As I look outside my window: Clear and bright. The temperature is supposed to top out at around 60 degrees, before steadily dropping over the next three days to a high of 12 degrees on Thursday. Fun times in the Midwest.

Right now I am: Scrambling to finish this post as I completely forgot about it last night (we had D&D) and was distracted this morning by curriculum and my puzzle.

On my bedside table: Girly Drinks by Mallory O’Meara; Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire

On my tv this week: We ended up watching a few movies, but took a few nights off from watching anything. I had two busy nights and we had D&D last night.

Listening to: Mostly podcasts, although I did download a new album by The Rumjacks; found them on Apple Music’s New Hard Rock playlist.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Balsamic Glazed Pork Roast

• Tuesday - Mosterdsoep and Ontbijkoek

• Wednesday - Prawn and Sweet Potato Curry (but switch to tofu)

• Thursday - Chicken and Noodles

• Friday - Leftovers

• Saturday - Mississippi Pot Roast

• Sunday - Crab Coconut Curry

On my to do list: Arthur scratched his glasses at the park so I need to attempt to get those fixed. I also need to create a new account as my student loans were just transferred to a different company (seriously hate this practice), and I have an anticipated big project documenting our homeschool read alouds.

Happening this week:

• Monday - Regular school day

• Tuesday - Regular school day; Lord of the Rings trivia at Edge of the Universe

• Wednesday - Regular school day

• Thursday - Coop

• Friday - Coop field trip to the planetarium

• Saturday - Home day?

• Sunday - Home day

What I am creating: I’m working on my 2022 Memory Planner, but took a break this week to deal with some big projects.

My simple pleasures: Earl Grey Tea Bread (didn’t over-bake it this time); Fun times at Music Bingo and D&D; quiet time at the park

Looking around the house: Having coop here the past two weeks means that the first floor is in decent shape right now.

From the camera: 90s Music Bingo! We didn’t win but it was still lots of fun.
