Last Week I:
Listened To: I finished People Person and started on Fredrik Backman's Bear Town. Both have terrific readers.
Watched: Um, only sports, I think.
Read: I realized that I had completely forgotten not one, but two, book tours in the past couple of weeks. I'm probably kicked off of both group's email lists now, deservedly so. Maybe then I could come close to keeping up with my reading.
I have been reading, though. Just not getting the reviews written. I promise to do better this week. My plan is to catch up with mini-reviews (except the two that I owe to publishers) and then, maybe, I can get back on track.
Made: Literally nothing. I don't even remember what we ate one single night.
Enjoyed: I took my dad out to eat Friday night, just the two of us. He flirted outrageously with the server and she brought his tea in a mug that said "Chick Magnet."
This Week I’m:
Thinking About: My parents' house. The less and less of them that is in the house, the harder it seems to be getting for me to be there. Maybe it's becoming more of a reality to me that it will not be ours soon.
Feeling: My vote never counts because of where I live; but I do it anyway because, once in a while, it has made a difference. I'm so grateful to those who got out and voted this week whose vote really did make a difference.
Looking forward to: Book club Tuesday.

I thought about getting some of our Christmas decorations out of the attic, too! At least the tree, so I can put the lights on it and light it in the evening.
ReplyDeleteI saw that it was cold there, but didn't know you got some snow. Brrr. I guess it's not really too early for the white stuff, is it?
I hope you enjoy Bear Town. I read the book (although I heard the audio is very good) and thought it was outstanding. I didn't expect to enjoy it as well as I did since I'm not interested in hockey. Fortunately, that's just a backdrop to the story.
I'm sure your parents are glad to see again all who have left, are leaving the house
