Leap Day Currentlys

 I was inspired by San and wanted to share some of my currentlys today, too!

 

ENJOYING / some fun nail color that Lil Momma and I got done over Feb vacation. I have never been a “nails” person (it always felt like my fingers were suffocating), but this time hasn’t been that bad and I appreciated them shaping them.

 

EATING / I’m in the office 2-3 days a week and if I pack and bring my lunch like I am supposed to, I’ve been having my favorite Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on one day and a fun coffee on the other (apple crisp oat milk shaken espresso… mmmm!). It’s been a nice way to incentivize getting everything ready the night before.

 

SAVORING / This may sound weird, but last week I started a new workout plan (aka “little things done consistently are better than big things done once or twice”) and it’s honestly been really gratifying to feel a little sore from working out. Maybe it’s because I’ve felt “injured” for years – and I’m still learning to navigate what is “pain” vs “soreness” – but that specific sore / tired is earned and gratifying.

 

THINKING ABOUT / I have a hope / goal of a solo vacation this year. It’s something I’ve never done, so it would probably only be for a night or two. But, I’m trying to figure out how far away I want to go, what I want to be near, etc. Most likely, this will be in the fall – my favorite time of year! – so, I have plenty of time. But it’s also easy to lose track or run out of time when planning things for myself, so I’m trying to keep this on my list.

 

DRINKING / A coffee in the morning. A tea at lunch and mid-afternoon. SO MUCH WATER (and a Liquid IV every other day) as I feel super dehydrated lately.

 

BAKING / While I wait out this sourdough starter experiment, Lil Momma and I are planning on making some scones this weekend.

 

READING / Some books for the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge: My Brilliant Friend (a book published under a pen name) with the CBBC, Hot Six (a book published in 2000), and Boy, Snow, Bird (a book set 24 years before I was born).

 

BUYING / Summer clothes for LM to wear in her show later in March, as well as a pair of new “active sneakers for her and a bonus pair of Converse All Stars (which I always called “Chucks”) that she’s been begging for. They’re light blue with daisies on them and quite adorable (if not great arch support, haha). I am researching if I want to get another Apple Watch or something else, as well, as my current Apple Watch immediately began losing oh so much battery life 3 years to the day I bought it in early February, sigh. Oof, planned obsolescence.

 

WATCHING / Lil Momma and I are watching Doctor Who from the beginning of the modern series which is quite fun. The Mr. and I are still knee-deep in Expedition Unknown (we’re on a set of episodes about the Afterlife) and are watching the new episodes of CSI on Sundays. As a family, we are still rewatching Taskmasterover and over because it brings us joy. I checked out the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith on Amazon Prime which I thought was fun and the most recent season of True Detective, too (I just love Jodie Foster). 

 

TRAVELING / I am pretty sure we are taking the latter half of April’s school vacation week to go to Maine and bop around (LM is intent on revisiting a chocolate factory tour she and I went on a number of years ago). Hopefully, we’ll be able to see some of my family up there, as well as have some as-good-as-weather-in-April-gets adventures.

 

PARTICIPATING / Outside of the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge, I can’t really think of another THING I am participating in – but, I am trying to be more of a PARTICIPANT in my friendships and conversations after being really overwhelmed for the last year or so which feels really good.

 

LOOKING FORWARD TO / Getting outside more! Warm cups of tea after chilly walks. My bulbs peeking out. Getting through Q1 at work, haha!

 

 

Is March spring-ish where you are or more of the same?
