Right now I am: heading out to lead a meeting for our new homeschool academic coop. Hoping the conversation goes well.

Thinking and pondering: What science mini summer unit should I put together for Arthur? I’m kicking around a few different ideas, but want to make sure that I don’t overdo the work for myself.

On my bedside table: A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall; The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders

On my tv this week: We finally finished the first season of Shogun and Dead Boy Detectives. J also convinced me to start S1 of Welcome to Wrexham.

Listening to: I finished an audiobook this week to my big surprise. I am not usually a fan of romance audiobooks, but the library only had this one on audio. So I tried it. Still don’t like romance in my ears, but I finished it and am moving on.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Blackberry Bacon Grilled Cheese

• Tuesday - Chicken Pad Thai Nachos

• Wednesday - Leftover

• Thursday - Lemon Chicken Thighs with Potatoes

• Friday - Crab Coconut Curry

• Saturday - Greek Pasta Salad

• Sunday - Spaghetti and Meatballs

On my to do list: I am certain that I have a ton of things to do, but I’m focusing on one day at a time.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Chemistry class (our last class of the year)

• Tuesday - Curriculum Share and Swap

• Wednesday - Sketchbook Hang; Book Club

• Thursday - Coop

• Friday - Robber’s Cave Field Trip

• Saturday - Junkstock!; Escape room for Arthur

• Sunday - Home Day

What I am creating: I’ve been working on the bookish recommendations for the retreat. And I hope that I can get to the March Memory Planner pages.

My simple pleasures: Cookies… that’s all I got this week.

Looking around the house: My house is a bit of a disaster right now. I really need to do a big pick up and put away today before Tuesday’s event.

From the camera: Despite the face, Q loved being silly and posing in the French fry cut out.
