I was laying in bed after taking Charlie out in the middle of the night (now that weather has been nicer and yard has thawed, we've been letting him run around in the backyard, and I think that unfortunately means he has maybe rediscovered the joys of rabbit poop? 😫), and I was thinking about… Continue reading March almost over for me and workout recap
Trip prep: This week has felt a bit odd. It was Ivan's birthday, I had PT on Wednesday morning, volunteer work Monday, work work all week, and I have to end work early to get to a haircut this afternoon. It also seemed to fly by. Which I am overall okay with... even though I… Continue reading A fast week + other misc.
At work, I have to interact with doctors a lot as part of my role. Obviously when I worked as an inpatient nurse, I also worked with doctors a lot, but in a different capacity. Now, my role in Transplant Quality is considered part of Transplant Administration, so instead of working in a more traditional… Continue reading Names: first vs a title
Almost spring break: We are now ~10 days out from spring break (!!!). We had a really chill weekend, and I'm so glad. The past ~5 years or so Asher has always had the State swim meet the weekend right before (or very close) to when we've left for spring break. I remember being out… Continue reading Almost spring break, lifeguarding + luck and the Chinese farmer
Happy Friday! It's been a pretty average week here, nothing much to write home about, but considering what Sarah continues to go through, average sounds great. 😥 One good thing this week was that Ivan got his braces off! He'd had an adult canine that never came down into place (his baby tooth just never… Continue reading Braces off + Gentle
I did something a little crazy Monday night, and that is: I packed for London! Even though we don't leave for 2 weeks. If you've been around a while, you'll know packing is sort of my nemesis. We just don't get along. lol. I am too indecisive, and unlike some people I know who are… Continue reading What I’m Packing for London in March
I need to acknowledge what happened to my dear, dear friend Sarah (SHU) the other day! For anyone who doesn't know yet (she posted about it here, so I know it's okay to share), she ran a half marathon on Sunday (in her very healthy, 44-year-old, 50+ mpw runner body) and went into Ventricular Tachycardia… Continue reading A scare + gratitude
February definitely felt like it flew by much more quickly than January. It also was a very Asher-heavy month! Which I think is okay...that's just how it goes sometimes. Especially now that Ethan can drive himself places! By default, we're just a little less "hands-on" with him now. As high school tennis starts up soon… Continue reading February 2025 Recap
1. Asher's swim banquet was Tuesday night. This was SO well done!! I've talked about how lovely other end-of-season sports banquets have been, but this one was maybe even above and beyond. The food was great (donated from Texas Roadhouse- grilled chicken, BBQ pork, those yummy rolls w/ cinnamon butter, mac n cheese, salad, cookies...so… Continue reading Friday 5: banquet, eyes, and I Believe
Yesterday I had the extreme privilege of being a guest poster (for the 2nd time!) on Elisabeth's amazing blog!!! As many of you know, Elisabeth has been running a F.I.G. Challenge this month (F.I.G.= Finding Joy in Gratitude), where people all over the blogosphere are collecting "figs", or little moments of joy, happiness, or gratitude… Continue reading My gratitude backstory guest-post, complaining vs negativity and Piglet
