Someone is helping my son with math today 🐱. One overlooked benefit of homeschooling, lots of cat breaks 😂

I finally found the time and energy to make it to a Kung Fu practice last night. Lots of good stretching and sword forms in class, plus some new faces 😀.

I made myself take my time and not rush in finishing my orchid in one sitting. It’s finally done, and I love how it looks on my window sill 🌸

One thing I’ve really enjoyed this week was writing down a daily quote in my journal. To start the year out I’m reading “The Practicing Stoic” by Ward Farnsworth and jotting down what strikes me as meaningful as I work my way through it.

It’s been so grey and rainy here this week. Plus going back to work and ramping up homeschooling has left me extra drained. I needed something lovely to look at. My favorite vase and bright flowers are just the ticket.

For Christmas I got my son a telsa coil and a set of noble gasses. Today we finally had the time to set it up and enjoy. It’s so cool looking!

I’m really enjoying this Lego set I got from my sister for Christmas. I can’t wait to finish it and have it on my desk to enjoy 🪷

Figures I take a day off of work only to spend it on a migraine 😒

My secret for hiccups: Hold a butter knife covered in a thin layer of peanut butter between your teeth while drinking a cup of water. Try not to eat the peanut butter! Just drink the water. It’s messy, hilarious, and I have no idea why it works.
