Currently (October 2025 Edition)

Reading: nothing. I’ve started and given up on several books and still just can’t get wrapped up in reading like I used to. I miss it so much and feel like I’ve lost the core of who I am. I don’t like it one bit.

Wearing: a Smith and Edward’s t-shirt and jeans. I am a fashion icon, as always. Follow me for all the latest trends. 

Annoyed by: my kids’ noises. I spent a few days away from home this week, and when I came back I was immediately reminded of the sounds. 

Singing: “Somebody That I Used to Know.”

Craving: a Symphony bar (with almonds and toffee, of course)

Watching


Re-watching Hart of Dixie in the background while I do everything else. 

Buying: Christmas presents. Not in abundance yet, but here a little and there a little as I find things. 

Craving: hoodie weather.

Eating:





Laughing about: the lady next to me in the WinCo bathroom yesterday had a cat in the stall with her. 

Cooking: nothing. All of my meals today (General Conference Sunday) have been provided by other people. How spoiled am I?

Update: since Sunday I have cooked chicken cordon bleu (of the frozen variety) and trout from our pontoon trip

Suffering from: dry eyes, neuropathy, high blood pressure, and my newest problem… cold urticaria

Excited for: Nicky’s good friend Addie to leave on her mission this month! (She’s had her call since April!)

Procrastinating: making a bunch of doctor’s appointments for everyone in the family. 

Worried about: the state of the world. And yet, it goes on. Just like it always has. 

Missing: my cute boy. But I miss him in a good way, not in an unhealthy or overbearing way. I feel his absence but am happy about what he’s doing in life.


Regretting: writing this post from my phone instead of my laptop. 

Enjoying: rain (when we get it) but unfortunately it’s been causing flooding for many folks including my little brother. My nephew climbed out of bed the other day and was startled by a small pond in his bedroom. 

Hoping: to finish this post someday (I’ve been working on it for almost a week now).

Wanting: to buy a Diet Coke and a Caffeine Free Diet Coke from the gas station and drink them side by side to see if they taste different.

Feeling: lazy, tired, annoyed, and kind of sad.

Avoiding: cleaning my Cpap machine. 

Needing: to moisturize. My skin is dry and itchy, but I never take the time to moisturize. Putting on lotion is a bummer, and I can’t be bothered. 

Grateful for: my home which is currently dry (though the basement flooded last year and we’ve never repaired the damage).
