It’s too late on Sunday night, but I am ready for bed. Today was busy. Up, clean, breakfast … NAP! for 2 hours with baby. Vitally important nap, I must say. Then making food and cleaning, then 2 hours of mad mad work on organizing files and some house work and work on the course …
No, I haven’t given up shopping though I think the amount I’ll be doing in the next while will decrease exponentially. However, after a number of purchase challenges lately, I’m of the opinion that in general, used is a better choice than new. I am finding that when I splurge for new (and/or expensive), the …
Let me start from right now (10:46 p.m. on Friday night) and move backwards. I just heard a whistle outside. I hope it’s not the paper lady, returning to remind us that we left another light on. About 10 minutes ago I was seriously freaked out when I heard a strange voice yelling outside the …
On my way out from work today I passed a woman in the foyer who turned around and said, “Kamilla?” I turned around, said hello, recognized her but couldn’t place her right away. “Did you go to any more of the writing group sessions?” she asked. Then I placed her: the interesting and funny woman …
Life has a mysterious way of filling up. Last night, after blogging, I continued to rush around. Both husband and I spent the whole evening, until after 11, cleaning, organizing, purging, preparing for the following day. And guess what? There’s still a lot to do today too! Baby woke up at 11, then 1, and …
I had a big meeting at work today. I was facilitating a process with a group of faculty to help them come to a common understanding around some urgent decisions. I was a bit stressed. It was a challenging decision and a group of intelligent, engaged people. It had the possibility to go very poorly. …
Yes, I’m shopping AND checking Facebook. Just enough to keep me happy, not too much to drive me crazy. After moving into the basement, we noted a few things we needed to fill in the gaps so headed out this morning to get them. One stop at Jysk yielded some baskets and odds and ends. …
Today was delightful on two counts. I participated in a conference on women and spirituality. And we moved into the basement of our home so we can get the renos done. First, the conference. There were representatives of 9 different faith traditions, responding in turn to a series of questions about why we believe, how …
My husband’s feet running up the stairs to our house. My baby glugging back breastmilk. A friend’s voice on the phone. Cellos, double basses and other strings. Creeks, rivers and babbling brooks. I’m sure there are more, but these are top of my list. In other news: I love this picture. The jaunty …
Aaah … went to bed with daughter tonight (8:30 ish??). Up at 12-something when husband came to bed. I did a few things (morning prep – hanging laundry) and am heading back to bed. So lovely … 🙂 And tomorrow is the last day of work for the week – lots to do, then 3 …
