My wife’s 30th birthday is coming up at the end April. I want to do something nice for her but obviously there are Covid constraints. Any good ideas or recommendations? She’s not a fancy dinner kind of person so defaulting to that doesn’t work haha thanks in advance.

In a similar boat for my upcoming birthday and opted for Hook Hall. They have outdoor spaces you can reserve with fire pits. Good beer, cocktails, food. Okay wine.

Though in late April like C1 mentioned VA wineries would be a good option since weather will be much better.

For Valentine’s Day, my wife asked for a charcuterie board, wine, and board games. You don’t have to do a fancy dinner but you can do a different type of meal and activity and possibly build a tradition along the way.

Not need to spend money to make something special and memorable.

For charcuterie and wine, check out Cheesetique in Arlington and Alexandria. Add lobster Mac n cheese because it’s awesome.

If you have a backyard, throw a surprise outdoor birthday party with her best friends with a DJ, and invite a bartender to fix your drinks. Finger food for the menu or something catered from her favorite spot. Or invite a mariachi band in the morning to surprise her!

Too bad not into fancy dinner or I would have highly recommended 🌮 🔔

On a more serious note plan a day or weekend trip to Shenandoah, book a cabin, go visit a winery and enjoy time with each other.

Take her on a getaway house excursion if you’re woodsy folk but want something a bit more glamorous than camping

Has COVID affected your friendship (especially if you are an introvert)? I’m kind of an extreme introvert and has completely isolated myself from my core group of friends. Dynamics of our friendship has completely shifted in the last three month and I feel like I’m on the outskirts looking in which really sucks. Not sure what I’m trying to achieve with this post but I wanted to get this off my chest cause I’m feeling a bit down. Also making amends that I also have to put in the effort...

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...
