As I look outside my window: It’s a bit overcast, but still going to clear up and be over 90 degrees today. Thankfully tomorrow the high is 80 degrees. I need to open these windows again and get some fresh air!

Right now I am: Sorting through all the random school resources I downloaded this week. I just found a great music listening journal template that I’m totally going to use.

Thinking and pondering: Do I have enough energy today to clean the toilets? Who am I kidding? I will find every excuse to not clean the toilets, but then, the toilets don’t get cleaned because no one else in this house is going to do it.

On my bedside table: Across the Universe by Beth Revis; Shrill by Lindy West

On my tv this week: We’re slowly starting S2 of Battlestar Galactica. I made some progress on Below Deck and The 100.

Listening to: Just podcasts. I’ve really enjoyed quiet this week.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Kale and White Bean Soup

• Tuesday - Monterrey Chicken Skillet

• Wednesday - Baked Potato Soup

• Thursday - Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls

• Friday - Leftovers

• Saturday - Sweet Potato Nachos

• Sunday - Pineapple BBQ Chicken

On my to do list: I want to work through some more of the homeschool resources I found. I’m slowly getting everything prepped for August. I also know we need to continue organizing the garage. It’s looking so much better, but still a lot of stuff in there that shouldn’t be in there. And I suspect some trash (mostly just old boxes, not like rotting food trash).

Happening this week: I made another library pickup appointment for Wednesday. And this week is grocery week, although my list is in shambles right now. Guess I know what I’m doing tonight.

What I am creating: Lesson plans mainly. But I do want to print my June memory planner photos and work on a “me” project this week.

My simple pleasures: Quiet, a cool breeze, a chat with a friend.

Looking around the house: I need to vacuum and do a general pickup. Plus, those darn toilets won’t clean themselves.

From the camera: Most of this week’s library book haul.
