As I look outside my window: Another sunny and bright day, but thankfully a lot cooler than this past week.

Right now I am: Taking a few minutes out of my morning to read. An hour of reading of Sunday morning with a cup of coffee had been my routine, but I got off track lately. Loving the quiet time before family gets going.

On my bedside table: Jeaniene Frost’s Night Prince series; Estranged and The Changeling King graphic novels; 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard

On my tv this week: So much media this week! We watched a ton of currently airing shows and finally started Andor. Plus, we managed to watch some movies.

Listening to: I managed to listen to my currently airing podcasts this week along with some very old Hello from the Magic Tavern and 99PI episodes.

What I am creating: Nothing really. Working on my Memory Planner pages gets getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

My simple pleasures: Raspberry filled shortbread cookies, cooler temperatures, board games

Looking around the house: I need to do a sweep of the kitchen floor and counters, but otherwise things look decent.

From the camera: We played board games on Friday afternoon and I introduced the boys to Life.
