As I look outside my window: A random storm blew in this early morning… and I was planning to weed the yard! Oh well. Right now it’s still very overcast and lightly sprinkling.

Right now I am: Prepping for the day

On my bedside table: Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau; The End of October by Lawrence Wright

On my tv this week: We’ve almost finished the second season of The Umbrella Academy! Yes! and No! I don’t want it to end.

Listening to: The usual podcasts. Plus I’ve been listening to Hayley Williams’s album Petals for Armor on repeat lately.

On the menu for this week:

Monday - Shrimp Burrito Bowls
Tuesday - Sloppy Joes
Wednesday - Maple Bourbon Pecan Chicken
Thursday - Baked Potato Soup
Friday - French Onion Pork Chops
Saturday - Leftovers
Sunday - Takeout Pizza

On my to do list: I need to focus on homeschool this week.

Happening this week: We’re officially starting homeschooling tomorrow! Hope it goes well.

What I am creating: I’m finally working on my Memory Planner again. Almost finished with June. Next big task is to format and print July’s pictures.

My simple pleasures: Hot coffee, feeling organized, pretty pens

Looking around the house: Some areas were cleaned up while others have acquired clutter. I need to reinstitute a weekly cleaning schedule. Over the week, J did clean the third bay in the garage so he could pull his car in (a friend is going to use our driveway to store a vehicle this week).

From the camera: We found some chairs in the forest this week…
