🏒 Friday night and no better place to be than a hockey rink watching our hockey player play.

📖 Time to catch up on the inter webs as I am waiting for my son to get a haircut. The cost of his haircuts make my head spin as I always went cheap and now a days I just cut it myself 🫣

😵‍💫 Asked a question by email to my youngest dance studio… I am wondering this time how I will receive the response it might be a carrier pigeon as last time I think the sign in the door was directed at me but I received no email response.

Embracing whimsy takes a certain amount of intentionality to give yourself the mental space and the free time to alter course at a moment’s notice.

This article hit home today after being gone all last week and having a relatively busy weekend too.

🏊‍♀️ Already at the pool today for the youngest swim meet. I am sure all the mothers appreciate coming and spending the morning here.

💃 I like when all of the dances for our youngest happen on one day for dance competitions but….. It makes for a loooonggg day… 😵‍💫

I have read the book and it is one of my favorites so it is not surprising that I like the movie too. It has been a while since I read it so I might have to put it back to the top of the list again.

😳 I think I am going to regret that refreshing Cold Brew Coffee I had a while ago. Also, maybe that I dozed off on the plane for a spell too.

😑 Well good thing I have a long layover at the next stop as we have been sitting on the runway for 45 min past takeoff time…

🛫 Time to fly home again… 👋 Portland, ME

🚶‍♂️ Landed in Detroit at gate A75 and now get the privilege of walking to gate A03… Guess I will get my steps in today.

🫠 Busy morning already but as it goes after a long weekend and looming travel today

🧼 It has been a while and as much as I don’t want to today I am going to clean some windows.

☕ After a busy day yesterday I think today is going to be a lazy day.

🤦‍♂️ That time when you thought you hit publish on a post but really you just did a save as draft.

😴 Up early on a Saturday for a dance competition… 💃

🏃‍♂️ Early first meeting of the day got moved so decided to take that and the sun shining as a sign to go run.

🔗 Pikapal | Brandon's Journal This is such a fascinating story but also sad to hear as well. I am sure a lot of us that have been in the blogging world for a while have had someone kind of go offline for one reason or another and wondered. I know I have been curious about some.

📱 I don’t want a new phone but I kind of want to just wipe my phone so it is fresh again as I think I have a lot of applications and things installed that I don’t need anymore. Just weighing the effort this might take now…. 🤔

😖 Starting the morning by trying to get a dishwasher repair person out to fix the dishwasher. Always fun…

📆 Kind of glad my first meeting got moved, but this seems to happen a lot with one person. I appreciate the time back, but now my Friday is looking awful. Likely it will move again, which is the frustrating part. Now time for some annual training so I can stay in compliance.

👩‍⚕️ Day seemed to have gotten derailed work wise as my youngest I need to take to the doctors.

☕ Oddly enough I actually don’t mind mornings. However, I don’t like early mornings that I have to make sure sleeping kids are up and moving. Even though they are older now.

🏃 Who is up for an elementary fun run…🙋‍♂️ Now let’s see how much fun my youngest really has and hopefully we don’t get rained on.

🏒 Time for some Friday morning hockey!
