As I look outside my window: The sun is out, the wind is blowing, and the leaves are changing colors.

Right now I am: Trying to make a darn to-do/brain dump list. Too many little things rattling around my brain; I need to get them all out!

Thinking and pondering: What is more important right now - going to the dentist or going to the eye doctor? My anxiety can only handle one this month. I’m leaning towards eye doctor as my glasses are pretty scratched up.

On my bedside table: Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner; The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Clune

On my tv this week: We ended up watching very little tv this past week. I was exhausted most nights. But we did watch Enola Holmes and Aladdin (2019). Both were entertaining if nothing else.

Listening to: The usual podcasts. Although today calls for music.

On the menu for this week:

Monday - Swahili Fish with Coconut Rice
Tuesday - Chicken Shawarma Fries
Wednesday - Broccoli Beef
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - BBQ Chicken, Apple, Bacon, Cheddar Quesdaillas
Saturday - Zurek (Polish Rye Soup)
Sunday - Coffee Rubbed Pork Loin

On my to do list: See above for brain dump problem…

Happening this week: It’s grocery week once again. Off to finish my giant grocery list and hopefully not forget anything too important. We also have nature play day on Wednesday, a library visit sometime (Friday?), and maybe a park visit as the temperatures will be cooler.

What I am creating: Finally getting back into card making. I ended up making 6 cards using a borrowed stamp set yesterday. Hoping to start organizing my Christmas card supplies today.

My simple pleasures: Sleep, that’s all this week, just sleep

Looking around the house: Blergh! I think I’m the only one in this house that picks up random crap that accumulates. There’s crap everywhere right now.

From the camera: Quentin peeking out from behind one of our unit theme books.
