As I look outside my window: Bright and sunny

Right now I am: Researching potential homeschooling for Arthur

On my bedside table: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

On my tv this week: We watched a couple of mediocre comedy movies. We also finished Broadchurch S3, continued with Holey Moley S1, and dove back into Cosmos S2. I’m up to S6 of Below Deck.

Listening to: A few podcasts here and there.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Chicken Pad Thai Nachos

• Tuesday - Pulled Pork Sandwiches

• Wednesday - Spaghetti

• Thursday - Pot Roast

• Friday - Leftovers

• Saturday - Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken

• Sunday - Fried Rice with Shrimp

On my to do list: I need to make another library pickup appointment, start getting the twins return trip organized, think more about homeschooling, pick up Arthur’s yearbook, do a grocery run (we had a package of chicken leak and go bad), spray for ants, and organize next week’s school theme (U.S. Geography).

What I am creating: I’m hoping to get back into card making. I made two cards last week and want to use the bundle I borrowed from a friend to make some more.

My simple pleasures: Sweet and spicy tea, a cool breeze, sprinklers

Looking around the house: J has been demoing more of the basement in preparation for potential air duct replacement and to make a server closet. It’s a mess on one side, but he’s made great progress so far.

From the camera: We went berry picking! A great socially distant activity for us. The berries were really small due to a late frost, but they taste great. I’m making strawberry compote today for a waffles.
