Right now I am: Gathering my library books for a run to the closest branch once they open this afternoon. I’m also making our grocery list (never-ending).
Thinking and pondering: What exactly are we going to do for the coop Christmas party? I have hot chocolate tasting and cookie decorating. I need to think of a few games and fun.
On my bedside table: The Midwife’s Revolt by Jodi Daynard (book club is on the 30th!), Our Crooked Hearts by Melissa Albert
On my tv this week: Not much. Before he left for a work trip, J and I watched a few movies. When he was gone, the kids and I watched a few movies. I spent most nights not watching television, instead reading or listening to a podcast.
Listening to: I finally dove back into Grim & Mild’s offerings with Grim & Mild Presents: Sideshow. I like the biweekly format even if I’m almost a year behind. I’ll binge listen probably driving to Indiana next month.

Monday - Ranch Cheddar Chicken

On my to do list: I really need to do a brain dump today. I know that I have a ton of random little tasks to deal with, but right now, they’re all rattling around in my brain.

What I am creating: Nothing except big to do lists.
My simple pleasures: Cranberry orange scones, singing along at Music Bingo, snuggles with Q
Looking around the house: I did a whirlwind clean for coop on Thursday, so things are looking decent right now. I do want to vacuum at some point today and I know I have a load of laundry to do.
From the camera: I spent my Tuesday night getting my Alice inspired tattoo, finally!
