Dang it, totally forgot to post yesterday! I ruined my NaBloPoMo streak. Oh well… I spent 2.5 hours Sunday morning cleaning out my email which had somehow ballooned to a total of 1,100 emails. Ugh. My personal email has been more and more of a problem lately. I don’t really like deleting things on my… Continue reading Forgot about yesterday…plus some quick thoughts on email and sleep
*Don't worry, this isn't a body image post.* But I'm currently feeling so frustrated with my body! I just feel like I'm way too young to suddenly have all these physical ailments, especially when I'm a supposedly "healthy" person who exercises and is active and does all the right things. (Could my diet probably be… Continue reading Frustrations with my body
My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
As you know, Ethan's done with school, and Asher is off today and Monday for the long Memorial Day weekend. Ivan and I both work today, but have Monday off. YAY!!! We, quite gloriously, have no big plans, though I always like to use this "bonus holiday" weekend for part "getting things done" and part… Continue reading Upcoming long weekend, travel planning and Whole 30 Day 4
Ethan is DONE!! He had his last 2 finals yesterday and was home by 1 pm. Here's his 1st Day vs Last Day pic! (I didn't catch him before school for a pic, and when he got home, he put on PJ pants and settled in to video game for a while... lol. I made… Continue reading School’s out (!) and Whole 30 Day 3
I don't want this "Whole 30" thing to take over my blog for the next couple weeks, as I realize there may be varying levels of interest! I also know that talk of diets + restricting in any way could be triggering for some people. But, I also think some people might be interested! And… Continue reading Whole 30 Update: Days 1-2
First off, I realized I never shared the boys' Mother's Day cards. They were very sweet, and also very different, which actually made me smile, because the boys are different, of course! Asher, who is naturally artistic but sadly is not currently doing anything to continue fostering this (he used to do a ton of… Continue reading Things we’ve been up to/ Misc. Updates
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
This weekend, I was looking at some Apple watch data with my dad, who just got his first ever Apple watch (series 7), since his old Fitbit finally bit the dust. He specifically was interested in some of the more sophisticated Health trackers that Apple has. As we were exploring the "Browse" category in the… Continue reading Some random health data from my Apple watch
Hey! Sorry to disappear. We went to my parents' house for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) for the 4th last week, and then the "extended family interpersonal situation" I mentioned recently escalated some over the weekend and has had my brain on the fritz. Since I'm the one who is home during the day (obviously working, but… Continue reading Steps woes and other updates
GRATEFUL KAE
