I rarely do this link-up anymore, but it seemed like a good catch-all for all that I didn't have a desire to write separate posts about...
What we're eating...
This is food from over the last week, not necessarily what we're eating this week.
What I'm reminiscing about...
School starting. I miss it so much that I actually ache. However, knowing that this is a weird year and knowing that, if Wells was school-age, I would probably be choosing to homeschool this year anyway, lessens that feeling.
I would 100% send him to school if I knew he'd get a good experience out of it. But if the school randomly shut down or if it was one of those 1 day in the classroom/4 days virtual at home situations, it wouldn't be worth it.
Call me a horrible person, but I don't want him to be subjected to fear-based learning:
What I'm loving...
Our friends came to visit with their baby over the weekend. Wells just loved him that baby.
What we've been up to...
What I'm dreading...
Something we have to do in the next month is set up our medical care. I hate navigating this part of being at a new base. It's even worse because of coronavirus and the fact that childcare is so limited now..like I can't just drop Wells off for hourly care. We still don't know Scott's schedule. We do need to get well-checks and appointments for flu shots and a dermatologist appointment somewhere in there. Ugh. Oh and the dentist. Again, it's just hard to think about scheduling appointments when Scott doesn't even have a schedule yet.
What I'm working on...
I'm doing the Chloe Ting 2-Week Shred. I cannot recommend it enough. I have about 4 days left. The soreness fades after day 3, so stick with it if you're prone to delayed-muscle soreness. I've read the instructions multiple times but can't seem to get if I'm supposed to do every workout every day, or one workout a day? So I'm just mixing-and-matching and doing two a day. Still only takes about 25 minutes!
I'm looking for other quick-ish programs. Meaning, less than 30 minutes a day because my attention span is short. Recommendations?
What I'm excited about...
Fall. Just the idea of leaves starting to turn is exciting. Spring/summer have been incredibly dull, and I say that as someone who moved halfway across the country in June. I can't imagine what all y'all who've stayed in one place feel like.
What I'm watching...
We watched Palm Springs the other night (Hulu). Really good! I like that it's kind of a fresh idea, compared to most of the comedies that are out there. I'm in this place where I truly do feel like, because of pandemic precautions, all productions have been shut down and we're going to have nothing to watch at some point.
What I'm reading...
I just finished The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica and I'm reading You're Not Enough (and that's okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love by Allie Stuckey. I am struggling with non-fiction though. Like I'm really trying to get too much out of it. Devouring something thriller-ish is so much easier right now.
Also, reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley, but I just started it last night.
What I'm listening to...
The usual suspects.
What I'm wearing...
What I'm doing this weekend...
It's really up in the air. It's supposed to be 88 degrees so probably just more of the same. We're still unpacking the basement boxes, so more of that.
What I'm looking forward to next month...
FALL! fAlL! FaLl! I couldn't get any more basic about it at this point so whatever. I'm embracing it. Also, anything below 90 degrees would be lovely.
What else is new...
Have you watched Imposters on Netflix? Oh man. It's so good.
ReplyDeleteKeith and I have commented that we are ok with not having kids to make that decision for this year. Just hypothetically speaking its hard to make one.
ReplyDeleteWells is so cute with the baby! I did the Chloe Ting 2 week challenge a few months ago. You are supposed to do between 2 and 4 workouts back to back each day. Here is the schedule https://www.chloeting.com/program/2019/two-weeks-shred-challenge.html But I say do what is working for you!
ReplyDeleteI have strong feelings about distance learning and hybrid schedules. It’s such a mess. Gracie could absolutely not handle 8 hours in front of a screen all day. Homeschool kindergarten takes an hour, and she spends the rest of the day playing outside and doing crafts. Even if I had been planning to put her in school, this situation would’ve made me homeschool. Kids need normalcy and routine.
