Good news- the swim meet is all over. Everything went fine. There were the usual hiccups here and there, but nothing terrible. The biggest issue was that the head coach had set a ticket limit of 250 tickets per session (a.m and p.m.) because our pool just doesn't have that much space for spectating. He… Continue reading Meet is over + a day I’ve been looking forward to
Hello! Sorry for the unintentional blogging hiatus. Life has felt a little bit all over the place, as it tends to. Work: Work continues to be chaotic and just generally somewhat stress inducing, with a lot of mental energy going to being the primary (and pretty much only) person onboarding our new employee. She's able… Continue reading Catching up
This was a nice, variety-filled weekend. Got some things accomplished and had some fun, so, win-win. Saturday- Me + Asher- to early swim practice (7 am) at the farther-away pool, so we left home by 6:30. Forgot my phone at home (grrrr......), so my laptop I brought along to do things on while I waited… Continue reading A late September weekend
The weekend was just okay... I mean, it was good, but maybe not great? I was up early both days- Saturday Asher had swim practice at 7, and Sunday I drove Ethan to work by 7. This isn't a big deal, really, because I usually always wake up pretty early. But I do like having… Continue reading The weekend and a MONDAY Monday
Yay for the weekend! Work Report I had a good week, but it felt a bit on the intense side. Mostly due to work- I've continued training our new employee. She's amazing and it's going really well, but it's still just SO much constant interaction. Fortunately, I think the "worst" is behind us. She is… Continue reading It’s the weekend/ work + workout update

This past weekend was pretty great. I've talked, ad nauseam, about how busy we've been lately. We finally weren't busy this weekend!!! Asher left Friday morning to go up north with a few friends, to celebrate his friend's birthday at their lake house. So, we had a wide open weekend with just Ethan home. This… Continue reading Life lately
I feel very out of touch with the blogosphere!! I've been scrolling and reading other blogs on my phone, but haven't had time to comment much anywhere. And, I haven't updated here in a few days, either! Anyway, here are a few updates from the long weekend: *Sunday night 7/3- Ivan and I went to… Continue reading Holiday weekend/ other happenings
