Episode № 80 Immediate iPad Mini Success

Welcome back everybody!
Lady Jupiter Podcast is the audio accompaniment to LadyJupiter.com a lifestyle blog where I write about my family’s military life, our home life, and other tiny details that I just like to share. I’m happy that you’re here with me.
In this episode I’ll share an update on our life as affected by the U.S. military, then continue with a blog update, and wrap up with something domestic.

Today in our military-affected lives I have nothing significant to update.
The past week has been blissfully uneventful. Mister Jupiter is looking forward to some well-deserved time off, and we still don’t know where we’re moving next summer. We’re being loud about our preference, but also realistic about other options.

The nice thing about being an optimist is that we’ll definitely have fun wherever we go next. Because we’re probably going to live somewhere new-to-us, which means that we’ll need to do the work of finding essentials like Kid Jupiter’s favorite playground, our favorite coffee shop, the best ceviche in town - and so on. I’ll find my favorite things anywhere in the world - I just need to live there for a bit.

For today’s LadyJupiter.com update…I updated Attempting the Perfect PCS, Take Five - but that’s all.
The update was not very elegant, but it needed to be out in the world. I want a minimalist closet, but I don’t want to feel limited. It’s tricky. I’ll figure something out eventually - because I cannot expect our next closet to be as spacious as this one is. The sooner I downsize and simplify - the better.

And lastly something domestic.
I’m trying something new to kind of try to organize my brain and the endless thoughts. After comparing ReMarkable2 and SuperNote AGAIN, I decided to bite the bullet and get a 6th generation iPad Mini and pay $8 to use GoodNotes 5. So far I am really pleased.

GoodNotes is functioning well as digital paper, and I like having the content sync across my iPhone and MacBook. It’s not perfect, but I’m happy with it. On day one I was sorting information in chronological order, and making checklists for upcoming things. Getting this information laid out simply helped me see that the Air Force Ball is coming up and that I should look at dresses. And wouldn’t you know that the perfect dress was available in my size for that weekend - so I gasped and reflexively grabbed a credit card (of my cat-like reflexes, this is the one that Mister Jupiter likes the least).

I wouldn’t have dress shopped for another month if I couldn’t plainly lay out upcoming events and their specific to-do lists. And by then that dress probably wouldn’t be available - because I supposedly got the last one (in that size, for that weekend). But truly, we’ll never know what could have been because we don’t live in that universe.

Anyhoo - big thanks to the Redditor that suggested that combo in a SuperNote sub. I wouldn’t have found GoodNotes otherwise, and I’m enjoying it. Only time will tell how I will actually use this tablet. My last iPad was a 2019 iPad Air that I bought for drawing, but now it’s the “Netflix TV” and “Grandma Window” because we use it for its screen. So hopefully my purse-sized iPad Mini will be used for writing and drawing. If nothing else, I can at least annotate photos while Kid Jupiter watches Blippi.

And that’s it for today’s episode.
