Yesterday was a rather different day for me, in multiple ways. My "usual" Thursday involves: going to the gym early, working from home all day, and then eating up leftovers from the week or cooking at home. I've been playing volleyball on Wednesday nights, and we tend to go out on Friday nights, so I… Continue reading An atypical Thursday!
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
GRATEFUL KAE
