Currently...

This week I’m going to do this currently thing from Katy ON the currently day! How about that? It also just so happens that I have half a Friday Five from last week that I never finished and I thought I’d get on this before I let any more time slip through my fingertips. You know how that goes.

Loving

My favorite work lunch currently.

Reading

I’m listening to The Goldfinch by audiobook. I kept putting off reading because everyone told me what a tome it is (it sat from the library on my nightstand for a while last year) and yes, it is 32 hours long, it’s good so far! (I’d tell you how far along I am, but Overdrive just updated and looks completely different. I shall investigate.)

 

I never got through Case Histories before it expired. I finally got more into the story but it never really grabbed me. I have the next Finishing School book awaiting me on the library queue and I downloaded Lindsay Buroker’s newest book so I’ve got plenty of fun books to keep me company. I also downloaded a couple 1.99 books that looked promising last night in a fog of exhaustion when I couldn’t sleep.

Watching

Did I tell you we got rid of cable? We so rarely watch television, we pared down to the basics until baseball starts again. So. I’m not watching anything? I started Making a Murderer last week but I haven’t picked it back up after turning off the tv to do something. My coworker handed over the Bluray of the sixth season of Downton Abbey, so maybe I’ll start that tonight.

Listening to

Besides The Goldfinch, we’ve been listening to a lot of Hamilton. There’s one specific song that I skip for the kids all together, but mostly I hope that they don’t pick up the sex parts and enjoy the rest of it. Spencer likes to read the liner notes though, so I’m sure he knows all the words, including “it’s hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets”.

Thinking about

Pony baseball started! I am again, team mom, and so I’m currently thinking about how to get new dirt on our field, getting the ants taken care of, ordering pants, what kids weren’t at first practice. I need to write out one of my notoriously long emails to the parents spelling out times and dates and points of note.

Anticipating

I have to be out of town a couple days this week for work, and I’m anticipating that trip. I need to pare down my packing to basically a change of clothes, a toothbrush since it’s one of those small planes. Side eye, right here. I don’t want to go.

Wishing

There were more hours in the day. I’d devote some of the extra to work and some of it to sleep so I could enjoy the current time with my family without something in the back of my mind.

Making Me Happy

I’ve made some late night impulse purchases of Lularoe and Stella and Dot, so those impending packages make me happy.
