As I look outside my window: it’s bright and sunny this morning, but I know that the rains are going to roll in later

Right now I am: Taking a moment to read my book before we head out to the coop’s first book club meeting.

On my bedside table: Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens; The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

On my tv this week: J and I started Obi-Wan Kenobi and continued watching S2 of The Great.

Listening to: Mostly just a big shuffle of all the songs in my Apple Music/

On my to do list: While there are many things on my big list, I’m spending most of this week finalizing the retreat details.

What I am creating: Beyond the retreat tasks, I’m not creating much of anything. I’m really hoping to get my Memory Planner pages started before leaving for the retreat.

My simple pleasures: Iced coffee, good puzzles, amazing books

Looking around the house: Meh. It’s not amazing, but not terrible right now.

From the camera: We took some time this weekend to puzzle. We finished this one and started another one.
