I’ve been wanting a weekly space to reset, regroup, and pretend I have life more organized than I sometimes do, so welcome to the first Sunday Reset.
Last week was one of those weeks where something was happening almost every night. Good things, mostly. But by the end of it, I was ready for the couch and a suspicious amount of silence.
This week looks calmer. The calendar has finally loosened its grip. But first...
A Look Back at the Week That Was
Word of the Week: Full
Did: Saw A Beautiful Noise (the Neil Diamond musical) with my aunt, went to our monthly Bingo night at the community center, took Holden to Lego Club, and spent time at Get Air trampoline park.
Accomplished: Survived a busy week without forgetting anyone, missing anything major, or needing to fake my own disappearance.
Loved: Leaving work early to pick up the kids and watching Holden run out of school thrilled because someone in his class had gifted him a package of mac and cheese. Childhood is weird, generous, and undefeated.
Hated: Ongoing struggles with a skin infection and misplacing my license.
Read: Conditioned by Amanda Russo and Death Row Games by Shade Owens, both on Kindle Unlimited.
Watched: The Dark Wizard on HBO Max, a gripping documentary series that just dropped. I'm looking forward to the last two episodes being released.
If the Week Were a Book Title: Booked Every Night
Looking Ahead to This Week
What’s on the Calendar
- Holden's final Lego Club at the community center.
- Taco lunch at work, a belated celebration for Administrative Professionals Day.
- My cousin's bridal shower.
- Hopefully seeing the new Michael Jackson movie at some point this week.
To-Do List
- Go to the library to return some books and pick up holds.
- Continue to work on some minor blog rebranding by updating more images.
- Order and bake more brownies for my ongoing taste tests.
- Finish my current book.
- Find a new documentary series to dive into or finish season two of The Pitt.
Looking Forward To
- A slower week in general with a few open evenings.
- A possible return to family running. Holden is ready. Caleb has not yet signed on.
Not Exactly Looking Forward To
The possible return to running after a five-month hiatus (the Turkey Trot was our last run). I support the idea more than the experience.
Main Focus
Choosing discipline over convenience this week: fewer impulse buys after a spend-y week and choosing to go out and move our bodies instead of sitting on the couch, even if it's just for one night.
One Thing I’m Keeping in Mind
The things that help most are rarely the easiest in the moment.

Here’s to doing a few things I don't feel like doing this week, then being glad I did.
