I think because it's been so warm, I'm having a hard time believing that it's already October 13th today. But it is! We haven't done too much yet in the way of "fall fun". I'm thinking this probably isn't going to be the year that we do "all the things" for fall. With the various… Continue reading Some fall fun
Hello hello! I didn't really intend to stop blogging for ~5 days, but I guess I did. Main reasons include: -Ivan is still in Mexico (gets home late tonight), so things have just been a little busier for me. -My parents came for the weekend (since I couldn't be in multiple places at once with… Continue reading I’m such a sucker! Back to volunteering….
I have heard the same general "message" in several different places in the past week, so it must mean the universe is whispering it loudly to me. Daily Habits > Once in a While! It started last week when I listened to an episode of the 5 am Miracle podcast titled "5 Bad Habits I… Continue reading Getting unstuck/ daily habits/ streaks
I haven't written much about covid lately. Back when the blog was new (and the pandemic was new), I feel like I wrote about it all the time. I am just so over it, I can barely stand to talk about it, much less write about it. I am just so tired of covid. I… Continue reading I’m tired of covid
Our world has been extra full lately with some misc. home improvement projects going on. Here's a little sampling: Garage: I've mentioned an ongoing garage project, which involved having it fully drywalled and new electric/lights installed. It's a long story, but a fairly straightforward project ended up turning into somewhat of a disaster. I'm very… Continue reading Little life update/ home improvements
I have a busy day today. Usually my Fridays tend to be "lighter" in everything (both personal and work related). But today is full of a bunch of randomness! Just glanced over my schedule: 07:00-08:15 "Pastries on the Playground" at school (donuts and coffee/milk outside before school) 08:30 Lady showing up to pick up Ethan's… Continue reading Busy Friday!
Positive Comments! Within the past week, I received two heartfelt, positive comments that were just really lovely to hear. First, at the end of last week, I had sent my boss (on her last day) a "goodbye" message, just wishing her well and thanking her for her time with us, etc. She wrote back appreciatively,… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
My Don't Sweat the Small Stuff desk calendar taught a good lesson this week, spread out over the last few days. Thought I'd share it here for your benefit, too. 🙂 It said (in summary): To become a less reactive, happier person, remember the three R's: 1- Responsive Act appropriately to the actual issue at… Continue reading “The Three R’s” lesson + misc. life
Happy Monday! My desk calendar also informs me that today is the "Queen's Birthday" celebration holiday in Western Australia, so, happy birthday to the Queen, if you happen to live in Western Australia. 🙂 How was your weekend? Mine was good. I do find that despite "looking forward" to the weekend/ no work/ etc... sometimes… Continue reading Non-fall fun weekend 🙂
I haven't done one of these in a long time! Feeling it today, though. 🙂 1- It is fall. Being the fall loving person that I am, I know it's odd I haven't addressed this fact yet on the blog. We are actually having a snap of cooler (but in a lovely, beautiful way, not… Continue reading Friday 5: fall books, XC, meals, WFH & workouts!
GRATEFUL KAE
