this week #66

Hi! It’s been a minute. I finally started feeling better after two weeks of illness, and then I hit the ground running. At the same time, Patrick started feeling sick a solid 10 days after I would’ve initially infected him. Sleep was not pretty last week. Patrick was coughing up a storm and Alaska was… Continue reading

Hello! I’m going to complain right from the jump. Is that okay with you? I am sick and have been sick for over 9 days now! I flew to San Diego last Monday for a work trip and had a light cough by Monday evening. After a rough few days, I was sure I’d start… Continue reading

Happy Friday! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful day. It was a weird week over here at Casa Nicolini Mannon. Our sweet dog Alaska had a series of really hard days and we were very concerned. We took her to the vet on Wednesday and she seems to be doing better, but is generally… Continue reading

The episode came out at the beginning of the year (classic timing) and was a tiny bit corny, but I was surprised to find I enjoyed the mental exercise! After leaving a toxic job… Continue reading

As I type this, the redbud tree outside our house is blooming with such gorgeously pink flowers, there is a near cloudless sky, and I am going to go on an easy little run later… Continue reading

Hello and happy Thursday! You guys, I have really been slacking on this blog. 2026 is flying by! Normally when I say that it’s because life is passing by without me noticing, but this year has just been so full. Between work and life and training, my days have been so busy and complete. I’m… Continue reading

snaps from life

I opened the curtains before I sat down to have lunch on Friday. It was a beautiful and sunny day, I had made a delicious lunch, and I was looking forward to enjoying a break from work. I ended up snapping a photo of my lunch because the light was just right and it was… Continue reading

You guys, what in the world, I am feeling sick! Again! I spent the first 30 years of my life proudly never getting sick and now I get sick every other month. Is this what getting older is like? Not a fan. It might be allergies but I definitely have a minor cough and felt… Continue reading

Hi from my bed! I’ve been trying to spend more time sitting still and chilling out this week. So far, so good. I keep myself entertained with reading and YouTube, but today I figured I’d pop in for a life update! It’s been a minute since I’ve written one of these anyway. Here’s what I’ve… Continue reading
