I do not know what is going on, but I've been sleeping for total crap this past week. At least three times lately I have woken up in the middle of the night, unable to fall back to sleep. 2 of the 3 times (including today), I never did fall back to sleep, meaning essentially… Continue reading Sleep + snow
#1: Adios election ads!! Very excited to have the always so informational and influential election ads go buh-bye now. 🤣🤣 I voted in-person absentee last Thursday, but Ivan never made it over there, so he'll go today. #2: Feeling a little wonky today in general. Some work stuff/ stress that I can't really talk about… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
I was at the gym yesterday afternoon, doing a full body strength workout. (My current plan includes 2 leg/ab days, 1 back/biceps day, 1 chest/shoulders day and 1 full body day. I was thinking yesterday- I think the full body days are my favorites. It's enough variety that no single body part gets overly fatigued,… Continue reading My favorite people at the gym
Pretty Woman!! Last night Ivan and I went to see the Broadway musical Pretty Woman! On a Wednesday night, at 7:30 p.m.! Definitely classifies as an adventure this week, though with our fall weekend + my birthday + now this, this whole past week has felt extra adventurous. Side note- for Laura's "one little adventure,… Continue reading A Broadway night and the end of appt. overload?
I'm happy to report that my week has done pretty much a full turnaround. After spending much of Monday (okay, and part of Tuesday) sort of wrapped around the axle in a bit of a stress-induced spiral, I feel much better today. I credit this with the fact that yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) I decided to… Continue reading Better
First, I'm sure you're dying to know the outcome of my very scientific poll. Here are the results so far, from my overwhelmingly large sample size. 🤣 I find it pretty interesting that "podcasts or audiobooks" was the clear winner, and surprisingly to me- "listen to nothing" was the runner up! Not sure what it… Continue reading (Very) random Friday list
It's another Wednesday, which means another early 5:30 a.m. swim practice morning.... Unlike last week, today was one where Asher didn't want to get up.... Ugh. But, he knew he "had" to, because he had practice conflicts last night and couldn't go, and he can't go Thursday (XC meet) or Friday (soccer practice) this week.… Continue reading Another early Wednesday + mid-week misc.
Hello! Sorry for the unintentional blogging hiatus. Life has felt a little bit all over the place, as it tends to. Work: Work continues to be chaotic and just generally somewhat stress inducing, with a lot of mental energy going to being the primary (and pretty much only) person onboarding our new employee. She's able… Continue reading Catching up
Just dropped Asher off at swim practice a little bit ago. It started at 5:30 a.m. For me, this isn't exactly a "huge" deal- my alarm normally goes off at 5:15 these days and I try to be up by 5:30 at the latest, anyway. But a couple things. 1) In order to have him… Continue reading A little whine about early mornings
The weekend was just okay... I mean, it was good, but maybe not great? I was up early both days- Saturday Asher had swim practice at 7, and Sunday I drove Ethan to work by 7. This isn't a big deal, really, because I usually always wake up pretty early. But I do like having… Continue reading The weekend and a MONDAY Monday
GRATEFUL KAE
