We’re getting down to it, folks. One more week, and it’s not even a full one. I shouldn’t be surprised that we’re at the end of the year, but I am. Our calendar is always ticking forward, so it’s not surprising that December 19th comes after the 18th, or that Week 51 precedes Week 52,…

2021 December – Week 48
Still behind on these… so we’ll make it quick again. Sunday One thing I’ve loved about this school year is being on a team. Our core teacher team is delightful. Monday STEAM projects tend to make the teachers roll their eyes, but the kids had fun with this one. Let’s hope the school actually constructs…
2021 November – Week 45
I was feeling a little down this week. I’d been so excited for NaNoWriMo this year because I love the writing community it fosters, and I was antsy to dive into the new story I’ve been kicking around in my head. But it’s been a slog. I’ve had a hard time forcing myself to sit…
2021 October – Week 41
A heavy week. Here were the moments that brought smiles to my face. Sunday Hiking with Aung at Blue Mountain Lake… Monday Smelling the hydrangeas… Tuesday Taking care of Bailey Boo while my dad was recovering from his surgery… Wednesday Remember moments with Michelle (it’s been 13 years!)… Thursday Letting Bailey Boo hang in the…
2021 October – Week 40
A full week… So full, in fact, that I’m too behind on things to reflect much. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing— because I’m out there living life— or if it’s a bad thing— because I’m not slowing down to appreciate that life. Either way, it was my life this week. Sunday I…
2021 September – Week 36
It’s here. Let’s do this. Sunday Finally finished (I think?) the signs for Nick and Ashley’s wedding over the long weekend. Monday Can I just say? Loved getting my feet wet with the Superintendent’s Conference Days as soon as the calendar ticked over to 9/1 and then having the long weekend to fully prepare for…
2021 September – Week 35
I made the most of the summer— I can say that with certainty, and that’s a good feeling. Plus, the decision that destroyed me for the better part of two weeks has started to fade in my rearview because I know I made the right choice. That’s also a good feeling. Sunday I spent one…
2021 August – Week 31
Sometimes I spiral into obsessive thoughts and can’t make a fucking decision. That was basically the entirety of this week. The moments captured below were the few instances I tried to zen out or be present. Grateful. Calm… Sadly— get this— it was remembering that I had to take a picture every day in order…
2021 June – Week 22
My first taste of June 2021 was an interesting mix of flavors. Sunday As May came to a close, Aung and I finally finished submitting his FAFSA. I don’t understand why it’s so hard every year, but it’s always a chore. When we were done, he hung around and introduced me to some anime shows….
2021 March – Week 11
We’ve officially been in pandemic mode for over a year. We went home from school and into lockdown in March 2020 on Friday the 13th. One year later, there’s a lot to reflect on. Almost too much, at least at the macro level. Quite a bit on a personal level, too. It’s interesting how we…
