Life: It Goes On - April 27

Happy Sunday! It's been quite a dreary weekend here and it's resulted in my battling a headache off and on for a few days (which is always a frustrating way to spend time away from work). I did manage to power through and get quite a bit done and to head off Friday to enjoy one of Omaha's fun things - Junkstock. Found so many things there that I really wanted but talked myself out of, thanks to all of the work I've done to pare down the amount of stuff we  own. There was a part of me that was grateful to my brain being rewired to reject bringing too much home and another part of me that was annoyed that my rewired brain made me leave behind some really cool things. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished The Hitchcock Hotel and started Samantha Irby's We Are Never Meeting In Real Life, which I will finish in the next couple of days. Then it's on to Anne Tyler's Vinegar Girl. 

Watched: Monday evening I had the t.v. to myself and watched The Life List, which I enjoyed - predictable but also sweet and funny and touching. Last night the Big Guy and I finally watched Glenn Powell in The Hitman. 

Read: I'm jumping back and forth between The Fairbanks Four and Peter Graham's Anne Perry And The Murder Of The Century. It's not often that I find myself reading two nonfiction books at the same time (plus listening to a nonfiction) and I'm not sure it's my best idea. May have to set one aside and read something light and fluffy to offset the heavier topics. 

Made: An adaptation of Ree Drummond's Chocolate Cereal Treats (she uses three kinds of cereal but we were never going to finish the three boxes of unfinished chocolate cereals so I only used one and I didn't include extra marshmallows). They're very tasty but I also got the ingredients to make traditional Rice Krispie treats, which I think I may actually like better. 

Enjoyed: Book club on Tuesday. Seeing some of "kids" at Junkstock, one of whom is the creator of the jewelry I'm addicted to (I may have splurged on another pair of earrings while I was there!) on Friday. Dinner out with friends on Saturday night.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: On getting to the greenhouse(s) this week so I can start getting my hands in the dirt!

Thinking About: Monday evening a 16yo died at the entrance to our neighborhood when a man ran a redlight. I heard the sirens that night and it reminded me of all of those years when I'd hear sirens and run a mental checklist of where all of my people were, trying to make sure that siren didn't involve any of them. I can't help but wonder if that girl's mother heard those sirens and did the same thing. My heart just breaks for her family. 

Feeling: Tired of grey days and cool temperatures. 

Looking forward to: Higher temps this week and time to starting bringing our outdoors back to life. 

Question of the week: I'm seeing a lot of people starting to bemoan the spring and the pollen and the approaching of summer. Whereas, I, of course, cannot wait for these seasons. How about you? Are you more of a cool weather or warm weather person?
