Eek, it's been a little crazy! Last weekend we did sort of a mad rush to get the house cleaned, including the basement rec room/ guest room/ my office/ guest bathroom (which are the spaces that do not normally make it into our every-other-week cleaning routine), in anticipation of my in-laws arriving on Monday. But… Continue reading Thursday updates!
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
Brrrr, fall is HERE in Wisconsin!! My weather app said it was 47 degrees out this morning! 😳 I cannot fully decide what I think about this. On the one hand, many Septembers we still get very hot weather in Wisconsin, and I don't always love that either, because it doesn't feel like "fall" then.… Continue reading Fall is here, back to school part 2, money tracking, etc.
Hi friends! Sorry about the unintentional week-long blog break. I was not away on a mysterious adventure, but really just here at home, staying busy with regular life! I love blogging and reading blogs, but sometimes Real Life > Blog Life. 🙂 Also, a big part of what kicked off the blog break was this:… Continue reading Blog break catch up
I think our lack of a buffer day after our Florida trip kind of snowballed and caught up with me a bit this weekend. As I mentioned, we got home last Sunday night and then dove right back into everything on Monday. While yes, I technically unpacked immediately, there were still things lingering around all… Continue reading A little snowball
Re-Entry: We got home Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. before a full work week, which is obviously the IDEAL way to transition back from vacation to regular life. Ha. We have had a couple trips lately where we actually had an appropriate transition time factored in, and I will say, it was very nice. BUT,… Continue reading Decent re-entry, back to school grey zone, car + dog updates, etc.
I haven't really been in the mood to blog this week! Which is weird, and I'm not sure why. All is well- just maybe needed a little break, I guess. 🙂 I have been pretty busy with a work project that I NEED to have wrapped up before we leave for Florida in just over… Continue reading Quick updates
1. Writing off a day --> turning it around On Wednesday I had a crummy day. I was just in a "mood", everything was sort of annoying me, I felt unfocused and distracted and irritated with life. Fortunately I do not have these sorts of days too often, but I suppose they happen to all… Continue reading Friday 5: summer misc.
Kid-Free days! This work week started out smoothly, but seemed to rapidly accelerate. My Wednesday and Thursday were pretty jam-packed with meetings and calls and it became a little overstimulating! On the plus side, we ended up with a few kid-free days. This is very rare for us. But after a lot of "togetherness" in… Continue reading Unexpected kid-free days + a dog sitter strikeout
Jet lag: So, I am not good with jet lag. Sadly, I don't think I'm actually cut out to be a frequent world traveler, lol. I guess in fairness, it hasn't been that bad. But I remember after London, and now again with this trip, I just definitely felt it, and seemingly worse than anyone… Continue reading Jet lag + dog boarding
GRATEFUL KAE
