My mom brought me a box of my old cello music last weekend, to see if there was anything in there I wanted to keep. It was a little trip down memory lane, seeing pieces I had played with my string quartet in high school, or songs I played for competitions. 🙂 Anyway, there were… Continue reading Flashback to 1996 planning style, and a personal question
Coco asked me yesterday how I kept track of everything for the "weekly audit" review I posted. In reality, I don't normally keep track of my week exactly according to those categories. Yesterday morning I sat down in a special attempt to do a weekly audit, and brainstormed those 7 categories as general areas of… Continue reading More on weekly audit + ?? TRAVEL and other misc.
I was listening to a short Before Breakfast episode this morning while I put my contact lenses in, and Laura mentioned the idea of doing a brief review of your previous week on Monday mornings, to reflect on what went well and what didn't the week before. Since I keep my little daily journal tracking… Continue reading An audit of the week
I'm kind of excited that my birthday falls on a weekend this year!! I'm feeling the whole "birthday weekend" idea. Normally I don't really care a whole lot about my birthday...I am not someone who takes the whole week off work, books a bunch of special things to do, etc. But I do love the… Continue reading 7 am vs 7 pm, birthday weekend, return to gym?
I think because it's been so warm, I'm having a hard time believing that it's already October 13th today. But it is! We haven't done too much yet in the way of "fall fun". I'm thinking this probably isn't going to be the year that we do "all the things" for fall. With the various… Continue reading Some fall fun
Hello hello! I didn't really intend to stop blogging for ~5 days, but I guess I did. Main reasons include: -Ivan is still in Mexico (gets home late tonight), so things have just been a little busier for me. -My parents came for the weekend (since I couldn't be in multiple places at once with… Continue reading I’m such a sucker! Back to volunteering….
I haven't written much about covid lately. Back when the blog was new (and the pandemic was new), I feel like I wrote about it all the time. I am just so over it, I can barely stand to talk about it, much less write about it. I am just so tired of covid. I… Continue reading I’m tired of covid
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!
Positive Comments! Within the past week, I received two heartfelt, positive comments that were just really lovely to hear. First, at the end of last week, I had sent my boss (on her last day) a "goodbye" message, just wishing her well and thanking her for her time with us, etc. She wrote back appreciatively,… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday
Happy Monday! My desk calendar also informs me that today is the "Queen's Birthday" celebration holiday in Western Australia, so, happy birthday to the Queen, if you happen to live in Western Australia. 🙂 How was your weekend? Mine was good. I do find that despite "looking forward" to the weekend/ no work/ etc... sometimes… Continue reading Non-fall fun weekend 🙂
GRATEFUL KAE
