Month: August 2025

I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday. This week is dragging.

Ev and I are still finding our new groove now that classes have started. He’s adjusting to high school, though, like many kids, he “hates school,” which breaks my heart. I remember enjoying parts of high school, but the culture feels different now.

My students echo the same sentiment. No one seems to have an interest in doing anything, and it’s exhausting when you are in a position to motivate, whether as a parent, a teacher, or, in my case, both.

So, yeah, I still got nothing! I know, it’s stupid to blog when I’ve got nothing to say, but I committed to checking in on these goals weekly, and damn it, I’m gonna do it.

Let me see if I can work backwards through the week.

I’ve got nothing, guys. My desire to write just hasn’t been there.

I’m just popping in real fast to share some photos from this year’s beach week and update my goals.

Annually, we meet The Husband’s family in Seaside Park, NY. It’s a longstanding tradition, and this was my 31st year! Unfortunately, Ry couldn’t go with us this year, as he used most of his vacation days for the Iceland trip. So it was a little bittersweet, but we still had a great time.

Here’s Ev and The Husband walking to dinner one night.
