Thinking and pondering: What should I do with the play room? It’s a mess right now.

On my bedside table: The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender; The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

On my tv this week: We’re slowly working through Battlestar Galactica S4 and jumped back into Happy S2. I’m watching GBBO and Below Deck.

Listening to: All the podcast like usual.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Curried Coconut and Lime Gourd Soup

• Tuesday - Chili

• Wednesday - Leftovers

• Thursday - Polish Rye Soup

• Friday - Chicken and Dumplings

• Saturday - Chicken Ranch Tacos

• Sunday - Cheesy Artichoke Pasta

On my to do list: My big task is to figure out eye appointments for myself and the kids.

Happening this week: Nothing much. I’m sure we’ll go to the library later this week, but that’s it so far. Maybe a zoo visit? Or at least a trip to a park?

What I am creating: Nothing much. I really do want to make some Christmas cards this week.

My simple pleasures: Hot tea, a good book

Looking around the house: Thinking about what to do with my craft room once my furniture arrives right before Halloween.

From the camera: We went trick-or-treating at Lauritzen Gardens today. It was cold, but lots of fun!
