It’s been a week…the good news is I’m starting to be on the mend after pretty much losing my voice. Here’s hoping it works for a speech I’m giving next week.
As mentioned earlier, this week’s guest on Before Breakfast was Corinne Low, author of Having it All. We had a great conversation.
The short episodes touched on topics related to the 2000th episode celebration. We talked about how to “Make your mornings magical,” and about how to “Get the flywheel going.” I reminded people that “All time matters.”
Over at Vanderhacks (my Substack newsletter) I wrote about why you should “Get good gear” going into winter. Behind the paywall I talked about “How to capture your sneaky to-dos,” and “My Fall Fun List follow-up.”
This weekend will actually be relatively chill compared to recent ones. No more flag football or baseball! Just basketball. And a robotics tournament, and tennis, and a Court of Honor for scouts, but those leave a fair amount of time. On my list might be to go mattress shopping. My current mattress is 15 years old and it appears from what I am reading online that this is a bit old for mattresses. I am not terribly excited about shopping for a new one but so it goes. Recommendations are welcome!


You’re supposed to get a new mattress after 15y????? Oops. OTOH what a lovely excuse to replace my old mattress that my dog peed on that now has a gross stain on it. It still is awfully comfy though…
@Sesb – well, hey, if it’s still working and doesn’t smell too bad…but mine has a Laura-shaped divot in it so I think that’s a sign it’s time…
All our recent mattress have come from Amazon and we love them! It was a much cheaper option than anything retail we found even with all the crazy deals/sales that mattress stores seem to love to hold.
@Melissa – I do love the idea of just buying online but aren’t you supposed to test them out? I wish I could just replace my old one with the same thing but apparently they’re not made anymore (after, well, 15 years…)
