I'm trying to get back to doing this more regularly as I find its a wonderful way to talk about books and be thoughtful about my choices.

What I finished reading

Empty Net by Toni Aleo, which I didn't finish. Its a contemporary hockey romance novel and I ate up the first three hundred or so pages but then it seemed to lag. It felt like the ( Read more... )

I'm dealing with some major head congestion but I'm slowly putting various things in motion. A big part of that has been more writing, I finished my

Life has been full with fact-checking and interviews because the job search is always present. Today I had a tough interview that I got through and feel like I presented myself as I wanted to in. I'm also reading a lot of good books and have finished a mix of great and okay books. Also last week, I saw Hal Holbrook's Mark Twain Tonight and the ( Read more... )

Today just seems to keep being weird for me, though I am accomplishing stuff. The movers are settled, so now I can focus on starting to sort and clean my place and arranging to shut off various services. My body is being awful and I don't know why. My ankle's been hurting quite badly and when I went to get lunch, I had a point where I thought I ( Read more... )

I always find it interesting to do this year in review meme so I'm going to post it as my sister in law and nieces play hearts. Life is feeling pretty good at this point. My banking stuff is finally sorted after another phone call where someone reversed the overdraft charges and sped up my credit for stolen money. It's progress which I'm grateful ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I fly off to California to celebrate my brother A's wedding and to enjoy Sonoma valley with all of my immediate family. We're going to be about two hours north of San Francisco and there's been talk of possibly a day trip or something to San Francisco. I know that a couple of my wonderful flisters live in that area and I'd love to meet up ( Read more... )

Today went far too long and its going to take me a while to recover. It was full of good and bad but the tiring parts outweighed the good ones. Class ended around four o'clock and I was aware of every minute of it, I like this class but its not terribly organized so sometimes it drags. Parts went fast but not all of them and I didn't get much to ( Read more... )

Walking to and from class today was exciting as apparently there are massive thunderstorms in the area and I didn't realize it until I was too far out my door. So I was rained on both ways and I'm still wet, but it was a good excuse to do my laundry and I have tea and soon will have toast. Oddly I'm feeling shaky and I think I know why so this is ( Read more... )
