As I look outside my window: After weeks where our backyard tree stayed green with just a tinge of red on one side. In two days, all of the leaves dropped. I didn’t get my beautiful red tree this year. Feeling a bit sad…
Right now I am: Pulling out my book for my normal Sunday morning reading time. I haven’t been able to do it for a few weeks and I miss it!
Thinking and pondering: Should we get donuts this morning? The eternal Sunday question…
On my bedside table: So many books! I have a stack of spicy romances to preread for Dirty Book Month, a few book club books, and a stack of Christmas romances. Not sure what I’m going to pick up next. First I need to actually finish my very strange but enjoyable book.
On my tv this week: We had to watch the S2 finale of Loki; it had me close to tears. And we have watched a few more Nicolas Cage movies to continue our retrospective.
Listening to: I managed to listen to multiple podcast episodes in the last few days. Nearing the end of S1 of Hello from the Magic Tavern, nearing the end of 2016 for 99PI, and continuing with a few of my currently airing podcasts like If Books Could Kill.

On my to do list: Meh. I’m feeling very over my to do list right this second. I’m sure I have a ton of things to do, but I’m going to focus on prepping our curriculum and getting my Chemistry and Coop lessons set aside. Otherwise, I’m just existing this week.

What I am creating: Nothing beyond piles… seriously I’m just making piles of clothes and things to get rid of. I don’t often do a spring cleanout. I do a before Christmas cleanout.
My simple pleasures: Hot tea, apple cider, Italian soda — apparently I was very thirty this week!
Looking around the house: Beyond the piles, I got a ton of the first floor back under control. I do want to vacuum today and get the laundry done, but otherwise, the house is in decent shape.
From the camera: Got my semiannual hair chop! So much lighter and able to get a bit of volume through the winter months.
