As I look outside my window: The air is a bit hazy but not quite as bright as it was yesterday. It’s still going to be hot today but slightly less than the over 100 degree temperatures of yesterday.

Right now I am: Getting to breakfast and my book fairly late as I slept in a bit. Very tiring week!

Thinking and pondering: Do I have enough supplies for coop this week? We are having a great turnout for our free, open house meetings, but that also means more supplies. I think I have enough, but I did order more sand and lava rocks just in case. (We’re making sedimentary rocks as one of the activities for the geology unit.)

On my bedside table: Hide by Kiersten White (super excited by this one); Lore Olympus Vol. 2; The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

On my tv this week: J and I are finally getting through The Umbrella Academy S3 (two episodes left!) and keeping up with Loot and What We Do in the Shadows. On Friday, the family watched Lightyear for our pizza and movie night. It was a decent kids’ movie.

Listening to: Catching up on my currently publishing podcasts. We did listen to an Eons episode on the way to art class on Thursday afternoon. That may become a routine.

On the menu for this week: Goodness! My meal plan is all out of sorts for the week ahead. Guess I will be tackling that after brunch…

On my to do list: I’ve got a ton of little computer-based tasks to take care of. I imagine finding new doctor for the kids is going to be the long, complicated one to finish.

Happening this week:

• Monday - School Day

• Tuesday - Schramm Geologic Field Trip; Trivia Night

• Wednesday - School Day; Science Class

• Thursday - Coop; Art Class; Library Book Bash (virtual)

• Friday - School Day

• Saturday - Home Day

• Sunday - Currently Reading Zoom Discussion of The Lincoln Highway

What I am creating: Nothing much at the moment, although my June and July Memory Planner pages are on my desk waiting for me. If only it wasn’t so hot upstairs in the afternoon.

My simple pleasures: A cold shower (seriously, it’s so hot!), seeing friends, sorbet (for us lactose-challenged folks)

Looking around the house: Even with a full week of schooling, the house doesn’t look bad. I need to pick up the living room, but that’s mostly coop supplies that are being organized.

From the camera: Our apple taste test was a last minute change to the curriculum but definitely worthwhile. I liked the Cosmic Crisp, Arthur liked the Fuji, and Quentin like the Gala.
