OOF I am BACK. Back in “normal blog voice”, no longer writing in “travel mode”. 😊 Re-emerging into regular life has been…fine. Considering our flight got in around 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday night, and we both had to work on Wednesday. 😂 (I know, I know, I know…we are gluttons for punishment. We do it… Continue reading Post-Vacation mode: Bad, Good, Neutral
A couple weeks ago, my work computer got some sort of upgrade. After that, every time I opened a new window in our web browser (Microsoft Edge), it brought up this "home screen" of sorts from Microsoft. (It used to bring up some sort of hospital menu page? I don't know why this changed.) Anyway,… Continue reading Change the “bad news” default!
I'm happy to see the sun again this morning! (View from my sunroom window. This pic sort of makes it look like we live in a jungle treehouse, which is definitely not the case. 🤣 This is just a close-up of our magnolia tree. Trying to capture the rising sun without capturing all the rain… Continue reading Thursday misc.
Hey blog world. This has not been my "most favoritest week" ever (I know that's grammatically incorrect, I just felt like saying it that way). All's good, just feeling edgy and kinda stressed out, but, c'est la vie. Some times are like that. The kids are staying up TOO LATE (has been pushing 10:30 the… Continue reading Random check in
I had a rather stressful day yesterday. No need to elaborate, but it was just mentally taxing for me, and I have a lingering dull headache right now as a result. There were some good things, though. 1- The weather was spectacular. It cooled down and the sky was a brilliant blue all day. 2-… Continue reading On to a new day
*Walking. I've walked M, T and Th this week so far. Weather was crummy early in the week/ cold, so I used the treadmill. Yesterday, we had a beautiful, warm day, so I got outside for 20 minutes before starting work. *Stretching and workouts. My workout on the schedule was a simple one- a recovery… Continue reading Some stuff about my week
I overslept today....darn it. I hate when that happens! I made the mistake of leaving my phone (alarm) on my nightstand and wound up hitting the snooze button several times. (I usually keep it on other side of the room, so I have to GET UP to turn my alarm off...). Anyway, 3 brief, random… Continue reading 3 Random kid updates
Friday already!! Turns out having Monday and Tuesday off makes the week go by pretty fast. Taking a pause from my trip recap because those are time intensive to put together!! No need to stress myself to get them up in any certain order. Hopefully can get another day or two done this weekend. Speaking… Continue reading Upcoming & Daily Life
Some random stuff today.... 1. I got my covid booster yesterday! I finally rescheduled it after cancelling a couple weeks ago due to a headache that day. I've heard of so many people feeling like total garbage after getting the booster that I had a hard time finding a good day to schedule it...(for example,… Continue reading This and that
Something I'm loving eating this week: Ivan's pico de gallo! He made nachos on Sunday night, and he always makes a big bowl of pico de gallo to top the nachos with. We had leftovers, so I have repurposed the pico de gallo multiple times now. 1st: As a salad topper! Chicken, apple, black pepper,… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
GRATEFUL KAE
