First of all, Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️☘️ I'll always fondly remember our St. Patrick's Day spent in Ireland: little Asher in 2022 No big plans here except Ivan and I ARE going to go out for that St. Patty's Day beer at a nearby Irish pub. Planning to go later, after dinner, and hope… Continue reading Recent things
Whew, TGIF. This was a fine week, really, but I had work-releated things Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday that I was either just not super excited about and/or made me a little anxious. On Wednesday, in particular, due to an absence of the person who normally does this, I had to facilitate a certain meeting series… Continue reading Imposter syndrome(?)/ some discomfort in work growth zone…
Work has been SO BUSY lately that I have been more excited than usual when the weekends roll around. I mean, things are going well at work overall and much of the work is very interesting and engaging, but it's just very go-go-go all day long. And some days seem to stretch later than I… Continue reading Weekend and a little work mystery
Ugh, I had a DAY today. Started full of promise: And I ended up feeling like this guy: Ha! A wooden Christmas decoration in my basement that apparently Charlie knocked over… and where did the fuzzy stuff come from?? 🤔 who knows. Not really worth delving into- was some work stuff. Anyway, let’s look on… Continue reading A day!
I'm home! Yesterday, Friday, was Day 5 in Nashville and my final conference day. I was glad it was an abbreviated day (starting at 8:00, ending at 2:00 instead of 5:00) because I really was suddenly starting to feel at my saturation point of listening to presentations! I mean, it really was a great conference… Continue reading Day 5 Nashville- the end!
Day 4 already! Second to last conference day. In keeping with fall theme, burnt orange/brown pants with navy tank. It was another great day of presentations but oof, my brain is kinda starting to go to mush at this point. Like I already said, these have been FULL days of information overload. Lunch today had… Continue reading Day 4 Nashville- hittin’ the town!
These are not the most exciting “travel” recaps, probably because this obviously isn’t true travel! It’s getting late and I took a shockingly low number of pictures today, lol, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. But I want to keep up my little streak, just because. 🙂 Today was the first day of the… Continue reading Day 3 Nashville- more work, (slightly!) less fun
Whew, this was a long day! I’m cooked. We had to be downstairs by 7:30 a.m. for breakfast. Then it was a FULL day of presentations. Like legit 8-5 nonstop with 1 hour for lunch (which was served upstairs in a different ballroom and was actually AMAZING) and a couple of short coffee breaks. No… Continue reading Nashville day 2- long day!
My first solo trip in a long long time! Like I said, I know other people travel solo ALL the time, either for work or pleasure, and traveling especially for a conference is totally commonplace for many others. But it’s really not for me!! I have traveled solo on multiple occasions in my life- including… Continue reading Nashville! Day 1
AHHH the weather has been amazing this week. Sunny and warm.... HOT even. I am so happy we're getting some great weather here in May, because I had been feeling a little bummed that we'll be away the first 2 weeks of June. Historically early June is one of the best times weather-wise in Wisconsin,… Continue reading Reminiscing… nurse schedules, summer, vacation hours…
GRATEFUL KAE
