A pretty red winged blackbird on my walk yesterday morning 🙂 The last few weeks, I have noticed that my "toughest" days of the week are Tuesday and Wednesday. Probably not surprising, I guess- I feel like this might be the case for other people, too. Mondays I tend to feel fresh, ready to get… Continue reading Days of the week
I've been having this ongoing worry for a while now. Not something I sit and perseverate on or anything, but just something I think about, worry about for a little bit, then forget about for a while, and then it comes back. Last night Asher reminded me of it, so it's back in my mind… Continue reading An intermittent but persistent worry
Oh dear lord. This is my current state: A little dazed, confused, tired and, kind of physically sore- as if I actually did some very strenuous physical activity this weekend (but I didn't). WHAT A WEEKEND. This was probably definitely the "busiest feeling" weekend since like, early 2020 at least, if not before. I swore… Continue reading A welcome workweek
Ivan's mom (my suegra, or mother-in-law) is leaving to go back to Mexico on Sunday, after spending over 2 months here in the U.S.! We picked her up from my sister-in-law's last night and took her out for pizza at a really nice local restaurant. I sent this picture to Ivan at work and said,… Continue reading La suegra is heading home 😦
Yesterday we experienced another milestone in our family. It was Ethan's turn to get vaccinated, since he is 12. I had scheduled the appointment for 12:40 over his lunch hour, with the promise that I would take him to lunch quick before the appointment. We really didn't have much time, and I also had a… Continue reading Another milestone
Oh what a beautiful morning...Oh what a beautiful day.I've got a wonderful feeeeeel-ing..Everything's going my way. Good morning. It feels like a beautiful morning to me, and this song keeps popping into my head. The sun is shining, it's a relatively warm 55 degrees (with a high of 75), and you know who is REALLY… Continue reading Oh, what a beautiful morning
Photo by Asher from this weekend I spent probably ~35 minutes last night doing a modified version of my weekly review. Namely, updating my planner and entering events into Google Calendar (so they will show up on the Family Calendar on the fridge). I had gotten a little behind on this and had a bunch… Continue reading No such thing as normal
I slept like total garbage last night. Sort of. I slept really great from 10 pm until 2 am, and then woke up. After laying there awake until ~4:20, I finally got up. In case you are wondering what time the birds wake up in my area (and start chirping), it is precisely 4:02 a.m.… Continue reading This and that
I have been wanting to share this for a few days now. It's something I got in an email last week and it really made an impact on me! It made me pause and think for a few minutes about what life is all about, and what the end goal really is. Apparently, this is… Continue reading What really matters in life?
Oh man, I feel a bit exhausted! Not exactly the feeling I strive to have at 6 am on a Monday morning, but I guess it's a good exhaustion. The weekend felt BUSY. As in, pre-pandemic busy feel! I have mixed feelings on this, but I don't exactly see a way around it, either. A… Continue reading Weekend whirlwind
