Currently - April '24

If these posts are truly meant to be monthly, I'm right on time! 😉 The actual writing of it is more important than the when right now.


loving - Several years after everyone else, we got an air fryer and we've been loving it for quickly roasting veggies. We've also made wings and crispy tofu, and I think it's going to get a lot more use during the summer when it's much too hot to want to turn on the full-size oven.

looking forward to - The end of a big project at work in about 8 weeks, and more immediately, taking Friday off for a long weekend in southern Arizona with some friends. While we're planning to do some gravel biking (and Keizo has been making some nice upgrades to our bikes in preparation), I hope we will have some quality downtime too. Work and the news have been a lot lately, and hopefully the change of scenery will make it easier to forget about all the things that need to be taken care of around the house.

buying - I picked out two new tops and a dress from ThreadUp to give me a few new options for the warmer weather ahead. I'm still on the hunt for some new casual sneakers, but having trouble finding any that aren't all white. They're just too impractical (especially the soles).

planting - We are a few weeks into an experiment to see if we can regrow a pineapple plant from the crown of one from the grocery store. As of today, there are few baby roots showing! Otherwise, a couple of houseplants are looking a little rough as it starts to warm up, but at least all of the shrubs along back wall have fully recovered from a couple of frosts.

cleaning - On the list of things to clean: the shower, the kitchen floor, a pair of leather boots and my sweaters before I tuck them away for the summer, etc. The bathroom rugs and flannel sheets got done this weekend though!
