A couple weeks ago, my work computer got some sort of upgrade. After that, every time I opened a new window in our web browser (Microsoft Edge), it brought up this "home screen" of sorts from Microsoft. (It used to bring up some sort of hospital menu page? I don't know why this changed.) Anyway,… Continue reading Change the “bad news” default!
Another thing I did on my free weekend was to sit down on Saturday morning and methodically check off a big list of Life Admin tasks that had been looming on my to do list for WAY too long. They included: renew my license plates (online) log in to Beachbody and update my membership from… Continue reading Life Admin
One of the chores I wanted to get to this weekend included cutting back a very oversized perennial grass that is by our mailbox. I think I planted it at least 7 or 8 years ago now, and let's just say it has done very well in that spot. It has gotten HUGE. For the… Continue reading Ducks
I'm happy to see the sun again this morning! (View from my sunroom window. This pic sort of makes it look like we live in a jungle treehouse, which is definitely not the case. 🤣 This is just a close-up of our magnolia tree. Trying to capture the rising sun without capturing all the rain… Continue reading Thursday misc.
Hey blog world. This has not been my "most favoritest week" ever (I know that's grammatically incorrect, I just felt like saying it that way). All's good, just feeling edgy and kinda stressed out, but, c'est la vie. Some times are like that. The kids are staying up TOO LATE (has been pushing 10:30 the… Continue reading Random check in
5 Downs: 1- The overwhelm feeling I complained about several weeks ago has not lifted. If anything, it might be worse. argh. I don't have a great plan in place to combat this, at the moment. Maybe later today I will sit and try to corral all the to-dos from my head/ paper into one… Continue reading 5 downs/ 5 ups
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
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
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
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
