Today was my last day of work before a winter break of almost 4 weeks long (I know! I can’t quite believe it myself!). I”ve been working hard the past few weeks to catch up on all the things that seem to need doing before the break, but somehow today was still a remarkably intense …
Baby was asleep by 9:30. And in the context of other things lately, that seems early. I have been wondering about sleep lately because her patterns have changed a lot – usually she’d fall asleep 8ish after nursing and bottle, but now she pops up, awake and ready to play. I wonder what is going …
Today was a too-busy, complaining day. Blah. Right through tonight, with baby finally asleep by 9:50. That’s right. Waaay too long, way too much going on. And a lot of the things I wanted to complain about are pointless now. Husband just found the ribbon of bells I made for baby that she lost. He …
I’ve got a blog to write, but our internet connection is not cooperating. I wanted to write and post at work just to make sure I got it done today, but, well, work isn’t working that way for me right now. I have 3 more days of work before winter break and quite a bit …
Today was a great opportunity to choose to dial it down, back and under rather than push ahead. I’ve been leaning towards get-it-done productivity of late and while it brings positives (cleaner house, advances in my writing) it also can take me out of the present moment. Wait … have I written about this before? …
My first real snow day of the year and it was magnificent! Not at all what I’m used to, but a delightful new normal. First, I now heartily endorse going to bed early with baby. I slept well, she slept well, and I woke up a bit before 7 rested and ready to go (incidentally, …
Including today, I have (had) 8 more days of work until winter break. Fewer than 8 days, in fact, to get done a large amount of work. Today at work I had to video-tape a presentation that was part of a lecture series my office sponsors. This proved to take lot more time than anticipated. …
WOW I’m tired!!! Really really really. Falling asleep while playing with baby tired. I’m just up from putting her to bed … did I go to sleep there for a while? I couldn’t tell you. So I’m awake now to blog, brush my teeth and return to bed. And sleep. Oh, sleep!!! I’m looking forward …
Winter is arriving. First snow today. I have mixed feelings about this. Snow is beautiful, peaceful, fun. It portends the seasonal shift into cozy, indoors and nestling down life. I kind of love dressing up in long socks, lost of layers, toques and jackets, carrying a cup of tea everywhere. And there are few things …
Slow, lazy day today. I think I might be a tiny teeny bit sick. Baby slept for a 4 hour stretch last night plus some other bits. I think maybe more sleep is making me sleepy. Anyhow, I feel not great, it’s cold, and though the house is messy I don’t want to clean. Husband …
