As I look outside my window: It’s bright and sunny with a lovely breeze. The temps are supposed to top 90 today, but this morning it is lovely.

Right now I am: just coming back inside after enjoying a book and an iced coffee sitting in my new patio furniture on the back deck! It’s so nice to actually sit out there more now.

Thinking and pondering: about ways to make my life easier… blocking, grouping, planning ahead.

On my bedside table: The Whispering House by Elizabeth Brooks, The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey

On my tv this week: We’re progressed with our watching of Hustle and Star Trek: Voyager. We might be done with at least Hustle by end of June.

Listening to: Nothing much really. I haven’t spent much time listening to podcasts this past week. I did catch up with Currently Reading and my politics podcasts this weekend.

On the menu for this week:

Monday - Thai Red Curry Noodle Soup
Tuesday - Ginger Glazed Pork Chops and Brussels Sprouts
Wednesday - Leftovers
Thursday - Chicken Parmesan

Sunday - Leftovers

On my to do list: My immediate tasks are to print curriculum, do laundry, put away laundry, and pop into the library (holds and prize bundle we won). From there, I need to do a big task list brain dump for the rest of June.

Happening this week:

Monday - Strawberry Picking
Tuesday - Trivia Night
Wednesday - Park Playdate
Thursday - Normal Day
Friday - Cleaning and Errands
Saturday - Book Swap!
Sunday - Normal Day

What I am creating: Mostly just lesson plans. I am also working on plans for the retreat, the coop, and road trip.

My simple pleasures: Hot weather cocktails, being cool, watching the breeze through the trees

Looking around the house: I spent a ton of time doing other tasks yesterday and didn’t get around to my cleaning tasks. Guess what I get to do today? Plus I really want to switch out the clothes and organize the shoes. I would love to have a clear foyer.

From the camera: I got to go to book club… in a restaurant!
