Life: It Goes On - June 7

Happy Sunday! As I type, we are getting torrential rain, which will no doubt not last but it's nice to have. If it's going to be grey, I always want it to rain. 

We've had a very uneventful weekend. In the category of "you know you're getting old when," I talked the Big Guy into working on some chores upstairs on Friday evening that we've been putting off. Wild, right?!

Last Week I: 

Listened To: Sarah Waters' The Paying Guests. I've listened to it every chance I've gotten this week and I still have six hours left. 


Watched: Wake Up Dead Man, the latest in the Knives Out series. It's very different from the others in the series, but we both liked it. 


Read: I'm still plugging away at A Lesser Light. I'm liking it, but just can't seem to make myself pick it up. I need to rectify that this week as I have two books waiting to be picked up from the library. 


Made: First batch of caprese pasta with homegrown basil and farmer's market tomato of the season. It's officially summer! 


Enjoyed: So many dinners on the patio this week. It does make it hard to come back inside to get things done after we finish eating, though.

This Week I’m:  


Planning: We're planning on working on emptying my dad's storage unit this week.  There's not a lot left in it, but it does have boxes and boxes of my parents' memory binders that will move to my house for me to deconstruct. It's a slow process, but knowing I need to have the boxes out of my dining room before company in a month will keep me going. 


Thinking About: Some furniture I'd like to work on this summer, starting with a table that was BG's great-grandmother's. 


Feeling: Not gonna lie, with my parents' anniversary this week and my trip to Lincoln, it's been a tough week emotionally. 


Looking forward to: An upcoming four-day weekend. 


Question of the week: What is your best tip for getting yourself out of the blues?
