail, text, and phone to stay connected. The technology we have at
our fingertips is great! If there is a young-in in your household or a millennial
in your office, they can help get you set-up. My tween has been invaluable
during this time!
Learn a new skill, like sewing! My daughter and I pulled out grandma’s sewing machine on
Saturday and tried it out! Grandma showed us how to thread a bobbin! And after
all that bobbin thread-in we managed to sew a few face masks under her
supervision. These masks are great to
use when you go out to the grocery store. If you know how to sew, make a few
masks for your neighbors. Leave them on their doorstep with a little note!
Make Waffles! This past Christmas my parents gave
me a waffle maker. I will be honest…the first thought I had on December 25th
was…What on earth will I ever do with a
waffle maker? My family always buys
frozen waffles from Ralphs. Well,
now that grocery stores are out of frozen waffles, you can bet your bottom
dollar that I am using that waffle maker!! Did a loved one give you waffle maker for
Christmas? Maybe it is time to send them a Thank
You Card?
Pulling Weeds can be FUN! After this last week of rain, you may now have more weeds in
your garden. With our gyms closed, pulling weeds is a creative way to build
upper body strength. It will allow you to also work in some squats. If you have
a lot of weeds, pulling them will help pass time…and once you get started, it
may just become your new pastime!

Set-up Your Home Office! Home offices come in all different shapes and
sizes. Find a place in your house that brings on creative energy! Here are some
pics of your planners’ home offices! This is where we are working to continue
to serve you with your planning needs.
We miss seeing you in person.
Be well, Stay Safe, and Stay Home!
