The end of this week has involved quite a lot of time in the car. For various reasons, we were flying solo for swim practice (no carpool) both Wednesday and Thursday. Both days, practice was not held at our local high school- instead, we had to drive ~20 minutes to different pools. Meaning I had… Continue reading A funny ’90s music comment + pretty walks

On to a new day
I had a rather stressful day yesterday. No need to elaborate, but it was just mentally taxing for me, and I have a lingering dull headache right now as a result. There were some good things, though. 1- The weather was spectacular. It cooled down and the sky was a brilliant blue all day. 2-… Continue reading On to a new day
Workday appointments, resisting temptation and spider dreams
Good morning....I've been up since about 4:18 a.m., when I woke suddenly from dream. In the dream, I had felt a little something under my pillow. So, (in the dream), I of course moved my pillow, and found dozens of SPIDERS crawling all over the bed! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, big, black, disgusting spiders!! Ivan and I… Continue reading Workday appointments, resisting temptation and spider dreams
About hot tubs
A reader requested a long time ago (like maybe January?) that I write an "all about hot tubs" post, and I totally forgot!!! Something made me think of it this morning while I was sitting IN our hot tub. Megan, if you're still reading, I'm sorry!!! Here you go! My morning tea, taken today on… Continue reading About hot tubs
Some stuff about my week
*Walking. I've walked M, T and Th this week so far. Weather was crummy early in the week/ cold, so I used the treadmill. Yesterday, we had a beautiful, warm day, so I got outside for 20 minutes before starting work. *Stretching and workouts. My workout on the schedule was a simple one- a recovery… Continue reading Some stuff about my week

I have had a free Penzu account for years now, though my… Continue reading An online journaling tip
Looking like a good day
Last weekend, our first full weekend home, was pretty busy. Multiple volleyball games, soccer tournament, etc. So, I've been looking forward to this weekend, because we had literally zero plans on the schedule. (And looking ahead, most of the next weekends for....hmmm....eternity, don't look nearly this open.) Last night Ivan and I went out for… Continue reading Looking like a good day
Checking in & good/bad list
Gosh, it feels like it's been a while, which is so rare for me. We were gone all weekend (Friday --> Sunday night) for the Wisconsin State Championships swim meet and yesterday kind of felt like a whirlwind, too. My life feels a little weird right now. Our spring break trip is coming up very… Continue reading Checking in & good/bad list
omg Olympics
Short on time here this morning, but OMG. Did anyone see the end of the Ladies' Free Skate last yesterday?!?! After my posts recently about high level athletes and their sacrifices and discussions about if it's all worth it....well, last night it most definitely did NOT look worth it! If you haven't seen the story,… Continue reading omg Olympics
Little life catch-up
The weekend flew by this time...boo. Sunday night, Asher even said, "Wait, it's Monday already tomorrow? The weekend went so fast!" I'm not really sure why, since for us, it was actually a lower key weekend than usual. (No full day swim meets or tournaments or anything like that.) It was a good weekend, though!… Continue reading Little life catch-up
