Life Right Now #8

As I look outside my window: Sunny and bright but pretty cold. March’s weather is all over the place per usual.

Right now I am: Ready to pick up my current read for a little bit before making brunch. Later I have my Nerdy Bookish Friends zoom and then we’re off to see The Lion King at the Orpheum.

Thinking and pondering: What polls/questions do I need to posit to the coop? We’re making some changes this year (really we make changes every year) and these ones are pretty big. I’m debating about what to make a poll and what to just change through executive action.

On my bedside table: Dark Waters and Empty Smiles by Katherine Arden; The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia

On my tv this week: We finished Wonderland this week! Another show completed. Otherwise, we’ve been keeping up with Shogun as well as a few random movies.

Listening to: Nothing too exciting. I have been on a Within Temptation kick, so their newest album has come up a lot.

On the menu for this week:

  • Monday - Mississippi Pot Roast

  • Tuesday - Honey and Lime Jalapeño Chicken

  • Wednesday - J’s Birthday Dinner

  • Thursday - Prawn and Sweet Potato Jamaican Curry

  • Friday - Ham and Potato Soup

  • Saturday - Sweet Potato and Quinoa Bowls

  • Sunday - Ranch Cheddar Chicken

On my to do list: I need to order J’s cake for this week. I also need to find a tax document and hopefully make doctor’s appointments. I should probably do an admin check-in for the coop.

Happening this week:

  • Monday - Chemistry Class

  • Tuesday - Home day?

  • Wednesday - Lauritzen Gardens Field Trip; J’s birthday!

  • Thursday - Coop

  • Friday - Home day? Park day? Not quite sure yet.

  • Saturday - Home Day

  • Sunday - Home Day

What I am creating: Nothing much. I wanted to get to my Memory Planner today, but it may not happen.

My simple pleasures: Singing along to music in the car, chats with friends, free play time for the kids

Looking around the house: Looking decent.

From the camera: We had another “fancy” ramen night this week. Kimchi flavored instant ramen with lots of toppings!
