Decluttering success I've (finally) made some decent recent progress in some house decluttering projects, after feeling very stalled out for a while there. Last fall I made a Google Keep label called "House - TO DO LIST", and then made a separate note for each area of our house. I literally went to each room… Continue reading Forward progress, slowly
We have been having some AMAZING weather this week. Warm- like mid 50s I think yesterday?!- and sunny. Asher asked if "spring was here" now. Oh. Um, no. I'd love to say yes, but I've lived here long enough to know not to be fooled by Mother Nature's trickery. It will snow again. I actually… Continue reading Thursday misc., running update
Just popping in to say Happy Saturday! Hope you're all having a nice start to the weekend. The big event around here is Asher's Regional swim meet. He's swimming both today and tomorrow, and our team is co-hosting, so I have to volunteer. FORTUNATELY, I am no longer the team's Volunteer Coordinator, so this weekend… Continue reading Happy Saturday
I'm happy to report that my bad week has generally settled down. Things have still felt just a little crazy, but at least Charlie is finally doing better!! Charlie Update: So, I had mentioned he had chewed up a lamp cord last week, followed by a week of nighttime wakings with loose stools. (I did… Continue reading Sunday updates
Argh, today is not my day! This is not feeling like my week! I keep feeling "squished" (ie pressure, issues, things I have to do) from all sides and I'm annoyed. Sleep (p.s. sorry if this part is Too Much Information): A large portion of the problem is lack of sleep, I think. Charlie seemed… Continue reading Stop squishing me
A little shopping + minimalism fail: Saturday my mom and I ran some errands; I had to deal with a couple of returns, stopped at a couple of stores, and got my van washed! I also ran across these cute Adidas hats: I really like wearing hats- especially when we travel, but also sometimes to… Continue reading Recent happenings, etc.
Whew, February already! 1 month in to the new year. (Everyone always says January feels so long, but it just felt... average, I think, to me. Possibly because we were out of town until January 6th?) I love the rapid-fire style recaps I've seen this week (Coco and Sarah) and have done these myself in… Continue reading January 2024 Recap
I woke up this morning with many things rolling around in my head that I wanted to do. I've actually struggled with this in general lately on the weekends- lots of random things to do, but none of them necessarily time sensitive, exactly, or urgent. So, on some "free" weekends like this one (i.e. not… Continue reading A Numerical List Style Saturday
1. Daily Stoic I saved a little snip in Google Keep (my Second Brain... 😉 ) the other day from the Daily Stoic newsletter. It was titled "It's Cheap To Be Dead". The gist was that some people take penny pinching, frugality, "investing for the future" and "saving for retirement" to the extreme. And for… Continue reading Friday 5!
Sorry for the radio silence over here... not sure where the last ~5 days went! My parents came to town Friday night (and are actually still here as we speak). We hadn't seen them since early December, which, as any faithful readers know, is a LONG time for me to go without seeing my parents.… Continue reading A belated 2023 Christmas celebration…finally feels like the new year
GRATEFUL KAE
