The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news; a post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
Sunday:
Today was a down-time day after Lex’s visit. We cleaned up a little bit and started getting ready for the upcoming work week. I worked on setting some goals and tasks for the week in the hopes that I can get into a groove with chores and life in general. Pretty bummed we have to wait 5 months for the new Stranger Things season.
Monday:
I’ve been in a funk the last few weeks. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that I’m experiencing perimenopause: increased anxiety, newfound insomnia, rage over the smallest things (such as the garage door refusing to close), and brain fog. Literally my free time was spent playing brain rot games on the couch and heavy sighing throughout the night.
Tuesday:
I was out in the field today for an audit. I’m entering my second year of auditing. I’m doing new things this year but am more confident. I still consider myself a baby auditor. Being in front of clients does drain my social battery slightly faster. I did not achieve a lot tonight. More brain rot game (why are there so many out there??) couch time. I’m frustrating myself with letting my reading fall to the wayside.
Wednesday:
We finished up our fieldwork halfway through the day. After work, I made tacos with the oddball stuff we had in the fridge. I think I’m starting to pull out of my current funk. I worked on goals and tasks for this weekend and next week. I read for a little bit. It wasn’t much, only 20 pages or so, but it was something.
Thursday:
Insomnia struck last night. I was up between 10:30 and 1:30. I did read for a little bit and that made it bearable. I spent some time shaping my blogging and reading goals too. If I can’t sleep it helps me out to be productive. Long day at work as I had an 8 hour CPE webinar to truck through. Read a bit more of my current book. When I got home, I put together some of the blog posts I want to work on in the upcoming week.
Friday:
Jeff had today off and he’s decided to become scuba certified for our cruise next year. Surprisingly there’s a dive instruction place about an hour and a half from us. We drove over today to get his basic gear. He has access to his course work and will have dives on weekends in July and August. Of course, this meant a trip to Barnes & Noble since we were in the same city! We also found a new restaurant and will definitely be going back. It was really good sushi rolls and hibachi; two favorites of ours.
Saturday:
Today was an odd and long day. I got up at my normal time and wanted to take on the world. I hauled all of my books from the last few weeks up to my library, labeled my Once Upon a Book Club haul and got a stack going in the guest room, started loading my Barnes & Noble digital library onto my GoodReads account, and emailed Barnes & Noble about the copy of Binding 13 that I received. Someone at the warehouse got a little heavy-handed with a boxcutter and scored the spine of the book. I have a replacement copy coming. Then I took a two hour “nap”, Jeff came home from work and we were all kind of just not all that interested in doing anything really. I did read a decent section of my current read but not where I wanted to be yet. I’m hoping I can catch up tomorrow. I worked on a few blog posts and called it a night.
