First of all, sickness update: I think I’ve turned a corner! It’s been almost 2 full weeks now, but I’m finally starting to feel better. Whew. I just created a VERY LONG list of things to do this weekend. A lot of my normal post-vacation re-entry activities were ignored due to sickness. Definitely need groceries!!!… Continue reading The post I’d been avoiding… Health Goals 2026
Dang it, totally forgot to post yesterday! I ruined my NaBloPoMo streak. Oh well… I spent 2.5 hours Sunday morning cleaning out my email which had somehow ballooned to a total of 1,100 emails. Ugh. My personal email has been more and more of a problem lately. I don’t really like deleting things on my… Continue reading Forgot about yesterday…plus some quick thoughts on email and sleep
Ugh, my workout consistency has been fairly terrible...and not really short term, either. This is now officially an ongoing problem that waxes and wanes. Yes, it's true that I exercise regularly. But I just so rarely hit all of my target workouts anymore, or even all of my planned strength workouts. Back from 2015-2020, I… Continue reading More workout woes…
*Don't worry, this isn't a body image post.* But I'm currently feeling so frustrated with my body! I just feel like I'm way too young to suddenly have all these physical ailments, especially when I'm a supposedly "healthy" person who exercises and is active and does all the right things. (Could my diet probably be… Continue reading Frustrations with my body
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
Well, I think I made it pretty clear in yesterday's post that I was, errr, having some cold feet. I always like the IDEA of challenges, but when it comes right down to it, I think I don't actually like them!!! haha. At least maybe not in this phase of my life. 30 days is… Continue reading Whole 30 Day 5: pivot….
As you know, Ethan's done with school, and Asher is off today and Monday for the long Memorial Day weekend. Ivan and I both work today, but have Monday off. YAY!!! We, quite gloriously, have no big plans, though I always like to use this "bonus holiday" weekend for part "getting things done" and part… Continue reading Upcoming long weekend, travel planning and Whole 30 Day 4
Ethan is DONE!! He had his last 2 finals yesterday and was home by 1 pm. Here's his 1st Day vs Last Day pic! (I didn't catch him before school for a pic, and when he got home, he put on PJ pants and settled in to video game for a while... lol. I made… Continue reading School’s out (!) and Whole 30 Day 3
I don't want this "Whole 30" thing to take over my blog for the next couple weeks, as I realize there may be varying levels of interest! I also know that talk of diets + restricting in any way could be triggering for some people. But, I also think some people might be interested! And… Continue reading Whole 30 Update: Days 1-2
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
GRATEFUL KAE
