Life Right Now #15
As I look outside my window: Clear and bright. Thankfully the temperatures have decreased slightly…
Right now I am: Deciding what to make for brunch. I think this is my weekly line.
Thinking and pondering: How do I efficiently pack the van? The retreat boxes number 8, plus all the cold groceries, my two personal bags, and various small bits. And then I need to fit in my three passengers’ stuff.
On my bedside table: Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez, Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson, Rules of Civility by Amor Towles, Annie Bot by Sierra Greer - Except for the ebook (Annie Bot), I’m taking books from my Unread Shelf to the retreat.
On my tv this week: J and I have just been working through our currently airing shows - Welcome to Wrexham and Clarkson’s Farm.
Listening to: After finishing my audiobook last week, I switched back to podcasts. Specifically I listened to S8 of the Revolutions podcast focused on the Second French Republic. That was a short season with only eight episodes. I might just start S9 today…
On the menu for this week:
Monday - Spinach Potato Sausage Soup
Tuesday - Fish from Freezer
Wednesday - Leftovers
Thursday - Sunday - Gone on retreat
On my to do list: All the little (and not so little) tasks to prep for leaving town on Thursday. I have a few little errands (dropping library books, grabbing my beverage from the store) and the big task of grocery shopping. Beyond the actual retreat tasks, I do have some random house things I want to take care of.
Happening this week:
Monday - Swimming Lessons for kids; Pool afternoon with friends
Tuesday - Swimming Lessons for kids
Wednesday - Swimming Lessons for kids; Retreat grocery shopping
Thursday - Swimming Lessons for kids; Coop; Leaving for Retreat!
What I am creating: Mostly still piles.
My simple pleasures: A quiet moment, a walk in nature, finishing a book
Looking around the house: Meh. The big pile will be gone on Thursday. Otherwise things are decent around here.
From the camera: Pretty bit of purple on our nature walk
