serendipitous journey Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Morning! & Happy Tuesday. Today's rule is to do as little as possible & be mellow doing it. More or less. Kicking off Official Activities with this post. Then a quarter hour of finding my garden notes, organizing them, brainstorming-the-flower-boxes sort of things: the flower boxes are in quite a sad state at the moment. Another quarter hour outside with the boys. Then some language work all around, and music for younger + math with Dad for elder. Second round of language for elder, reading for younger, maybe some math: that should see us to lunch, and lunch read-aloud. Start afternoon with half an hour outside for boys, prepping dinner galette dough & other ingredients for me, a round of school + RPG work, some cleaning & fitness & writing work. Early dinner -- pizza galette + blueberry galette, fresh veggies, salad -- and online piano for younger. Bedtime stories. AND: somewhere in there, help elder clean out off the garage "chemistry" table. + write to elder's online language provider: I've agreed to let him drop Greek. 😉 Edited January 6, 2021 by serendipitous journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Evening! After dinner here. Well, it felt like a surreal week. But we're all here, we got some stuff done, I have a much better sense of what lies ahead & how to tackle it. Also we had a new meal for dinner (a Desperation Dinner) and it was so yummy! A mongrel shakshuka with chickpeas & mozzarella + jack, and fry bread with some whole wheat flour in the mix. Rest of night: bit of exercise, get clean, tuck boys in, popcorn & movie with DH. And be grateful for the internet, which yielded a tasty & nutritious meal for my family and brings me to this forum, too. 🙂 Edited January 9, 2021 by serendipitous journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
