A Busy Day at the Coehlo Household

Today was a busy one around here. I’m still learning how to balance my meals to get in all the protein and healthy fats I need each day, and somehow that process makes the day feel full before it even begins. On top of that, I spent a good chunk of time working on our 2026 household budget — not the most thrilling task, but satisfying when the numbers line up.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, I made a pot of zucchini soup. The house smelled wonderful just in time for company — our friends Artie and Shelly, who are visiting with us. Shelly is Jeremy’s mom (our daughter Megan’s mother-in-law), and her daughter, NaTasha, came by today as well. We enjoyed a relaxed late dinner filled with conversation before everyone drifted off to bed.

Everyone, that is, except me. I got caught up in visiting and meal prep and nearly forgot to write tonight. So here I am, sneaking in a few quiet lines before turning out the lights.

Just a quick note to say hi — and goodnight. 🌙
