As I look outside my window: It’’s bright and sun. After a very warm yesterday, the temperatures are going to drop a bit today, but not by much. A trip the library later will only require a light sweater.

Right now I am: Finally putting down my book for a bit. I got a late start to my Sunday morning reading due to kid sickness. Here’s hoping that it’s a passing thing.

Thinking and pondering: About my D&D character’s backstory. I think I need to flesh out my character a bit more before next session.

On my bedside table: The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss; The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams

On my tv this week: We’ve been making our way through The Hobbit movies with the kids; finishing The Desolation of Smaug tonight. And J and I have been watching Cowboy Bebop and Hit Monkey.

Listening to: Mostly random podcasts, but this week hasn’t left much time for even those.

On the menu for this week: It’s a weird week due to medical stuff and book clubs…

Monday - Out for book club
Tuesday - J can’t eat (prepping for a minor medical procedure) and I have book club late, so maybe I grab something at the restaurant?
Wednesday - Maafe
Thursday - Fancy BLT Grilled Cheese
Friday - Pomegranate Chicken
Saturday - Homemade Pizza
Sunday - Chicken and Corn Soup

On my to do list: I have some book and activity advent activities to finish prepping before Wednesday. Plus, I need to prep my circuits lesson for later in December. And I need to do some house tasks.

Happening this week:

Monday - Normal School Day; Book Club
Tuesday - Normal School Day; Other Book Club
Wednesday - J’s Medical Procedure; Kids’ 2nd Vaccine Shots!
Thursday - Coop; Groceries?
Friday - Visit to See Santa!
Saturday - Home Day
Sunday - Home Day

What I am creating: I have made 46 Christmas cards and would like to make probably 14 more to make it an even 60. I’m rolling along with my creations and am just about done.

My simple pleasures: Good coffee, fun D&D adventures, and a good book.

Looking around the house: I’ve put out our meager Christmas decorations including some outside items. I’m sure that I will add a few more things before the end of this year. But as we aren’t going to be here for Christmas, I’m not putting up a tree.

From the camera: Day after Thanksgiving meal made of leftovers.
