5 Downs: 1- The overwhelm feeling I complained about several weeks ago has not lifted. If anything, it might be worse. argh. I don't have a great plan in place to combat this, at the moment. Maybe later today I will sit and try to corral all the to-dos from my head/ paper into one… Continue reading 5 downs/ 5 ups
1- January 6th is Dia de los Reyes Magos in Mexico, or Three Kings Day. Aka, the Epiphany. There are a bunch of traditions that go along with this. Sadly, we (or Ivan, since this one is his domain, really) haven't really practiced these much over the years. In Mexico, the "three wise men" deliver… Continue reading Friday 5 (editing- Friday 3)
Good morning! Short on time today, but here's a quick Friday 5 of misc. stuff in my life: 1- I stayed up too late watching the Packer game last night, but it was WORTH IT, with a crazy ending and a win over the Cardinals of 24-21. Being the good empath that I am, my… Continue reading Friday 5
In no particular order, a random list on a Friday of happenings. I feel a little...tired. Not really sleepy tired, just kind of "end-of-the-week" tired, maybe? Like, I'm not in the mood to try to come up with exactly 5 things to do a cute Friday 5 post. 😉 1- Ethan is scheduled for the… Continue reading Friday List

For me, I have a huge list of want-to-read books, so using the holds option has been decent enough. But they love to… Continue reading Friday 5
Today's Friday 5: Favorite quotes of the week! 1- "If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it". LOVE this one. I've been on kind of a private mission to do this as often as I can for a few years now. It feels a little funny at first, but it's such a win-win. The… Continue reading Friday 5: Inspiration
Hey, Friday... welcome. 🙂 This week was kinda "meh" for me. Fine- nothing wrong, really, but my typical schedule was thrown off in one way or another most days + the frigid weather = literally trapped inside (i.e. no walks even! 😦 ). I've just felt a little tired/lazy/unmotivated on the whole and would give… Continue reading Friday 5- my week’s rating + quotes
1- Virtual Book Club! The Transplant department where I work has started a virtual book club, which will meet by Webex once a month on Monday evenings. I have never been in a book club, in part because the idea of potentially having to host a bunch of semi-strangers makes me anxious. 🙂 But this… Continue reading Friday 5
5 things I'm loving at the moment: 1. WEEKLY REVIEW: I am in love with my relatively new "weekly review" process on Fridays. (See post here for more details.) I actually find myself looking forward to it. Knowing that I have time blocked off to just deal with many loose ends + time to proactively… Continue reading Friday 5: Loving
GRATEFUL KAE
