As I look outside my window: It’s very overcast and humid today. Still going to be hot, but right now it’s kind of nice outside.

Right now I am: Heading out to read my book on the deck.

On my bedside table: Dating-ish by Penny Reid; lots of Isaac Asimov

On my tv this week: Continuing with Hustle and Voyager and the Marvel movies with the kids (we just watched Guardians of the Galaxy).

Listening to: Nothing that exciting

Tuesday - Fish of some kind
Wednesday - Vietnamese Crab and Asparagus Soup

On my to do list: So many things probably. I’m almost finishing with road trip planning and getting close to finish August’s lesson plans for homeschooling. I should definitely update my brain dump list.

Monday - Home day

What I am creating: Mostly lesson plans. I really hope that the fall season allows more time for my personal crafting. But for right now, I’m just working on curriculum for the next homeschool year.

My simple pleasures: A good cup of coffee and listening to nature sounds on the back deck.

Looking around the house: Decent, but I should really make one day a chores day to maintain things around here.

From the camera: Loving my Sunday morning ritual of coffee and a book on the back deck.
