9:30 p.m. still counts! 🙂 I just sat down for the first time since I finished working at 5:30. I had a very thrilling Friday night around here. Ivan is away tonight with a friend, Ethan is away overnight for tennis, and Asher had golf, then work. He should be home soon. I decided to… Continue reading I didn’t forget to post 🙂
Just read SHU's post about her May goals, so, I will be a copycat and share mine! 😁 THIS IS A RIDICULOUS LIST, fyi. My "goals" always start morphing into a huge task list. lol. I am generally okay with this? As I work through my monthly planning doc, it tends to generate lots of… Continue reading May 2026 Goals
Currently sitting in my car waiting for Ethan’s 4:15 tennis match to start: I ducked out of work early to get here. Tennis matches are tough! They always start at 4:15 and seems so many are “away” (and FAR away). This one is a “home” match but the courts are still almost 30 minutes away… Continue reading Tuesday
In the spirit of (trying) to keep my posts shorter, I'm going to do a slightly less thorough April recap. (*everyone cheers*) The month kicked off with the first ~5 days spent in the Virgin Islands. We returned late Sunday April 5th, then dove into a new workweek. I struggled to get my footing a… Continue reading A sort-of abbreviated April 2026 Monthly Recap
Eek, guess what?! Last night I impulsively bought a ticket to see Garth Brooks at Summerfest (aka "The World's Largest Music Festival) in Milwaukee on June 16! BY MYSELF! haha. I am a huge 90s country fan and I love love love Garth Brooks' music. I listened to it so much in high school. Unfortunately,… Continue reading On friends (in low places)
From a tree in my backyard... in a beer glass. 😅 I think after my lengthy blogging streak on vacation, plus some long "recappy" posts when we returned, I maybe hit a blogging saturation point, or something. Sorry for the radio silence all week! I guess I felt like I didn't have anything too significant… Continue reading Happy May! + MayBloPoMo 😉
I didn't get a ton of feedback either way, but from what I did, a few people seemed interested, so, here's a couple more days. 🙂 Thursday CATEGORYTIME SPENTACTIVITIES?

I have "tracked my time" intermittently for a couple years now, but more in the journalistic way. I have my little spreadsheet and jot things down, but I have never worried about exactness or tallying it up or anything. For some reason, maybe inspired by the recent BOBW episode and the suggestion to try time… Continue reading 2 days of time tracking results
I feel like this last ~week or so has been fun! Backing up to last Thursday- I already talked about my nursing symposium presentation + fun "little adventure" out for happy hour with Ivan. Friday was stormy and low key and we had tornado warnings. Side note: I haven't mentioned here yet, but we had… Continue reading A fun stretch!
Looking back, March was an abrupt pivot from all things SWIMMING (February) to a big spring break focus- with several miscellaneous events/ activities, first. I think the general vibe in the beginning was some relief to be released from the craziness of swim season. The month ended on a mega-high: our epic spring break trip!!… Continue reading March 2026 Recap
GRATEFUL KAE
