Today is the 109th day of 2021. I saw somewhere or heard on a podcast I think last week that it was the 100th day of the year (would have been on Saturday, April 10th), and that kind of stopped me in my tracks for a sec. I remember thinking when I heard that, Wow!… Continue reading Day #109
It's been a nice last few days. Some sunny weather, got my 2nd dose of vaccine (no side effects with either, except maybe a tiny headache last night?), some much needed cleaning, soccer games, outside time, Mexican food.... Here's a little recap: *A lunchtime walk on Friday. I did a short 27 minute core workout… Continue reading Last couple days in pics
Hooray, hooray, today's the day! After 3 carefully spaced out, negative COVID tests, we are done with quarantine! The boys have been CLEARED to return to school and activities today!! I am grateful to both the clinic staff and school staff for helping us navigate the current and somewhat confusing post-exposure quarantine guidelines. I am… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday- Quarantine Edition
Quarantining = eating all meals at home, obviously...and besides one pizza last weekend, we haven't ordered out at all, either. As I said though yesterday, my work hours have been a little wacky. I haven't really felt like I have had an abundance of free time, probably due to working until later in the day.… Continue reading Meals + leisure
Well, here we go. Life has served up a perfect opportunity to practice the "power of positive thinking", "reframing negatives", finding the good in crappy situations and all of the stuff I have been working on over the past few years. 🙂 We have embarked on a full blown quarantine around here, after having very… Continue reading An opportunity to practice positivity
Hello. Didn't really feel like writing today, because I don't actually feel like doing anything right now. I am all discombobulated at the moment. 🙂 But, sometimes even a few minutes of writing something down can help, and I know deep down that I thrive best on routines...and writing has become part of my morning… Continue reading Discombobulated
I knew it would happen....it always does. We had the most gorgeous weather last week. We hit 60 degrees, the kids even wore SHORTS to school almost everyday (ridiculous- it was not that warm, but whatever. I am 100% over arguing with small people about what they will or will not wear, considering that it… Continue reading Fake spring & workout completion!
It's so dark out this morning!!! 😦 We had Daylight Savings time on Saturday night here in the U.S., as many of you know, so it is now darker later in the morning but light out until later in the evening. I may be in the minority that actually prefers the light in the morning...at… Continue reading Dark morning! New week.
I've mentioned before that my husband is notoriously difficult to buy gifts for. He doesn't really have any big hobbies that require "gear" or "equipment" (no golf balls or tees to buy....doesn't really like to read....is pretty minimalistic about many things like coffee mugs, etc.....). He is also rather picky about his clothing and likes… Continue reading Birthday surprise
Oh my goodness, I am so exhausted!!! Well, I'm feeling a little more human after sleeping for 8 1/2 hours last night (significantly more than my usual amount of sleep....). I was just sitting here catching up and updating my planner a bit after a hectic last couple of days, and I can kind of… Continue reading Yay weekend
GRATEFUL KAE
