So Ivan left Saturday morning for California and will be away until Friday, meaning this whole week I have some "husband-free" time. This may sound bad, but I was kind of excited for this week!! (Don't worry, Ivan doesn't read my blog; he won't be offended.) I mean, it's not that I want him to… Continue reading Some husband-free time
Whewwwww this has been a WEEK. Final week of school for Ethan: The end of the school year has arrived for Ethan (Asher still goes until Tuesday; their school does this special thing where the graduating 8th graders get out a few days early), and it felt like a major whirlwind! Last Tuesday was Ethan's… Continue reading 8th grade graduation… on to high school!
I have a question about flexibility. And no, not flexibility as in what I might normally talk about in this space- the flexibility to work from home, or work/life balance, or things like that. I am literally talking about flexibility, of your body. Is it actually possible to really improve flexibility??? I feel like I… Continue reading Flexibility: a question
I feel like this week is that final push, up the hill toward the FINISH banner in a race. When I sat down Friday to check over the family Google Calendar and plan out the week a bit, it... took me a while. Ha. That whole idea of fitting pieces together like a game of… Continue reading Sprint to the finish
About to jump into meetings for the next 2 hours, so I'm taking a quick brain break. I've been working solid since 7:30 a.m. today. Couple random things: 1. Isn't this a pretty picture? From the end of Asher's soccer practice the other night. 2. Little hamster girl is so cute. She also is not… Continue reading A 5 minute post
I feel like my recent posts have been more "topic" based, and after a few of those I start itching to blab to you all about completely random, probably unimportant and uninteresting tidbits about my life. 😁 So, what have we been up to? Well, I'm currently sitting outside of Asher's swim practice in my… Continue reading What we’re up to
It always boggles my mind how the same thing can sometimes feel either SO hard or SO easy. I think this is because I'm really quite an all-or-nothing person. So when I'm "in" on something (mentally, I guess), it can seem quite easy. But when I'm "not in", it can feel impossible. This past week… Continue reading Week in review/ workouts going strong
I'm currently reading 3 books. Which is probably not that smart of me, because I seem to have a hard enough time getting through 1 book in a reasonable amount of time. (Because, as outlined in this other post, I guess I just prioritize other things.) But I do actually love to read. And I… Continue reading Books + reading speed
I had a realization last week, while listening to Sarah on Deep Questions (for a second time, actually- I listened first on my flight home from Texas, but was sort of in a post-food poisoning half-awake stupor, so I listened again with a clearer mind a few days later.) I keep a calendar, yes. I… Continue reading Planning but not planning, and time choices
I haven't really been talking much about workouts lately here, but I'm still working out. Still primarily doing strength training as my main form of exercise, aiming for 5 times per week ideally (though I don't always hit 5). I walk "most" days for ~20-60 minutes, as I can. Formal, higher intensity cardio has not… Continue reading Workout update + a couple gym things
GRATEFUL KAE
