Last week was a
good mix of productivity, relaxation, and fun, and that’s exactly what I love. It’s all about balance, right?
Monday, February 23
Monday morning, I decided to snooze one extra time before getting
up. Since Brian works from home on
Mondays, he doesn’t have to get up and shower right after I do, so I’ve started
snoozing a lil more if I don’t feel like getting up. I looooveeee my sleep, so even an extra 10
minutes (well, 9 technically since that’s the amount of time between snoozes)
makes a difference for me.
I got the kids to school (in the freezing cold again – boooo), returned
the school key and red carpets from the dance to the front office, and then I
headed back home.
I spent the rest of the morning tackling four loads of laundry and
finishing my blog post for the next day, and I started planning and sending
emails for the Mother Son Dance that I’m co-chairing later in March.
Brian’s company was recently acquired by another company, so our health
insurance changed this year, and I found out that my daily inhaler for my
asthma (something that I have to have), is now going from $90 for a
six-months supply to $654 per month. I wish that was hyperbole, but unfortunately,
it’s not.
I had less than three weeks to go before I needed a refill, so I knew
that I needed to figure out what to do as we obviously cannot afford to pay
$654 per month for one prescription, so I finally took the time to call my
allergist to see what they could do.
They said, unfortunately, that all daily inhalers are extremely costly,
and that I needed to contact my insurance company to talk to them about what to
do.
After much research on my part (and Brian’s), we finally found a daily
inhaler that *appears* to be just $40 per month, so I’m crossing my fingers
that the price we’re seeing is legit. I
have to pick it up this week, so we’ll see what happens then, but boy, has this
new insurance been a journey (to put it nicely).
On the way to pick up the kids from school, I stopped by the library to
pick up a bunch of books for Olivia and me, and I chatted with my friend,
Jeannine, for a bit while I was there. I
always love stopping by and visiting her.
When we got home, the kids got started on homework, and Olivia ended up
starting and finishing one of the books that I’d brought home for her. She is very picky about what she reads, but
when she finds something she loves, she can’t put it down.
I’d hoped that the kids could get some fresh air Monday afternoon, but it
was SO COLD. We maxed out in the upper
30s, and it was crazy windy, so they ended up staying indoors. My crazy self, on the other hand, decided to
go out for my walk, and it was so cold that I decided not to do my entire
route. I cut it short by a few minutes
because all my extremities were going numb.
When I got home, Brian ran to Walmart to grab a couple of things, and I
got showered and in my PJs before starting dinner. On the menu for Monday was pizza Joes with
fruit and chips, and we all sat down to eat when Brian got home.
Monday marked the one-year anniversary of Maui’s death, so I thought
about her nonstop all day. I cannot wrap
my head around the fact that it’s been a whole year.
After dinner, I got all the laundry put away from the day, and then I
listened to my Lent study. Jacob and I
worked on our puzzle for a bit while Olivia showered and got ready for bed, and
then I snuggled up with Olivia in her bed, and we read side by side while Jacob
showered and got ready for bed.
Once everyone was ready for bed, we watched some more of Jurassic Park
2, and then the kids got into bed.
Brian and I started the new season of Paradise… I’m so excited
that it’s back!
Tuesday, February 24
Tuesday morning, I dropped the kids at school and then I headed home. On the agenda for Tuesday was more laundry
and finishing my blog post for Wednesday.
I also caught up on emails, did my daily blog reading, cleaned out my
planner, and tidied my office.
Mid-morning, I also took a quick 45-minute nap. I don’t know what on earth is wrong with me
lately. I’ve been sleeping great at
night as I always do, but I have been so tired in the morning. I feel like I hit a wall around 10 AM every
morning now, and it’s annoying. I’m
thinking it’s just the weather… it’s been a long, cold winter for us this year,
and we’re not used to that. I can’t wait
for spring!
After school, we met up with Brian to drop Jacob off with him for golf,
and then Olivia and I headed home. She
did homework and read some more while I did my Bible study and my Lent study
for the day, and then I put all the laundry away from the day.
Brian texted to tell me that Jacob had pulled a muscle in his side while
warming up for his match, so he was unable to play on Tuesday. They ended up coming home early. It’s nothing serious, thankfully, and he’s
already back out there again.
I drove Olivia to dance, and then when I got home, I went out for a
walk. The city was doing another
controlled burn, and the air quality was awful – it was so smoky that you could
see it hanging in the air – so I cut my walk short again because my lungs
couldn’t take it. I have asthma, and
smoke is one of the things that bothers me the most.
I did a slow, deliberate arms workout when I got home so as not to
trigger my neck issues, and then I showered and washed my hair because
everything smelled so bad from the smoke.
After I was done showering, I headed downstairs to make some cinnamon
muffins to have on hand for the rest of the week, and then I got started on
dinner – sheet pan sausage, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, green peppers, snap
peas, and onions.
Jacob took it easy all afternoon studying and playing video games, and
thankfully, his side felt much better by the next morning.
Brian grabbed Olivia from dance, and then we all had dinner together when
they got home.
After dinner, Olivia got showered and then she was ready to get in bed,
so both kids ended up getting in bed a little earlier than usual. Brian and I settled in for another episode of
Paradise, and then we went to bed, too.
Wednesday, February 25
Wednesday morning, Brian offered to take the kids to school, so I let him
get up and shower first, and I slept until nearly 6:30 AM. It was Olivia’s birthday, so I woke her up by
smothering her in kisses, and then I showered and got ready for the day.
Olivia wanted me to do her hair since it was her birthday, so I pulled it
halfway up and braided the part I pulled up.
It’s her favorite way to wear her hair.
After Brian and the kids left for school, I got right to work to make the
most of my extra time. I spent the day
checking items off my list, and I was excited to get a bit ahead on the blog
since I got behind again earlier this month:
-
Started and finished blog post for Friday
-
Started and finished blog post for Monday
-
Caught up on emails
-
Cleaned the toilets
-
Dusted the whole house
-
Cleaned all the mirrors
-
Dusted one of my artificial plants in our bedroom
with my dusting gloves
-
Put out all of Olivia’s gifts on the kitchen table
so they’d be ready when she got home
By the time I had finished all that, it was time to get dressed and out
the door to pick up the kids. They had
orthodontist appointments after school, but we had some time to kill, so we
swung by the Culver’s drive-through to pick up a little treat for the birthday
girl and Jacob. They both got their
favorite concrete mixers, and we also went ahead and picked up dinner for
Olivia since it was her long dance night and she has to eat before she goes.
I put her dinner in my bag to keep it warm, and she and Jacob enjoyed
their ice cream treats on the way to the orthodontist.
Olivia had just broken a bracket a couple of days before her appointment,
so it was perfect timing. They had to
remove a couple of her brackets anyway, and put on new ones as part of her
treatment, and they also removed her springs since her adult teeth are finally
coming in. They put a chain on her top
teeth to close the gap between her two front top teeth, and she opted for pink
and yellow brackets for Easter.
Jacob had another great appointment.
He is still on track to get his braces off either on time or possibly a
little early (he should have less than a year to go at this point), and the
orthodontist started him on his rubber bands at night only. I’m praying he doesn’t have the same issues
with his rubber bands as I did. I’m sure
he won’t since he doesn’t have any jaw problems. So far, so good for him!
When we were done at the orthodontist, we had just enough time to go home
and let Olivia open her gifts from us before she had to get dressed and out the
door for dance. She had asked for a
vanity mirror, so we found a beautiful one with lights and different settings,
and we also got her a few other things on her list… mostly beauty items.
After that, she and I loaded up in the car. She ate her Culver’s dinner on the way, and I
ate a snack and had my hot tea on the go on the way to dance… it was a busy afternoon!
When I got home, I had just enough time to squeeze in another short walk
before I needed to shower and get dinner ready, and then the boys and I sat
down to turkey and cheese biscuit sliders with fruit and Greek yogurt.
After the kitchen was cleaned up, the boys and I worked on the puzzle
together – maybe we’ll have it finished by Easter? – and then I did my quiet
time + Lent study while Jacob showered and got ready for bed.
I had a leftover slice of Dairy Queen Blizzard cake + 1 small scoop of
leftover dirt cake from Nana and Poppie’s ready for Olivia when she got home,
and we sang happy birthday to her and let her blow out her candle.
She’s usually exhausted when she gets home from dance on Wednesdays
because she’s there for more than three hours and she gets home late, but she
still had a little pep in her step on Wednesday since she was riding that
birthday high.
We Facetimed with my parents while she ate her birthday dessert, and then
she got showered and into bed. Since it
was so late by the time the kids got in bed, Brian and I opted to watch a
little bit of our backlog of Saturday Night Live episodes since we could
easily turn it off whenever we wanted, and then we went to bed.
Thursday, February 26
Thursday morning, I took the kids to school and then I settled in at my
desk to work. It was gloomy and a little
chilly Thursday, so it was a good day to stay indoors. I started this post and got as caught up as I
could, and then I started on my blog post for the following Wednesday (the one
you’ll read tomorrow). At that point, I
was four full blog posts ahead which is always a win in my book!
Late in the morning, I lay down for a bit because my neck was bothering
me. I wanted to clean the house, and
vacuuming always triggers my neck issues, so I took some time to rest first. I’ll sure be glad when my neck gets back to
normal!
I spent the rest of my time at home scrubbing the countertops, vacuuming,
and mopping the whole house. I ran out
of time and wasn’t able to finish vacuuming, so I abandoned everything and
headed to get the kids from school. But
first, I had to put gas in my SUV because I was on empty.
After school, the kids and I went to music lessons. Olivia had a checkup with her ENT doctor
immediately following the music lesson, but we had to leave lessons a little
early to get there on time. I sat in
with Jacob, and then I snuck out to grab Olivia. Mr. Steve had put her new strings on her guitar,
and she was amazed at how rich and beautiful the sound was. It’s amazing what a difference nice strings
make!
We left Jacob at music lessons and headed to the ENT, and Brian swung by
and grabbed Jacob when his lesson was over.
Olivia’s appointment went well.
Originally, we were looking at doing her big thyroid surgery this
summer, but her doctor said that she hasn’t hit a big enough growth spurt that
he wanted to see before the surgery, so we’re going to continue visiting with
him every six months and we’ll be putting the surgery off until next summer at
the earliest. I am relieved to have some
more time.
While we were there, our doctor broke the news to us that he is no longer
doing thyroid surgeries, though, so that means she’ll have to be in someone
else’s hands which makes me sad. He told
me that he had to stop doing time-intensive surgeries because he had started
having a lot of cervical neck issues from them (similar to my issues) and he
wants to preserve his neck so he can have a nice, long career.
I totally get that – especially since I can commiserate with the neck
issues – but I’m just so sad that he won’t be the one doing the surgery. He has been such a huge part of our family’s
well-being throughout the years – he did Jacob’s ear tubes, Olivia’s ear tubes,
two of Olivia’s biopsy surgeries for her thyroid, and he did Olivia’s surgery
to repair the hole in her ear that never healed from one of her tubes + he has
been right here with me through all of my issues with my tinnitus and anxiety
(he’s the one who finally diagnosed me with anxiety and that many of the issues
I was having were caused by the anxiety) as well as my neck issues – and he’s
always been phenomenal – a good human being to his core and such a blessing to
us.
Thankfully, he will continue to see Olivia to monitor her nodule, and
then he’ll refer us to another doctor just for the surgery, and then we’ll
continue to see him as needed for everything else since he’ll still be
practicing and doing other surgeries, just not the long ones.
Thankfully, Olivia’s nodule was still around the same size as the last
time… it hasn’t grown at all so that’s what we wanted to hear. She was cleared for six months and then we’ll
go back again in August to check it again.
While we were there, he asked me how I’m doing, and I updated him on my
retainer issues and all that. I also
told him that my tinnitus has ramped up in both ears, and how it’s now louder
in one ear than the other, and he came right over and checked my ears, which
was so kind of him to do since I didn’t have my own appointment. He said that my ears looked good and healthy,
so unfortunately, I don’t have any answers on the change with my tinnitus,
which is frustrating.
We were the last patients in the building, so it was late by the time we
got out. When we got home, it was time
to start making dinner right away, and then we all sat down to breakfast for
dinner.
After dinner, Olivia offered to vacuum the remaining rooms for me since I
hadn’t been able to finish before I picked up the kids from school, and then I
helped her organize her new gifts that she’d gotten for her birthday.
After that, both kids got showered and ready for bed and Olivia Facetimed
with her friend, Maren, for a few minutes.
While the kids were doing that, I did a functional strength training
workout, focusing mostly on my lower body since I’m still having so many issues
with my upper body, and then I did my Lent study for the day.
We had a few minutes to sit down and watch some more of Jurassic Park
2, and then after the kids went to bed, Brian made Manhattans for us and we
watched the newest episode of Shrinking.
Man, I love that show.
Friday, February 27
Friday, I didn’t sleep well because we had a series of (harmless) storms
roll through all night. I kept getting
awakened by the wind and the thunder and the pouring rain, so I tossed and
turned a lot during the night.
It poured all the way to school, and then on the way back home, I got
stuck in some traffic on the highway because there was a horrible wreck that
had just happened. I always say a little
prayer of thanks when we arrive anywhere safely, but I was particularly
grateful to be home safe and sound after seeing that wreck.
It rained all morning long, so I settled in at my desk with my electric
blanket and some tea and I got to work.
I caught up on this post, I started and finished a post for next week,
and I got all caught up on my post for the end of the year. Last year, I got behind early on and it’s so
hard to come back from that once you’re that far behind!
I also got Olivia’s yearbook ad submitted, just in time, because it was
the last day we could send them in.
After school pickup, the kids and I headed home, and both kids got all
their school stuff put away and then prepped for their evenings ahead. Jacob had a get together with Teen Advisor
friends at the bowling alley/arcade and Olivia had a sleepover birthday party
to attend, so they were both excited.
Since both kids were going to be gone all evening, Brian and I finally
had the chance to go out to dinner, just the two of us, but our dinner
reservation wasn’t until 7:30, so I had a cup of tea and a snack to hold me
over until then. I did my quiet time
while I enjoyed my tea and then it was time to get freshened up and out the
door.
We dropped Olivia at her friend, Caroline’s, house first, and then we
dropped Jacob off at the bowling alley where he met up with his friend, WJ, who
was also sleeping over at our house later that night.
After the kids were where they were supposed to be, Brian and I headed
downtown to a new local bar to enjoy some cocktails before our dinner
reservation. The bar we chose has been
there for years, but the owners recently revamped and rebranded it to turn it
into a bar that has that OG hometown bar feel to it, and I loved it so
much. They put in pergolas to give the
ceilings a lower, cozy feel and they added a few pool tables, a photo booth, a
big mirror ball, and those big colorful Christmas lights, and it is such a
vibe.
Brian ordered a round of Manhattans for us, and we settled in at the back
corner table, all cozy. One of Brian’s
old friends is partial owner of the bar + several other bars/restaurants around
town, and we were talking about him when we got there, wondering if he’d be
around. He ended up popping in just a
few minutes after we sat down and he hung out with us the whole hour we were
there. We hadn’t seen him in a while, so
it was nice to catch up. We all used to
hang out all the time when Brian and I were dating and first married, but we’ve
all had kids and gotten crazy busy since then so we don’t see each other often
now.
B and I walked over to the newish Italian restaurant (that we’d already
been to a couple of times before) for our dinner reservation at 7:30 and we
were seated right away. There was a
crowd of people waiting for tables, so I was grateful we’d had the forethought
to make the res!
We ordered another round of Manhattans + their famous mozzarella sticks…
they come in a spicy vodka sauce with chili honey, and they are the best
mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had in my life.
They are divine.
For dinner, I opted for the Pesto Rigatoni since it was meatless, and it
was so delicious as well. I’m a HUGE fan
of basil, so pesto is one of my favorite sauces. I don’t ever make it at home, though, because
the kids are not on board with it.
Boooo.
Brian got the Lemon Mafaldi, and I tried a bite of his pasta, and it was
so delicious as well. We were so stuffed
by the time we were done, and we wrapped up just in time to grab the boys from
their adventures at nine.
They were still wrapping up at BK when we arrived, so we waited for them
to finish, and then the four of us headed home.
The boys headed upstairs to hang out, and Brian and I watched another
episode of Paradise before calling it a night.
Saturday, February 28
Saturday morning, I got up at 8:30 and headed downstairs to make myself
some scrambled eggs with cottage cheese for breakfast. I knew the boys would be sleeping in for much
longer, and since Olivia wasn’t home either, I didn’t make waffles.
I settled in to knock out some blog work after breakfast, and Brian
headed to pick up Olivia from her sleepover at 10 AM. I also got my planner ready for March since
it snuck up on me.
The boys were up around 10:30 AM and Brian and Olivia swung by the donut
shop to pick up donuts for them on the way home from her sleepover. Olivia told me aaaallll about her sleepover
and she was so excited because she got to spend some time with some of the
“older girls” (the girls in Jacob’s class) because her friend’s older sister is
in Jacob’s class and she had some of the girls over to sleep over, too. She said that they had a “2 AM tea time” and
all the older girls spilled all the secrets.
Haha. I’ve known all those girls
since they were in Pre-K4 and they’re such sweet girls so I was glad that
Olivia got to bond with them, too. Olivia
said that they were all so kind and they were giving the younger girls life
advice. The sweetest.
Once Olivia got settled back in after her sleepover, her friend, Maren’s,
mom texted me to see if Olivia wanted to sleep over at their house. Haha.
They were at the sleepover Friday night together, but Maren’s older
brother (who is also in Jacob’s class) was having a bunch of kids over for his
birthday Saturday night and Maren wanted to have a friend over, so she wasn’t
stuck alone with all the big kids.
Thankfully, we didn’t have much going on, so we told them yes and Olivia
was ecstatic.
She was also ecstatic because Saturday Brian and I got everything moved
around in her room to make room for her new vanity! She opted to hang it on the wall over her
desk so it wouldn’t take up precious desk space, so we had to remove her
bulletin board, rehang it over her bedside table, and then put the vanity over
her desk. That took a while – I did all
the measuring and Brian did the drilling and hanging, and we were done in about
an hour.
Olivia got to work cleaning and tidying her room and getting things
organized in there, and Brian and I had lunch together since none of the kids
were hungry yet.
After Olivia’s room was in order, she got showered and then in bed to
take a nap. My little girlfriend loves
her sleep, so she will put herself to bed when she knows she needs it. She ended up sleeping for two hours, so she
was refreshed and ready to go for her second sleepover.
Meanwhile, the boys played video games, and I got out for a
walk/jog. It was in the upper 60s on
Saturday, so I wore shorts and a tank top, and it felt so great! I’m so excited that spring is just around the
corner, y’all!
When I got home, I made lunch for the boys and then I watered the outdoor
plants, tidied the house, and threw in a load of laundry. I finally washed Maui’s bed and blankets that
she used in her last days of life. I
couldn’t bear to do it right after she passed away, and then the bed and
blankets smelled like her for months afterward, so I couldn’t bear to wash them
then either. They finally lost their
scent, so I finally got them out of my office, and it makes me so sad every
time I walk in there and see a big empty spot underneath my desk. :o(
On a happier note, we officially kept all our outdoor plants alive
through the winter! Every year, we have
always tossed our five ferns at the end of fall and just bought new ones at the
start of spring. They are usually
half-dead by the end of summer because our summers are so hot, and we don’t
really have a good place to store them in the winter to keep them out of the
cold, but this year, I was determined to keep them alive through the winter.
We left them out for some of it – all the days that it didn’t dip into
the 30s, and then Brian moved them into the garage for all the days that it was
really cold (which was more than usual this year). We’re not out of the woods yet as it could
still freeze again, but I’m hoping we’re close enough! All four of the ones on the front porch still
look great, and the one on the back porch looks pretty good, although a little
dry. We’re having a super warm spell for
at least the next week, so they’ve all been put back on the front porch and so
far they look happy!
After the boys were done eating lunch, Jacob and I drove WJ home, and
then we headed back home so Jacob could get showered and ready for the
day. I had just enough time to read my
devotional for the day and knock out some blog housekeeping, and then it was
time to get showered and ready for church.
On the way to church, we dropped Olivia off at Maren’s house, and I
stopped inside to say hi to her parents before we left. The boys and I went to Mass at 5:30 and I was
happy to see my Uncle Chris and Aunt Maureen there. We hadn’t seen them in a long time as they’ve
been living in another state to help take care of my cousin – the one who is
battling cancer.
We all went out to dinner after church, and it was nice to be able to
catch up with them. We ended up staying
later than usual, and by the time we got home, I was sleepy. I got in my pjs and the boys turned on a new
Star Wars show, and I was out like a light in just minutes.
Jacob went to bed a little before ten… he’d been up until 2:30 AM the
night before, so he was tired. After he
went to bed, B and I continued catching up on our backlog of Saturday Night
Live episodes.
Sunday, March 1
Sunday morning, the boys and I had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and then
I settled in at my desk to do my Sunday things… watching a sermon online,
getting my planner ready for the week ahead, transferring photos from my phone
to my computer, and getting them all organized.
Thankfully, this week the technology cooperated. ;o)
Brian went to pick up Olivia at 10:30 AM, and when she got home, she told
me all about her adventures with Maren.
They’d gotten to hang out with some of the girls in Jacob’s class again
since they were there at the party. She
said that they were both so tired from their sleepover Friday, that they fell
asleep at 10:30 PM and slept until 7:30 AM, so she ended up getting a full
night of sleep. Haha.
After Olivia got unpacked, the kids did their laundry, and I did some
laundry and tidied the house. I also
finallyyyy took the time to deep clean some more and I ended up cleaning the
blinds in my office + cleaning all the windows in my office and our
bedroom. It’s crazy how much lighter and
brighter the windows look. I also did my
spring clean of the plants in our bedroom… I got them all off the chest in our
bedroom and scrubbed the chest down, I clipped some of the dead leaves, and I
got them all arranged back in their happy place. Then, of course, I had to vacuum again after
stirring up all that dust, so I was a busy bee.
Brian had a tennis match early in the afternoon, so he headed there and the
kids and I had lunch shortly after he left.
I made the meal plan and grocery list for the week ahead after that, and
then I went out for a walk while the kids had some screen time.
It was 76 degrees and sunny Sunday, so I was sweating buckets when I got
home, but it felt soooo good. I’m really
enjoying this warm weather after a long, cold winter.
I got showered and ready for the day after my walk, and then I worked on
this blog post while I watched The Wedding Planner. I tackled a few other odds and ends around my
office after that, and then it was time to head to my parents’ house for Sunday
dinner.
We hung out over there all evening and then got the kids in bed early to
start the week out right! B and I watched
some more of our backlog of SNL, and I think we finally got all caught up! And y'all, SNL did a skit about The Wizard of Oz, and they had a live dog on there as Toto, and I swear, it looked just like Maui when she was younger, before she turned grey!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. I paid zero attention to the skit and just watched the dog the whole time because she was precious!
And now for some current things…

Reading
In January, I read 2 books – The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez (5
stars) and The Surrogate Mother by Frieda McFadden (3 stars – this was
probably my least favorite by her so far).
Abby Jimenez has become one of my favorite authors, though. Yes, her books are a little predictable, but
she has such a way of writing characters who are loveable and witty, and you
always find yourself rooting for them.
Her books aren’t too Hallmark-y or cheesy, and they have a little bit of
edge and a whole lot of sarcasm, which I love.
She and I must have very similar tastes because I fall in love with
every single male protagonist that she writes about.
I’m also still reading my new devotional for the year – Called by
Name: 365 Daily Devotions for Catholic Women by Kelly M. Wahlquist and I’m still
reading my Bible along with The Bible in a Year with Father Mike
Schmitz.
Currently
Watching
With B: In February, Brian and I started and finished Run Away, we
started the new season of Shrinking, we started and finished The
Girlfriend, we started the new season of Paradise, we watched some
of the Olympics here and there, and we’ve been watching our backlog of Saturday
Night Live.
With the Kids: In February, we watched The Grammys, we watched Is
It Cake? Valentine’s Day Edition, we watched Dumbo and Bambi
(apparently the kids wanted to make me cry – LOL), we watched the Super Bowl, we
watched The Truman Show, and we watched Jurassic Park 1 and 2. Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune
are also often on in the background in the evening after dinner.
Alone: I don’t watch anything during the week when I’m at home alone because
I always listen to music, but on Sunday afternoons, I always treat myself to a
movie while I work, and, of course, that movie lately has been… The Wedding
Planner. Bet you would have never
guessed that! Hahahaha.
Currently
Listening To
Honestly? A whole lot of Taylor
Swift. I just cannot quit her, y’all. It’s kind of ridiculous how I never get tired
of her music. I do sometimes listen to
lofi beats while I work, too. There are
a million different ones out there, but I always try to find some that have
good coffee house or cocktail jazz vibes.
Lofi hip hop is a whole vibe, too.
Happy Tuesday, y’all!
