This was the nicest weekend!!! The first really "relaxing" weekend since the whole holiday rush + vacation + unpacking/ taking Christmas decoration down weekends. Friday night started off with driving Asher ~30 minutes away to a swim practice, BUT it meant I had a full hour to sit in the car and read my book… Continue reading A great weekend
The boys didn't have school yesterday. It was the end of the 2nd quarter, so, I guess that means no school for a teacher work day. After all of the time they have been OUT of school, I will admit I feel a little annoyed when I see the no school days on my calendar.… Continue reading No school day + misc.
1- Virtual Book Club! The Transplant department where I work has started a virtual book club, which will meet by Webex once a month on Monday evenings. I have never been in a book club, in part because the idea of potentially having to host a bunch of semi-strangers makes me anxious. 🙂 But this… Continue reading Friday 5
Beautiful sky at 7 am yesterday Milestone day! I went back to the gym yesterday! Since the pandemic, I've only been there to swim with Asher or to drop the boys off for their workout classes. As someone who was a 4-6 day/week gym goer for YEARS prior to COVID, this is crazy. Actually, looking… Continue reading Back in the saddle!
Oh, sigh. Life feels heavy at the moment. COVID is hitting Ivan's close friends & family circle hard in Mexico right now. I won't go into many details, as it's not really my story to tell. But he has lost several people close to him in a short time span and it is heart breaking.… Continue reading Be happy now
Happy Monday Tuesday. 🙂 Back to work (and school!! for real!!) today after the long weekend. 2 sort of frivolous topics to start the week: Planner stickers When I got my new Wonderland 222 planner, I decided to dive slightly into the "planner world" and bought several new pens, highlighters, etc. to use with it.… Continue reading Stickers & TV shows
Sunday was a nice day. There were some really nice moments of connection that I really enjoyed. As the kids get older, it can be so easy to kind of just all do our own things sometimes. On weekends, they like to spend a good amount of time playing video games with their friends. I… Continue reading Connection
1- Finally getting my Christmas decorations taken down!! I love Christmas so much, but there does come a point when I'm like, okay, it is OVER. Could the magic Christmas fairy please come in and just remove everything now?? 🙂 Since we we left for vacation right after New Year's, I didn't have a chance… Continue reading 5 Good Things
Yesterday was Day 1 of my trial period of Intermittent Fasting. I mentioned I wanted to try it for at least 4 weeks in 2021. I just finished this book and decided there is no time like the present: (I may need to rethink the only 4 week trial though. Sounds like it can take… Continue reading Day 1- Intermittent Fasting
Yesterday I updated a few pages in my planner. I finally did the December Review page, and I also decided how I want to use the Quarterly pages. I decided I think I don't want to make separate quarterly goals this year. It didn't flow that naturally for me last year, and I think I'm… Continue reading 2021 Book List + some planner pics
