As I look outside my window: It’s fairly sunny out there right now, but pretty darn cold. Seems like the clouds will be rolling in later.

Right now I am: Contemplating making earl grey tea bread or muffins.

On my bedside table: Fuzz by Mary Roach; Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor (reread for book club)

On my tv this week: We’ve continued our movie month with The Godfather Part II, tick tick BOOM!, LOTR: The Two Towers, Bad Boys for Life (that was terrible), and LOTR: The Return of the King.

Listening to: Mostly podcasts, but I also cued up some Mike Shinoda and A Day to Remember this week.

What I am creating: I started working on my 2022 Memory Planner and am attempting to finish my 2021 December Daily album.

My simple pleasures: A stop at my favorite panderia, exploring new areas of town, finding historical markers

Looking around the house: It’s in decent shape from my panicked cleaning before coop on Thursday. I do want to tackle a deep clean of all the kitchen counters and fridge today.

From the camera: We started playing HeroQuest for family game night. The boys are getting the hang of it.
