As I look outside my window: Bright and sunny again after yesterday’s weirdly overcast day

Right now I am: Prepping a big to-do list for today and making breakfast.

On my bedside table: Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley (book club selection); Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren

On my tv this week: We caught up with our currently airing shows (Loot, What We Do in the Shadows) and watched two movies this week. We’re formulating a plan for music movies/documentaries September. With the kids we started watching Ms. Marvel. Really digging the style choices.

Listening to: Mostly just podcasts this week. My satellite radio finally updated after our cancellation and so I am still figuring out the local radio channels. The commercials are killing me. Guess I need to queue up music on my phone more often.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Potato Soup with Sausage

• Tuesday - Out for trivia

• Wednesday - Canada Night (Maple Chicken, Wild Rice, Bannock Bread, Blueberry Crisp)

• Thursday - Fiesta Chicken and Rice Bowls

• Friday - Texas Cheese Fries

• Saturday - Steak on grill, sweet potatoes, broccoli, dinner rolls

• Sunday - Lemon Butter scallops, parmesan tilapia, clam dip

On my to do list: Amongst many other things, I do want to make eye appointments and booster appointments for the kids.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Durham Museum Visit

• Tuesday - Heron Haven Visit; Family Trivia Night

• Wednesday - Science

• Thursday - Coop; Art Class

• Friday - Gaming Open House

• Saturday - Home Day

• Sunday - BC Zoom for The Left Hand of Darkness

What I am creating: Mostly just lists of what I need to accomplish in the next two months. We have a weekend trip to Des Moines and the boys’ birthday party to prep for.

My simple pleasures: Good dreams, overcast days, cleaning off my side table

Looking around the house: Meh. I’m okay with everything this weekend. Just want to do a sweep style pickup hour later this afternoon.

From the camera: I didn’t win at Music Bingo this week, but it’s always fun. Only two more weeks of the bar’s Luau Disco Queen theme before they repaint.
