On my bedside table: The Secret Society of Tea and Treason by India Holton; Paradise-1 by David Wellington

On my tv this week: We’ve been disappointed with Citadel, so J had me start watching Human Target. Much more fun of a show.

Listening to: J got me hooked on Hello from the Magic Tavern. Oftentimes absolutely ridiculous, but I’m very much enjoying it.

On my to do list: Mostly I just need to prep for my travel. I’ve got a few tasks to finish some prep work and definitely need to pack for both trips before next Saturday.

• Tuesday - Zoo Visit

• Wednesday - Splashpad Day

What I am creating: Mostly just packing lists right now. Now that coop is done, I can put away things and prep for our travel.

My simple pleasures: Chinese food (I’ve had the craving lately), successful planning sessions, new books

Looking around the house: I definitely need to pick up the first floor before Thursday and our curriculum swap. I need to set up a few tables and clear some space.

From the camera: We visited a new-to-us ice cream place with friends after our nature hike.
