I listed as a "fun goal" for May to walk to the new(ish) coffee shop by my house on a nice day and work there for a while. It's literally a <10 minute walk! Well, today was the day. My mom wanted to go for a walk and I had about 1 hour 15 minutes… Continue reading A May fun goal ✅
I'm a bit preoccupied this week because my mom is here! She got here last night. First though, I had a fun work lunch out yesterday at Forage Kitchen with my boss + our whole RN team (so in my department, that's me + 4 other nurses + my boss, who is also a nurse).… Continue reading Mom visit + a big disappointment
One of my goals for 2026 was to go to church a bit more often. I think my official goal was 26x in 2026 (average twice a month). As one does, I started out the year pretty strong with several church visits in the first month or so. Then, as one also does, I petered… Continue reading I made a new friend/ divine intervention? 🙂
Darn it, broke my blogging streak yesterday. I have no excuse besides that I was just doing other things and kept saying "I'll do it later". But then later kept getting later and then we ended up watching a movie last night - Remarkably Bright Creatures!!, on Netflix- and, well, clearly, I never posted. I… Continue reading Oops, okay, this time I did forget to post
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 😉
