I didn't get a ton of feedback either way, but from what I did, a few people seemed interested, so, here's a couple more days. 🙂 Thursday CATEGORYTIME SPENTACTIVITIES? Notes?Deep Work6.5Several meetings today + a good amount of head down work prepping for an upcoming quarterly meeting series.Work0.75Misc. work.Personal Care1The usual- ~15 min early (teeth/contacts/etc),… Continue reading Time tracking: Thursday and Friday
I have "tracked my time" intermittently for a couple years now, but more in the journalistic way. I have my little spreadsheet and jot things down, but I have never worried about exactness or tallying it up or anything. For some reason, maybe inspired by the recent BOBW episode and the suggestion to try time… Continue reading 2 days of time tracking results
I feel like this last ~week or so has been fun! Backing up to last Thursday- I already talked about my nursing symposium presentation + fun "little adventure" out for happy hour with Ivan. Friday was stormy and low key and we had tornado warnings. Side note: I haven't mentioned here yet, but we had… Continue reading A fun stretch!
Looking back, March was an abrupt pivot from all things SWIMMING (February) to a big spring break focus- with several miscellaneous events/ activities, first. I think the general vibe in the beginning was some relief to be released from the craziness of swim season. The month ended on a mega-high: our epic spring break trip!!… Continue reading March 2026 Recap
Given our abrupt re-entry post-vacay, I was Very Happy to not have many major plans this weekend. Ethan did have an overnight tennis tournament, but we didn't go. They played Friday during the school day (why? I really don't know) and then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Hopefully we'll catch some other closer matches soon!… Continue reading The weekend, misc.
Getting home at midnight on a Sunday night and working Monday = NOT IDEAL, but I'm happy to report this week has been fine. Work has been pretty constant but not terrible. No one has grocery shopped yet, but we've survived on some pantry staples, frozen meat, etc. Ethan had an entire frozen pizza by… Continue reading Re-entry week: (lack of) groceries, a kid brag, diet update
It feels good to be home! I'm always pleased to experience that sense of "ahh, home sweet home", even after the best of trips. I feel like this speaks to the fact that we've built a life and home that is genuinely our happy place. No, our life is not perfect and I wish I… Continue reading Dog boarding update + post-vacation diet (the dog, not me)
First of all, Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️☘️ I'll always fondly remember our St. Patrick's Day spent in Ireland: little Asher in 2022 No big plans here except Ivan and I ARE going to go out for that St. Patty's Day beer at a nearby Irish pub. Planning to go later, after dinner, and hope… Continue reading Recent things
Last night as I cooked dinner, it dawned on me: I don't have to drive anywhere tonight. This is not the first time this has occurred- Asher has been driving now since early December. But we didn't have separate vehicles for both boys until more recently (January). And swim season had so many other events… Continue reading Reaping the fruits of teenaged drivers (and other random updates)
February.... did February actually happen?? I feel unsure. Ha. It went by so fast and in such a blur!! I hesitated to even do this recap, because as I mentioned in another recent post, my month can basically be summed up by: Need I say more? Well, yes, I always need to say more. 😆… Continue reading February 2026 Recap
GRATEFUL KAE
