Hope you all had a nice weekend. We went out for lunch in downtown trying to feel some normalcy — not sure if that worked. I spent some time in the fountain pool with Stevie, which seriously cracks me up. And we all did the usual catching up from the week. Even squeezed in a…
Welp. It’s Friday night. I got dressed for about 2 hours today to make a post office run and pick up some dinner. WOW! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Stevie will take a little swim and maybe even sit through 15-20 minutes of a movie tonight. Then maybe we will feel like the weekend…
As usual, this is the time of year (capsule wardrobe or not) that I start to feel really bored with my clothes. I have felt an energy shift and just want to spend time browsing and shopping and thinking about new stuff. I want new clothes BAD. The hot weather doesn’t help at all, since…
Heading into week two of home school and I think we’re ready. A slow start last week was nice, and I don’t know that I’m necessarily looking forward to being more busy. But it’s a different kind of busy than playing ALL DAY LONG. I guess I like to have something pointed and productive to…
Hope everyone who is starting school is doing okay so far! I’ve been so tuned out from time and dates that I didn’t even really realize it was coming up so soon. Today we picked up Stevie’s class supplies from his teacher, and virtual learning starts Monday. While we know what to expect this time…
Today was long and today was hot. But none of what we did is important, other than Stevie’s cardiologist appointment. I don’t know how much detail to give, so I’ll start with this: everything is stable, and we’ll go back in six months. Huzzah! If that’s all you wanted to know, skip ahead. If you’re…
The heat is on it’s way. BOOOO!!! I was almost starting to think maybe I had predicted our weather patterns wrong. We’ve had such a nice, pleasant start to August I was feeling regrets that I didn’t include more pants in Part 2 of my Summer Capsule. But a quick glance at the report this…
Stevie and I had a good start to the day, which also felt like a good start to the week — taking a nice long walk this morning. But by around 2pm, we were both in full on meltdown mode. Truly? I don’t know how these next few months are going to look. I’m hella…
From the looks of my Instagram, and how often I reach for this secondhand sweater, I would guess I’ve worn it at least 10-12 times in the 4 months since I started my capsule. It’s definitely a favorite, and one that I think I wear “all the time”. But looking at my wardrobe tracker shows…
It has been such a huge adjustment for me that during the pandemic my energy is constantly and consistently zapped. Of course, on top of the stress of corona life, I’ve said before that this season is eerily similar to the newborn stage with Stevie, where I am needed at 100% capacity ALL THE TIME.…
