My Monday: Yesterday was a rare day in that I didn't have any scheduled meetings. That is THE BEST. My old job actually rarely had meetings (was very solo work oriented, back then), and I didn't realize how much I took that for granted. It was a peaceful day and I was able to catch… Continue reading Monday- tired but good + medical mystery
Brrrr, fall is HERE in Wisconsin!! My weather app said it was 47 degrees out this morning! 😳 I cannot fully decide what I think about this. On the one hand, many Septembers we still get very hot weather in Wisconsin, and I don't always love that either, because it doesn't feel like "fall" then.… Continue reading Fall is here, back to school part 2, money tracking, etc.
Hi friends! Sorry about the unintentional week-long blog break. I was not away on a mysterious adventure, but really just here at home, staying busy with regular life! I love blogging and reading blogs, but sometimes Real Life > Blog Life. 🙂 Also, a big part of what kicked off the blog break was this:… Continue reading Blog break catch up
I think our lack of a buffer day after our Florida trip kind of snowballed and caught up with me a bit this weekend. As I mentioned, we got home last Sunday night and then dove right back into everything on Monday. While yes, I technically unpacked immediately, there were still things lingering around all… Continue reading A little snowball
Re-Entry: We got home Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. before a full work week, which is obviously the IDEAL way to transition back from vacation to regular life. Ha. We have had a couple trips lately where we actually had an appropriate transition time factored in, and I will say, it was very nice. BUT,… Continue reading Decent re-entry, back to school grey zone, car + dog updates, etc.
I haven't really been in the mood to blog this week! Which is weird, and I'm not sure why. All is well- just maybe needed a little break, I guess. 🙂 I have been pretty busy with a work project that I NEED to have wrapped up before we leave for Florida in just over… Continue reading Quick updates
1. Writing off a day --> turning it around On Wednesday I had a crummy day. I was just in a "mood", everything was sort of annoying me, I felt unfocused and distracted and irritated with life. Fortunately I do not have these sorts of days too often, but I suppose they happen to all… Continue reading Friday 5: summer misc.
As we anticipated, they deemed Ethan's car a "total loss", unfortunately. We are currently sorting out what this means for us. Option 1 of course would be to take the money and buy a different car. Option 2 is to get the car back, take a little bit less money on the payout, and pay… Continue reading Car update
I don't know if this is a "I'm getting older" thing, but I just keep thinking how bizarre time is. It can simultaneously feel so slow and yet, soooooo fast. Today is Ethan's last day of school, technically, because he is missing school tomorrow (AGAIN) for Conference tennis and then next week is finals (so… Continue reading Time is so weird
My mom was in town this past week! So, I've been a little quiet in the blogosphere and just doing other things! It was so nice to have her here. She comes like this, alone, now and then and while of course I love to have both of my parents here, it's just a little… Continue reading Tuesday misc.
GRATEFUL KAE
