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
Seeing as I really went down the Colorado/Utah rabbit hole this past week, I'm due for a "regular post". Backing up to Mother's Day weekend! From that long laundry list I wrote on Saturday morning, I guess I did okay. I mean, I'm not delusional- I didn't think I was going to do all of… Continue reading Mid-week updates
I have an extra skip in my step this weekend because the weather forecast is SO GOOD!!!!! As often has been happening to me on the weekends lately, I feel a little paralyzed, though. I technically have a lot of open space this weekend! But I have no real plans, yet, and can't quite decide… Continue reading Happy weekend!
My mom was in town this past week! So, I've been a little quiet in the blogosphere and just doing other things! It was so nice to have her here. She comes like this, alone, now and then and while of course I love to have both of my parents here, it's just a little… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
Ugh, I have just felt in a little bit of a funk lately. I touched on it in my time frustrations post the other day. That's part of it, I think- just the constant sensation of things not quite fitting right. It's... annoying! Kind of an underlying persistent stressor. But more than that, I have… Continue reading Blah
I've been feeling a little frustrated lately. It's been one of those phases (which I get in quite frequently, honestly) where it just feels like everything does not really FIT into my life the way I wish it would. In an average day, I am always trying to finagle ways to fit in (not in… Continue reading Time frustrations and other misc.
GRATEFUL KAE
