What I'm reminiscing about...
Earlier this month I took a trip to
Nova Scotia. I got to visit with family and one of my best friends from when I was growing up. Lots of memories shared :)
What I'm loving...
We have been having a great September for weather. I like the cooler temperatures in the morning but it's always quite pleasant during the day.
What we've been up to...
Helping Q with his reading, encouraging E to practice his guitar, and getting them both ready for their cross-country race next week.
What I'm dreading...
As part of our renovations, we have decided to replace our old radiators with new ones and get a new boiler. This means some of the work needs to come down to the basement where we are living to remove piping and make connections to the new rads. I am wondering how that will all work out with us being down there. Dave is hoping they can get a bunch done while we are away next month.
What I'm working on...
Getting those last minute things done for Q's birthday party this weekend. We are actually doing a joint party with one of his buddies so the moms are sharing the burden which has been nice. On my list this week is preparing some fruit and vegetables and pre-ordering the pizza. Favour bags, drinks, and cake was on the other mom's list :)
What I'm excited about...
We have been doing a good job of eating well, not drinking, and not snacking at night. That said, I am excited to go out on Friday night for Q's birthday and treating ourselves to pizza and beer.
What I'm watching/reading...
Dave and I are watching Dopesick and The Morning Show, and we are watching The Office with E. Amazing Race starts this week so we will be watching that one as a family.
My books for September will be shared on Monday.
What I'm listening to...
No change from last month, '90s-'00s Hip Hop and Chris Stapleton.
What I'm wearing...
What I'm doing this weekend...
Celebrating Q's 7th birthday.
What I'm looking forward to next month...
Thanksgiving, Halloween, E's birthday, and DISNEY!! (and Universal)
What else is new...
I had a fall cold last week and I took a different approach of powering through with revolving doses of Advil Cold and Sinus. Although I certainly did not feel 100%, my symptoms were pretty contained. Not sure if this is the best way to do things, but I'm on the other side of it now.
