43 Mundane Things About My Husband

Last year in honor of my husband’s birthday, I wrote a blog post called 42 Great Things About My Husband. This year has taught me to appreciate all the many mundane things in life that I took for granted pre-pandemic, so I thought it would be appropriate to share some totally mundane things about my husband.
