Writing this on my phone as I get a pedicure done. I fly out at 8 am tomorrow for my work conference in Clearwater Beach, Florida! I’m looking forward to it. I’m honestly looking forward to both the conference part (I think it will be interesting!), having a King sized, gulf front room all to… Continue reading Quick weekend check in and some thoughts on “going out” at almost 43…
I'm feeling a sense of relief today. The last ~month or so has been so busy at work. On top of other things, in the last week I had 2 big quarterly meetings that I am basically solely responsible for preparing and presenting at (the 2nd one was yesterday at 3 pm). There are like,… Continue reading This and that
When I posted last time, it was Wednesday and I still felt rather frazzled. I'm happy to report that things finally feel like they're settling down. We had a busy but overall nice week. Like I mentioned, we attended a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday at Ethan's school. Of course, LOTS of "college application" talk… Continue reading Settling down
This short week is flying by- Thursday already! Before it's too far gone, here are a few scenes from our long Memorial Day weekend. Saturday's outing was the long walk to the bookstore + coffee shop. (Already shared.) On Sunday, Ivan and I walked Charlie at a nearby marsh, and then went to lunch at… Continue reading Weekend scenes and soda updates/advice from Chat GPT
Happy Memorial Day long weekend to those in the U.S.! I always love the long Labor Day/ Memorial Day weekends because it's 3 days off without actual "holiday plans", i.e. it's just 3 days OFF. Yay! I wrapped up work just a little early on Friday; I think I logged off around 4:15-4:30. I noticed… Continue reading Friday cleaning, teens + messy rooms, long weekend, CLOTHES
Darn it, broke my blogging streak yesterday. I have no excuse besides that I was just doing other things and kept saying "I'll do it later". But then later kept getting later and then we ended up watching a movie last night - Remarkably Bright Creatures!!, on Netflix- and, well, clearly, I never posted. I… Continue reading Oops, okay, this time I did forget to post
9:30 p.m. still counts! 🙂 I just sat down for the first time since I finished working at 5:30. I had a very thrilling Friday night around here. Ivan is away tonight with a friend, Ethan is away overnight for tennis, and Asher had golf, then work. He should be home soon. I decided to… Continue reading I didn’t forget to post 🙂
Given our abrupt re-entry post-vacay, I was Very Happy to not have many major plans this weekend. Ethan did have an overnight tennis tournament, but we didn't go. They played Friday during the school day (why? I really don't know) and then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Hopefully we'll catch some other closer matches soon!… Continue reading The weekend, misc.
Ahh, it feels SO NICE to have a mid-week departure planned, on the heels of a wide open weekend. This has most definitely not always been the case lately. On recent trips we've had multiple Friday night departures, which means working all week AND trying to get ready for trip... This Wednesday departure was planned… Continue reading Weekend: pre-spring break
I’m so relieved swim season is over now! It is SO FUN and there’s sadness when it ends too, but I was soooo excited to see nothing on the calendar this weekend. I spent Saturday mostly in a relaxed catch up mode. Nothing was “urgent” but I have a long list of things to do… Continue reading Finally breathing room
