As I look outside my window: It’s sunny and humid outside right now… I’m not excited about how hot I’m going to be today.

Right now I am: Trying to organize our science curriculum for the year. I realized that the way things were laid out initially doesn’t make much sense to me. So I need to reorder.

On my bedside table: The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov, a library book?

On my tv this week: We’re working our way through Battlestar S3 and The Orville S1, so lots of space tv shows right now.

Listening to: Podcasts and more podcasts. I started listening to Grim and Mild’s newest podcast, American Shadows. It shows promise, but the first episode is all about the radium girls and I know a lot about that topic. Still hopeful for the future of that podcast.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Jerk Pork with Caribbean Salsa

• Tuesday - Mongolian Beef

• Wednesday - Avocado, Bruschetta Chicken

• Thursday - Leftovers

• Friday - Buffalo Chicken Sliders

• Saturday - Shrimp Scampi

• Sunday - Calulu

On my to do list: I’m certain I have many little things to do. Sounds like I need to take some time today to do a brain dump.

Happening this week: We’re heading back to the Tree Adventure in Nebraska City for Wednesday’s nature play day. Otherwise, we’ll be home.

What I am creating: Lesson plans like usual. I do want to take some time to craft this week.

My simple pleasures: All the ice water.

Looking around the house: Blergh! I need to clean the bathrooms this week and I’m not excited.

From the camera: Last week was color week! Lots of art this past week.
