One more week of summer vacation down, two weeks to go! We are in the homestretch and the end is in sight — so why does it feel so far away? Well, first of all that’s my anxiety talking. The days are so long, that it’s hard for me to wrap my brain around them.…
Oops! I fell off the blogging wagon last week, and today wasn’t looking so great either. I honestly just completely forgot about it. My mind has been so preoccupied with doctor appointments and decisions regarding sending Stevie back to school (along with all the normal preoccupations, of course). After talking to his cardiologist, she gave…
This week felt ultra-productive, any guesses why? Well! I got dressed and left the house exactly twice to get my hair done AND go to a doctor’s appointment. Haha. If you’d asked me in the before times, that would’ve been a really slow couple days, let alone week. The doctor probably also felt like a…
Even when I don’t have much to say, there is nothing better to me than a quiet morning after a good rain when I can sit down with my laptop to write at my desk. We have old beautiful windows that let in just enough sunlight and shadow to dance on the walls and illuminate…
The week has been like many others of the past year: somehow so busy yet so boring at the same time. We got a glimmer of hope in the news hearing that Disneyland and baseball stadiums would be allowed to open in April, as long as the numbers stay low. While they’d only be allowed…
I honestly wasn’t even sure this boring week was worthy of an update. While much of the country has been in winter turmoil, our days in sunny Southern California have been uneventful and predictable at best. And while normally, the monotony drives me bonkers, I can also recognize when boring is a good thing. We…
First order of business is a heart update! On Monday, Stevie had a cardiology appointment. His heart history is kind of a lot. There are plenty of posts dedicated to it: like this one, this one, and this one. It was such a major part of our lives his first few years. For now, we…
I had a few small accomplishments this past month that I didn’t plan. They just sort of transpired when my energy and mindset happened to align with the stars and rainbows and universe. It makes me want to go back and write down some goals in retrospect, just so I can cross them off. Anybody…
Hello! It’s been awhile! Hope everybody is staying well out there. We have been good-ish. Given the circumstances. I’m happy to report for this Week in the Life, all is well on the health and home front. We’re just dragging our butts through distance learning and trying to find little things to keep us busy…
Summer is always a weird time for us, and even more so now! After many really hard summers, last year I finally had Stevie’s schedule in a place that we both really enjoyed. Once school ended he had 2 weeks off, then 5 weeks of summer school, 2 weeks of swim camp, and finally 3…
