My Don't Sweat the Small Stuff desk calendar taught a good lesson this week, spread out over the last few days. Thought I'd share it here for your benefit, too. 🙂 It said (in summary): To become a less reactive, happier person, remember the three R's: 1- Responsive Act appropriately to the actual issue at… Continue reading “The Three R’s” lesson + misc. life
There aren't really words, or at least I don't have them today, so I think I won't try. Instead, here are some photos from our visit to NYC, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and the 1,776 foot tall One World Trade Center in 2018. The 9/11 Museum was one of the most significant, memorable and… Continue reading 20 Years
Busy busy day today! We leave tomorrow for vacation! Woohoo!! TO DO LIST: âś… Get up early and pound out some WORK! (check.

That's… Continue reading Day-before-vacation list
Well, that's a wrap on the State swimming weekend for Asher. This also means that his season has come to end. It's been a pretty bizarre year and a half with swim team in general, due to covid. Everything came to a total halt last spring, followed by a summer with very, very small and… Continue reading Back from State weekend, and it’s hot
Today is the last day of summer school already! I know Asher started a week late, but these last few weeks have flown by. This morning he wraps it up. He has seemed to REALLY enjoy it, despite "being the only boy" in a couple of his art classes. I'm glad to see him enthused… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday: School, workouts, covid
Just jumping on quick before I dive into an afternoon of work. I took the morning off to get a haircut and color. I might be weird, but I hate getting my hair done. I really do not enjoy it at all. It takes too long, it's boring, I find sitting next to the stylist… Continue reading Haircut + Documentaries
Not much time today- I am on a mission to head out in~5 minutes to hit up the grocery store!! We seriously need groceries, and there just wasn't a great time so far this week. (Well, there probably was, but nobody wanted to go.) I tend to have a MUCH easier time (semi) cheerfully going… Continue reading Today + photo project fun
1. Something I'm happy about/ proud of: Asher decided to give open water swimming another try! He did a 1.2 mile lake swim race last summer, which he was really nervous about it but did it. This season, his swim team has some lake practices and a couple open water events on the calendar, but… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
A pretty red winged blackbird on my walk yesterday morning 🙂 The last few weeks, I have noticed that my "toughest" days of the week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably not surprising, I guess- I feel like this might be the case for other people, too. Mondays I tend to feel fresh, ready to get… Continue reading Days of the week
I slept for 9 glorious hours last night!! In case you missed it, I woke up yesterday at 2 a.m. (after 4 hours of sleep). I did okay yesterday, overall....I had some bouts of sleepiness, but hung in there ok. But, I was feeling it by evening and announced to my family that I was… Continue reading Shopping: The in store/ online battle
