Last night felt like a busy, but fun, start to the weekend. Asher had received an invite to play laser tag right after school at a local bowling alley with the 5 other boys in his school cohort (same boys that are together all day, every day- plus masked). He was really happy to get… Continue reading A fun start to the weekend
Yesterday I received a package from Eddie Bauer containing the brand new travel bag I ordered! It's the exact same one I have had for years now, just a nice, clean, updated one. I have to share about this bag because it is AMAZING. It's one of the few products I own that I'm so,… Continue reading My all time favorite travel item
Happy Thursday! Nothing overly exciting to report around here today. Work project- Yesterday I started working on a little side project at work (not exactly a normal, actual work related project, but more of an organizational project that will benefit the department long term). It's right up my alley and I found myself getting lost… Continue reading Thursday Misc: work, email, Chipotle…
One of my favorite things about working from home is, of course, the FLEXIBILITY. We badly needed groceries for a few days, but with soccer all weekend, it just never happened. (In large part just because no one actually wanted to go get groceries.) Come Monday night, when I thought I would run over to… Continue reading The joy of a midweek, morning grocery run
Spring + The Happiness Equation At least the flowers in my yard got the memo that it's spring, because the weather seems to have forgotten this week. My current local temp is 30 degrees, with a high of 43 today. The rest of the week looks marginally better in the low 50's (but that means… Continue reading The weather/happiness equation and negativity sells??
Today is the 109th day of 2021. I saw somewhere or heard on a podcast I think last week that it was the 100th day of the year (would have been on Saturday, April 10th), and that kind of stopped me in my tracks for a sec. I remember thinking when I heard that, Wow!… Continue reading Day #109
It's been a nice last few days. Some sunny weather, got my 2nd dose of vaccine (no side effects with either, except maybe a tiny headache last night?), some much needed cleaning, soccer games, outside time, Mexican food.... Here's a little recap: *A lunchtime walk on Friday. I did a short 27 minute core workout… Continue reading Last couple days in pics
I took this screenshot online yesterday from someone summarizing a passage from Nir Eyal's Indistractible (a book I read last year and that I thought had many good tips on decreasing distraction). I remember thinking when I read it that what's in the screenshot was one of my favorite take-aways. It's not that we "can't"… Continue reading Questioning yourself + avoiding distraction
Hooray, hooray, today's the day! After 3 carefully spaced out, negative COVID tests, we are done with quarantine! The boys have been CLEARED to return to school and activities today!! I am grateful to both the clinic staff and school staff for helping us navigate the current and somewhat confusing post-exposure quarantine guidelines. I am… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday- Quarantine Edition
Quarantining = eating all meals at home, obviously...and besides one pizza last weekend, we haven't ordered out at all, either. As I said though yesterday, my work hours have been a little wacky. I haven't really felt like I have had an abundance of free time, probably due to working until later in the day.… Continue reading Meals + leisure
GRATEFUL KAE
