It feels good to be home. I already told you how I launched myself right from vacation -> back into work mode. Ivan and I both felt pretty sleep deprived for a few days due to the red eye flight, obviously, but also I'm sure just the time change (2 hours earlier on Vegas time)… Continue reading Some good things + resuming a skincare routine….
A quick check-in to say howdy and share a few miscellany: Today's the day, Garth Brooks concert day! I'm excited! I can't remember if I mentioned here that although I bought my ticket to go alone, it turns out a volleyball friend and her mom also had tickets for tonight. So I'm catching a ride… Continue reading Tuesday misc. and GARTH DAY!
May was the least "Mayhem" May I think we've had in years. I guess we are officially past some of that. Or, it's a lull until the next two years when I'll have seniors and I think there's more of a flurry again as senior year wraps up. Never fear, there was still plenty of… Continue reading May 2026 Recap
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 ✅
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 🙂
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?

Yesterday was a rather different day for me, in multiple ways. My "usual" Thursday involves: going to the gym early, working from home all day, and then eating up leftovers from the week or cooking at home. I've been playing volleyball on Wednesday nights, and we tend to go out on Friday nights, so I… Continue reading An atypical Thursday!
Given our abrupt re-entry post-vacay, I was Very Happy to not have many major plans this weekend. Ethan did have an overnight tennis tournament, but we didn't go. They played Friday during the school day (why? I really don't know) and then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Hopefully we'll catch some other closer matches soon!… Continue reading The weekend, misc.
Getting home at midnight on a Sunday night and working Monday = NOT IDEAL, but I'm happy to report this week has been fine. Work has been pretty constant but not terrible. No one has grocery shopped yet, but we've survived on some pantry staples, frozen meat, etc. Ethan had an entire frozen pizza by… Continue reading Re-entry week: (lack of) groceries, a kid brag, diet update
GRATEFUL KAE
