Life: It Goes On - February 8

Happy Sunday! It's warm, it's sunny, and my back is finally starting to feel like I can function again. A week of being crippled by pain meant there was a lot of work to catch up on this weekend. I managed to vacuum, sweep, make beds; I did draw the line at moving a giant cabinet which I know I'll regret because I don't know when I'll get the Big Guy talked into doing it again. 

As you can see, I finally figured out a work around for inserting pictures. It's not as quick or easy as what I'm used to doing. But it works and, hopefully, ends several weeks of frustration. I think the frustration has greatly contributed to my lack of posting because I knew that I was just going to get upset about the system not working any time I sat down. We'll see. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding has been on my TBR for more than a decade and on my bookshelf for almost that long. I finally decided to see if I could find it on audio so I've been listening to it this week. I'm about five hours in and the jury is still out on this one, but I'll probably stick with it. 

Watched: F-1, starring Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem, college basketball, lots of Olympic coverage already, and tonight we'll be watching the Super Bowl, although we don't have a dog in the fight. 

Read: I finally started Diane Setterfield's Bellman and Black in print and I'm also reading A.D. Bell's The Bookbinder's Secret digitally. 

Made: Because I'm forever being tempted by recipes I find on social media, today I made a recipe called Frito Fruckies to munch while watching the game tonight. They still need to set up so I can't say yet if they'll be a repeat. 

Enjoyed: Dinner out last night with BG. It's the first time I've felt remotely like getting out of the house (other than for work) in over a week and it felt good.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: It's a week of paperwork and decluttering for me. 

Thinking About: How my watch tracks me. I never sleep with it on and yet it's telling me that I had a bad night's sleep last night. Did I? I felt like I slept great. Does my watch, that's not even on my body, know more than my brain does?!

Feeling: See above. I'm in much less pain and more productive so I'm feeling much better mentally. 

Looking forward to: Do I know what's on my calendar for this week? No, no I do not. I have been terrible of late in tracking what's on the calendar and what needs to be done. 

Question of the week: Will you be watching the Super Bowl? If so, who are you cheering for?
