As I look outside my window: It’s overcast today, but make no mistake, it’s still going to be ridiculous hot!
Right now I am: Trying to steal 5 quiet minutes before I have to make food (story of my life).
On my bedside table: The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov; some Regency romance series?
On my tv this week: Moving through S2 of Battlestar Galactica, S3 of Below Deck Med, and S7 of The 100.
Listening to: Nothing but podcasts…
On the menu for this week:
Monday - Leftovers
Tuesday - Fish Chowder Soup (Australia)
Wednesday - Firecracker Chicken
Thursday - Baked Potato Soup
Friday - Shrimp Burrito Bowl
Saturday - Crab and Asparagus Soup (Vietnam)
Sunday - Leftovers
On my to do list: I need to wrap up Alex’s school registration plus I need to call Arthur’s assigned school to tell them that we are going to homeschool. Beyond that, it’s the usually house chores and such.
Happening this week: We actually have a few things on the calendar for this coming week. On Tuesday, I’m going to a friend’s house for a pool party and I have Girly Book Club. On Wednesday, I’m picking up holds at the library and I have my other book club that night. On Thursday or Friday, I’m hoping to get to Target for the last of the school supplies and probably a few food items to hold us over until grocery day.
This will also be our last week for “summer school.” We’re closing out our unit studies with Insects and Bees. Arthur’s excited.
What I am creating: Lesson plans for homeschool and blog post mainly. I want to get back to paper crafting, but my motivation and inspiration has disappeared.
My simple pleasures: A cup of coffee, a good zombie book, cloudy days (even if it’s still hot as hell out there)
Looking around the house: J almost has the basement shop prepped for painting the cinder block walls before starting framing it out. Making a bit of progress. Nothing else has happened upstairs, but I’m really contemplating a ceiling fan for our bedroom. Air flow is terrible in there.
From the camera: Being scientists…
