The week is chugging along in an odd way, but since time doesn't stop for anything, here we are at Thursday. 🙂 Without disclosing more than I care to in this space, I will speak for myself only and say that I currently feel great (physically). However, a COVID+ contact has been struggling with some… Continue reading Good among the not-so-good
Well, here we go. Life has served up a perfect opportunity to practice the "power of positive thinking", "reframing negatives", finding the good in crappy situations and all of the stuff I have been working on over the past few years. 🙂 We have embarked on a full blown quarantine around here, after having very… Continue reading An opportunity to practice positivity
FRIDAY- Day 3 GRACELAND We had 9:45 a.m. tour tickets for Graceland on Friday, so we got up and just had breakfast at our condo and got ready to go. Graceland was only about a 10-12 minute drive from the condo, so it was very quick and easy to get to! We paid the parking… Continue reading Day 3 Memphis Recap! Graceland and more.

Wednesday (Day 1): Left home after work (late afternoon) and drove ~5 hours! We all rode together in our van (my parents came along on the trip, too) and a major highlight of this first evening was listening to Elvis music and other 50s-60s music on the ride down! I played DJ from the front… Continue reading Memphis Trip Recap – Days 1 and 2!

Maybe a coding class or day camp or something Asher-*overnight swim camp with best swim friend… Continue reading Disappointment and (semi)resolution
Walking home On Monday I took a break to walk to meet the boys after school. They generally ride the bus home, but the stop is quite a ways from our house. I used to always meet them (or more often in cold weather, drive to pick them up), but now they are old enough… Continue reading Walking, talking and reading
We're back! Actually, we got back on Sunday evening, but I was too exhausted yesterday morning to get up early. It was the best little trip!!! It's not too often really that we take these "long weekend-type" trips. I guess when I plan travel for our family, I typically think of the full, week long+… Continue reading Back from Memphis
Hi!! Jumping on for two seconds to say...see ya next week! We have packed our blue suede shoes and are ready for a little less conversation, a lot more action. 😊 (So dorky. I'm sorry. Couldn't resist.) We are off to Memphis in a couple hours (driving part way tonight and will get there by… Continue reading It’s Now or Never
Hello. Didn't really feel like writing today, because I don't actually feel like doing anything right now. I am all discombobulated at the moment. 🙂 But, sometimes even a few minutes of writing something down can help, and I know deep down that I thrive best on routines...and writing has become part of my morning… Continue reading Discombobulated
