My concentration has been CRAP the last couple of weeks. I thought last week was just an outlier week, since my head was wrapped up in figuring out the garage stuff. But we got some of that resolved (at least some decisions made, I think, and even a lot of actual progress in putting things… Continue reading Frustration with focus
Good morning! Bonus pic above unrelated to rest of post: from my walk yesterday morning. This whole past week has involved a lot of carrying stuff from one place and putting it in another. It was a week ago already that we had the new carpet installed in the bedrooms, but I finally feel now… Continue reading New bedrooms- sneak peek
Starting with positive news: We got new carpet installed yesterday!!! (in our 3 main level bedrooms) Now for the negative news: We got new carpet installed yesterday!!! Just kidding. It is good news, and I'm very happy, and grateful. The carpet looks (and feels) great. But omg, I'm exhausted right now. Prep + Clutter..... Tuesday… Continue reading The clutter is killing me…
Our world has been extra full lately with some misc. home improvement projects going on. Here's a little sampling: Garage: I've mentioned an ongoing garage project, which involved having it fully drywalled and new electric/lights installed. It's a long story, but a fairly straightforward project ended up turning into somewhat of a disaster. I'm very… Continue reading Little life update/ home improvements
I have a busy day today. Usually my Fridays tend to be "lighter" in everything (both personal and work related). But today is full of a bunch of randomness! Just glanced over my schedule: 07:00-08:15 "Pastries on the Playground" at school (donuts and coffee/milk outside before school) 08:30 Lady showing up to pick up Ethan's… Continue reading Busy Friday!
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
The kids have been home fulltime again for over 4 weeks now. (They went virtual Monday of Thanksgiving week.) I am feeling READY for them to go back to school. With the colder weather and no sports happening AND now no school (winter break) to keep them occupied, I am just feeling like there is… Continue reading Pick. Up. Your. Stuff.
Let me preface this post (and series) by saying that I am certainly no productivity "expert". But, it is a topic I have been very interested in for the past ~5 years or so, so I've learned quite a bit about it. My personal systems are generally still a work in progress and have been… Continue reading Productivity Series #1: Planner/ Calendar system
How was your week? T- 1 week already until Halloween! Then it always feels like a downhill slide into Thanksgiving and Christmas from there, though I guess everything will look and feel different this year. I had a good week! It was a nice mix of productive and relaxing. Holiday Dreaming On Thursday afternoon Asher… Continue reading Weekly Wrap-up
