I googled the “currently” blog posts and the Internet spit out this resource: 102 verbs to use in the “currently” posts (plus 27 adjectives, aka feelings).
Watching … project Runway with my husband. Gawking (with jealousy) at the creativity of the designers who are competing (this weekend). Laughing at and loving everyone’s quirks!
Listening to fall jazz playlist on Spotify.
Planning… this coming week. T is away for a few days, so I’m solo parenting. I prepped nicely this weekend, getting the house and the fridge to its baseline. Maybe even a little above the baseline. Floors vacuumed and mopped, groceries bought, lunches planned. I am obviously still running on adrenaline from feeling overwhelmed all last week so I am trying, really trying to pay it forward to future Daria.
Reading… I am in between books right now so I read a magazine yesterday.
Thinking about… our “get cultured” events (the term comes from Monica Packer from About Progress). In essence, live theater events! I have scoured the schedules of the three theaters that are relatively near by and wrote down events that I’m interested in – mainly dance and circus. In total it’s 14 (!!!) events and theater is pricey, so I have to select ONE per month. Even that can get expensive.
Worried about… this week. First full week with students, first full week of having my kids in school, first full week of activities (one hour piano lesson on Wednesday, 45 minutes BJJ on Tuesday, Thursday, and maybe even Friday). First full week with T traveling. Ooooffffff. Wish me luck.
Celebrating… putting my sports clothes and sneakers into a duffel bag, next to R’s jiu jitsu gi. Also celebrating a good drop off today- smiling and waving. Even our freshly-minted kindergartner!
Do you do theater? Do you purchase tickets in advance or wing it?
How is your week looking? What are you planning, celebrating, worrying about?
