Here's my randomness for the week:
In the middle of a giant note-taking app transition for planning homeschool lessons and it’s going slow and painfully. I may not recover…
On a brighter note, been loving all the new SKZ content being dropped every single day.
On the other hand, I cannot keep up with all the content.
I might need time to stop for like a week so I can catch up…

Here's my randomness for the week:
Super tired from all the activities, but we are sneaking in two more Vala’s visits before they closed this weekend.
Speaking of spooky, I’ve decided that November will also be spooky book/movie month. I’ve still got some things I want to read and watch hanging around.
Academic Co-op went really well today. I wasn’t as tired as I thought I would be!
My meal planning is all over the place this month. I need to do a fridge cleanout and an eat from the freezer week. Maybe I will feel better after that.

I’m so busy this week!!! Between activities, school, and prepping for the birthday party (and this pesky cough), I am toast.
Getting excited for my tattoo appointment on Monday. And I have an idea of a second one for maybe November…
Still trying to embrace the fall and all the flavors. I love all things fall.

Here's my randomness for the week:
Stormy weather has thankfully broken the high temps. I am much more comfortable now.
I think my reading mojo is back. I have blown through multiple books this week, even while still reading fan fiction. I’m so excited! I might actually get to 230 books this year.
All my dinner recipes have celebrated fall flavors. I cannot get enough of fall!
I should really pull out my fall home decor. I pulled the bins, but did nothing with them last weekend.

Here's my randomness for the week:
Feeling better today, but yesterday was rough. No idea what I had, but I could hardly function.
Entering into the last four weeks of Enrichment Co-op. And I’m still feeling a bit stressed about the lack of communication from some families.
I should start working on my Academic Co-op lessons on Regional History. But first, we need to finalize which families are actually in.

Finally unboxing my Karma albums today with a fellow STAY. So excited to see what I get!
Relatedly, my SKZOO editions are still in transit somewhere. Apparently, there were manufacturing issues so everyone’s packages are delayed.
Looking forward to another pool afternoon at a friend’s house after homeschool co-op.
Feeling the need to do a brain dump this weekend.

Here's my randomness for the week:
Wow! Fan fiction really has a hold on me this month. It has tanked by “official” read report, but I don’t care. I have found some great writers on AO3 and have started to follow them on other platforms.
Related, I have started buying the previous Stray Kids physical albums. I just bought Oddinary, Ate, and Hop. I have Rock Star and Maxident coming. Debating on the rest. (I have already preordered two different versions of Karma. And 5 Star is coming with those preorders.)
On the weather front, it is way way way too hot this week. I hate.
Tonight we are heading to the Orpheum to see Penn and Teller. All five of us are going. Very excited!

Thank goodness the weather has turned! It has been absolutely terrible for the last week. I feel so much better.
I really need to put myself on a library ban. I really want to get to some of my Unread Shelf.
Craving gazpacho this week for lunch.
Fan Fiction has really interrupted my regular reading, but I have loved it so much.

Here's my randomness for the week:
How can we have so much food in this house and yet I have no idea what to make for dinner?
Looking forward to my fall plans for homeschool and our social group. So many great ideas on tap these next few months.
Multiple pool days this week are great but also tiring.
I’m still reading, but will admit that I’ve been reading a ton of fan fiction instead of traditionally published books. I’m okay with that; I’ve found so many good ones. But it does mess with my reading wrap numbers.

Here's my randomness for the week:
I’m way too hot and sticky this week… Thank goodness for pool days.
I started an actual novel and I’m really into it. My reading may actually be getting back to normal.
Loving my new(er) jean shorts. I actually like jean shorts again?
Started a new-to-me K-drama and it’s so good! It’s Hometown Cha-cha-cha in case anyone was actually wondering.

Here's my randomness for the week:
It’s Field Day! It’s always a super chaotic day, but we love doing this event every year.
I may have gotten my reading mojo back this past week. I haven’t just been reading manga but also regular novels.
I think it’s an iced coffee kind of day. Good thing I bought some concentrate earlier this week.
Looking forward to my leftover kimchi jjigae for lunch today.
Maybe I will try some other Korean recipe next week.

Here's my randomness for the week:
The temperatures increased and I am so hot and sweaty. I hate summer…
I actually read a regular book with regular text. I might actually be moving beyond just reading manga.
Lining up all my projects for the next month, and goodness, it is a lot!
My motivation to cook dinner to quickly waning… I may need to change our meal plan.

Here's my randomness for the week:
Exploring the local art museum with other homeschool families is always so delightful. It helps that it was a beautiful day yesterday.
Finally going beyond just Stray Kids in my Kpop obsession. But don’t worry, I still love my Stray Kids so much.
I really need to focus on a brain dump this week to help get it all out. I have so many projects in progress and need to organize a bit.
Went to the Asian Market yesterday for kimchi and came out with my new favorite treat: Green Tea Samanco! So good!

Here's my randomness for the week:
Weather issues caused co-op to relocate indoors this week. Not the best start to our semester.
I have completely fallen down the Stray Kids web series hole. So many shows that I had to search through the Wiki to get the complete list and the airing dates. Currently in 2018 working through some of these shows. (Now I know where a ton of famous clips come from.)
The colony of bees that live in my head that get angry sometimes and cause me problems seems to have all died. I think I am in the middle of a colony collapse. Not a good place to be…

Here's my randomness for the week:
I’m currently reading six books right now. It might be a bit much.
A blizzard came through on Tuesday night, disrupting my plans for yesterday. No birthday dinner out for me. Instead, we have pushed it to this weekend at some point.
Trying to take advantage of all the birthday offers from various places. We’ll see what I can work into my plans for Sunday.

Here's my randomness for the week:
We caught another cold. The boys got over it fairly quickly; I have not. I’m still feeling pretty terrible, Just in time for our trip tomorrow. Really sucks.
Between sickness and general crap, my depression really kicked in these past few weeks. I’ve slowly been sinking, frantically trying to keep myself afloat. My usual tricks hav not been working at all. Because of that… my broken brain has gone into obsession-mode.
My current obsession — Stray Kids. They have been on repeat in my ears this week. Between the music and watching their videos and stupid TikTok videos, I’m staying somewhat afloat. But not really. It’s bad.
Next up on the TBR pile:
Here's my randomness for the week:
The kids are sick again. 2025 is really not off to a great start. I really wish that we could move past this.
On the bright side, we’ve got a ton of school work done while not going anywhere.
And J and I have watched a ton of great television.
I think we are going to start a podcast about our reading of War and Peace. Hopefully I can fit some prep work in this weekend.
Thinking about what I should read next. I have no idea… So many options, but I think I want to lean into whatever mood I am in after finishing my current read.

Here's my randomness for the week:
Academic Co-op is back on track and moving along into the spring semester. I’m very excited about helping the kids with their writing.
I think that our terrible January might just be turning a corner. We’re healthy and school is going well.
Yesterday’s visit to Joslyn Art Museum was delightful. We met a new friend and saw some great art. The museum is such a gem for our city.
We finished a ton of shows this week and started a few new ones. Such great media available right now.
