As I look outside my window: The rain from yesterday has cleared up. It’s not super hot right now, but very clear and bright.

Right now I am: Making my coffee to go sit on the deck and read a book.

On my bedside table: Something is Killing the Children Vol. 3; Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid

On my tv this week: We finished S1 of Loki and I’m so incredibly sad that it’s over. I need more Loki in my life. We also continued with our usual shows and started Schmigadoon.

Listening to: My usual politics podcasts. Nothing that exciting really.

What I am creating: So many piles! Working on our first couple of weeks of school and making lesson plans.

My simple pleasures: Mid-afternoon rain storms, putt putt fun, ice cream

Looking around the house: Better than it was yesterday. We cleaned the playroom and it made me feel so much better!

From the camera: The boys got new Dog Man books and immediately sat down and started reading. Love it!
