As is often the case with me and my blog, I have two very random things on my mind this morning. (This is precisely why I don't do "themed" posts or plan what I'll write about in advance. These extremely insightful posts I write.... they just have to come to me, like a lightning bolt… Continue reading Appointment overload + a gratitude spotlight
On Sunday I sat in the bleachers right behind the player's bench at Asher's soccer game. I spent much of the game observing his coach as he interacted with the boys. This was not Asher's real coach, but rather a sub, or fill in coach. It's a long story, but the real coach for Asher's… Continue reading If you see something, say something
It's officially fall today! The weather is taking a sudden dive precisely on the Autumn Equinox here today- it was 85 on Monday, and here is the current temp and forecast: Probably going to feel a bit shocking! But 'tis the season. We are also moving officially into what I consider "the holiday season". It… Continue reading Officially fall (aka “gratitude season”)
Yep, I had a crap day yesterday. Started off with an hour long cluster where I realized I had made a mistake on something that was going to end up ultimately costing me hundreds of dollars. gahhhh..... Around the same time, I got a message from our new employee cheerfully greeting me and wondering what… Continue reading I had a bad day
I had a rather stressful day yesterday. No need to elaborate, but it was just mentally taxing for me, and I have a lingering dull headache right now as a result. There were some good things, though. 1- The weather was spectacular. It cooled down and the sky was a brilliant blue all day. 2-… Continue reading On to a new day
The end of this week has felt overwhelming to me. Despite our heat wave, which has been a welcome change, and has made everything feel nice, bright and very "summery". But I don't know, I just feel...overwhelmed. My brain dump list from last week has remained untouched, except I've thought of a bunch of things… Continue reading Some complaints + gratitude 🙂

I have had a free Penzu account for years now, though my… Continue reading An online journaling tip
Part A: Why does it always seem to take 3 hours to clean up from dinner? Seriously, is this just me? It doesn't matter what we have, it seems like it always takes forever to fully clean up the kitchen!! And I do generally recruit help- it's not like everyone just ditches me. (Though, I'll… Continue reading A burning dinner question + 2 gratitude quotes
When was the last time you were overcome with joy? “Overcome with joy” sounds like a tall order… I envision that meaning an exceptionally full, emotional experience of something being just SO SO SO amazing!! And while I have many really “great” moments in day to day life, I’m not sure I’m officially “overcome with… Continue reading Gratitude Challenge Day 13
I still haven't had time to finalize my 22 for 2022 list, which I started on New Year's Eve. In a way I'm okay with it, because I feel like I'm sort of having a dry run/ trial week this week. I've been floating some of the ideas in my head, but not feeling any… Continue reading Vegetables
