On my bedside table: Anatomy by Dana Schwartz (reread for book club); Pathogenesis by Jonathan Kennedy

On my tv this week: Nothing really. My mom and I watched Below Deck and The Bachelorette before the kids and I left on our road trip. That’s it. That’s all I watched in the last week.

Listening to: During our drive home, I finished Jurassic Park and followed up with A Grown-Up’s Guide to Dinosaurs. Right now, I’m working my way through Camp Red Moon by R.L. Stine before turning back to my usual podcasts.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Tacos and Black Bean Soup

• Tuesday - Teriyaki Chicken and Rice

• Wednesday - Texas Cheese Fries and Salad

• Thursday - Hawaiian Pulled Pork Nachos

• Friday - Garlic Shrimp Pasta

• Saturday - Honey, Peach, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese

• Sunday - Bourbon Marinaded Steak, Sweet Potatoes, Broccolini

On my to do list: Everything needs to be put away and all the lists need to be made. I’ve got piles of stuff that needs to be placed in its homes while I do laundry and dishes. And then, I need to make all the lists (grocery, coop, TBR, etc). From there, I ned to time block my free time to tackle coop prep, homeschool prep, and home tasks. I should probably do a brain dump first…

Happening this week:

• Monday - Errand day: grocery, library, Target, etc

• Tuesday - Zoo Day

• Wednesday - Fremont Lakes

• Thursday - National Homestead Monument? (I may change this to something that we missed while I was sick)

• Friday - Crafting at the Park

• Saturday - Home Day

• Sunday - Nerdy Bookish Friends Book Club Meeting

What I am creating: All the lists! And hopefully more Memory Planner pages.

My simple pleasures: Being home. Seriously, it was so nice to wake up in my own bed. Reaffirms that I really am a homebody at my core.

Looking around the house: After the last month of nonsense, things are just everywhere in this house. Not really dirty, but very cluttered right now. I suspect that this week I’ll be purging a bunch of stuff.

From the camera: UFO-like prototype at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton.
