Darn it...despite my best intentions to keep blogging briefly and frequently after NaBloPoMo ended, I guess I really didn't. Today is Thursday, December 7th, and it looks like I've only posted 2x since the 1st. Work has been really busy this week. Lots of meetings, a project, and a last minute/ time sensitive "ask" that… Continue reading The past week, (mostly) photo edition
Real quick clarification: Last night I posted VERY quickly and rather late from my phone, and I wrote: "At a wedding tonight for a friend of Ivan's son!" My sister in Ireland, who read my blog post with her morning coffee probably while all my U.S. readers were still sleeping, texted me that I had… Continue reading A possibly confusing typo + correction
So far this week, my sleep schedule has looked like: Monday night: Bed 11:00 Woke up ~4:15 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep. Argh. Total= 5 hours, 15 minutes Tuesday night: Wanted to go to bed early, but somehow ended up being awake until 11:15 p.m. (!!) Still not sure exactly what happened. Kids… Continue reading Broken sleep
🔷 A 50 foot dog leash We have a fenced in yard, but our backyard also has a lot of landscaping beds and other places Charlie can get into mischief. He is also definitely still working on recall (i.e. coming to us when called) and currently has very selective hearing. 😆 Letting him off leash… Continue reading A few good recent purchases!
Sneaking this in at the last hour! Can't miss a day in NaBloPoMo. I just got home from the gym about 20 minutes ago. It's currently 8:59 p.m. Inspired by Kelsey on the recent Girl Next Door podcast, I have been really trying to get a little creative with my workout schedule. On their great… Continue reading Late night post
These last few weeks we've been trying to weed out some of the boys' old things. Specifically, jackets. We have a rather large stockpile of very nice but now too small coats and jackets that have been accumulating in our basement closet. Some are dressier styles, some are fleeces, some are 3-in-1 winter jackets, etc.… Continue reading Selling stuff and a nice message
I just wrote a whole post blabbing on about feeling discombobulated today and some things that weren't working and what the potential causes were. And then I deleted the whole post. I don't know, it was annoying me to even read about it. So if I don't want to read about it, why would you?… Continue reading Monday struggles… deleted post
Happy belated Halloween. Hope you all had a fun and spooky day! 🎃 We got our first snowfall yesterday morning. Here is Charlie licking it to find out what the heck this cold wet stuff is: And now, on to November! Wow. There is a big part of me that keeps thinking it is like,… Continue reading November!
You all know I am a fan of silly memes and basically anything that gets a laugh or smile out of me, randomly. I've accumulated a couple fun ones lately: #1: Made me laugh hysterically. I saw this one right after our especially busy summer, with multiple houseguests from all sides of the family. Our… Continue reading Fall and Friday Funnies
How is it Thursday already?! I feel like this week is flying by. As promised, I'm just checking in to see if my week has, indeed, resembled any semblance of normal, or not. I'd say.... sort of. Ha. Wins: 🔷 I have worked out 3 times!! Monday - shoulders/tris at the gym. Tuesday - 30… Continue reading As promised, checking in
GRATEFUL KAE
