I’ve been feeling a teeny bit twitchy lately because this “extroverted introvert” has been camped pretty solidly on the “slightly too much togetherness time” side of the aisle for weeks now. NOT actually complaining, because obviously on our wonderful vacation, there was naturally a lot of togetherness time! And that’s a great thing. It’s just… Continue reading Lately
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
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
I have "tracked my time" intermittently for a couple years now, but more in the journalistic way. I have my little spreadsheet and jot things down, but I have never worried about exactness or tallying it up or anything. For some reason, maybe inspired by the recent BOBW episode and the suggestion to try time… Continue reading 2 days of time tracking results
I feel like this last ~week or so has been fun! Backing up to last Thursday- I already talked about my nursing symposium presentation + fun "little adventure" out for happy hour with Ivan. Friday was stormy and low key and we had tornado warnings. Side note: I haven't mentioned here yet, but we had… Continue reading A fun stretch!
Looking back, March was an abrupt pivot from all things SWIMMING (February) to a big spring break focus- with several miscellaneous events/ activities, first. I think the general vibe in the beginning was some relief to be released from the craziness of swim season. The month ended on a mega-high: our epic spring break trip!!… Continue reading March 2026 Recap
Ahh, it feels SO NICE to have a mid-week departure planned, on the heels of a wide open weekend. This has most definitely not always been the case lately. On recent trips we've had multiple Friday night departures, which means working all week AND trying to get ready for trip... This Wednesday departure was planned… Continue reading Weekend: pre-spring break
I knew it was coming! I even called it.... the inevitable downswing after my semi-manic January where I felt SUPER energized and had oodles of new-year energy. I typically have a stretch of a few weeks in January where school + sports are just ramping back up and there's enough margin for me to magically… Continue reading I knew the downswing was coming
I have an extra skip in my step this weekend because the weather forecast is SO GOOD!!!!! As often has been happening to me on the weekends lately, I feel a little paralyzed, though. I technically have a lot of open space this weekend! But I have no real plans, yet, and can't quite decide… Continue reading Happy weekend!
So a couple weeks ago, Elisabeth did a Day in the Life post (always favorite posts in the blogosphere because deep down, we’re all just nosy 🤣). Sarah had texted me, “We should do some D.I.T.L.s too!!” to which I replied, “We should!”, except then she started to do them and I did not. Ha.… Continue reading My first ever Day in the Life post!
GRATEFUL KAE
