As I look outside my window: Storms rolled through last night and the remnants are hanging around today. It’s very overcast and wet out there. Guess J’s plan of working on the yard is not going to happen today.

On my bedside table: Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel; The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

On my tv this week: Not a whole lot. We watched the season (series?) finale of Moon Knight and started the next season of Holes Moley. Last night we finally watched Rocketman.

Listening to: Mostly just my favorite playlist and the usual podcasts. I am going to dive into a contemporary romance audio novella in a few minutes.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Orecchiette with sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and lemon

• Tuesday - BBQ Chicken, Apple, Bacon, Cheddar Quesadillas

• Wednesday - Mongolian Beef

• Thursday - Leftovers

• Friday - ???

• Saturday - Texas Cheese Fries

• Sunday - Chicken and Dumplings

On my to do list: Beyond the house chores, I need to prep our house for the curriculum share and swap on Tuesday. That means I need to get the living room and breakfast rooms picked up and set up the folding table to hold curriculum.

Happening this week: It’s going to be very hot this week! Hopefully we can stay cool.

• Monday - Zoo Day

• Tuesday - Curriculum Share and Swap

• Wednesday - Dentist Appointment; 90s Music Bingo

• Thursday - Coop

• Friday - Park Playdate

• Saturday - D&D

• Sunday - Home Day

What I am creating: Mostly plans for the coming months. I spent a chunk yesterday writing posts for the proposed coop changes and plans. Today I need to work on curriculum plans and retreat plans. So many plans!

My simple pleasures: Listening to the rain, a cleaned out van, a fun romp of a book

Looking around the house: Today is vacuum, kitchen, and laundry day! Oh what fun…
