This week has been on the slow side for me which is sort of nice. I haven’t gotten much reading done but the house is clean and the fridge is stocked. I don’t know about you but I can’t completely unwind when I know that there is laundry to do or shopping to be done so now that that’s out-of-the-way perhaps I can sit a bit.
Nope. My daughter has a girlfriend coming over to play for a couple of hours so my plans to relax may not happen for a couple of more hours.
On a happy note, I got my tickets to the panels that I plan to attend at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books which is next weekend. Their site has been down all day long so don’t expect that link to work, but I printed off what I needed the night before (whew!) and went straight to Ticketmaster to get my tickets. I purchased way more than I plan to attend but I like to have options. Once the day arrives, I may change my mind so it’s good to be prepared. A bunch of us bloggers plan to meet-up and hopefully have dinner afterward. It promises to be a good time.
Next weekend is also when The Hub moves the family business. Yep, he is doing this while I am at the Festival of Books (how dare he!). Anyway, he’s all stressed and sort of crabby and he’ll be gone much of the week packing and tossing and doing what you do to move a business that has been in the same location for 25+ years. It’s going to be a rough weekend but hopefully there won’t be any huge issues and things will go smoothly.
Today I plan to finish This World That We Live In and then write-up my post for Wuthering Heights Wednesday which is proving to be much more enjoyable than I anticipated. I have many books to read but if this headache does not go away I may not pick up another book tonight. I need to be in tip-top shape for next weekend so I am taking some extra C’s and hoping that this headache is just that, and not the sign of something to come.
What about you? What are you doing today and do you have anything interesting planned for the week?
Oh, and what do you think about that volcano? All of the Pfeffer books come to mind and this volcano makes me want to go out and buy a lot of canned goods (even though I am nowhere near the volcano).
Book Chatter 
Yay for the Festival of Books! Can’t wait for next weekend.
i just bought my tickets, too…there will be some last minute decisions on which ones to attend! see you soon!
We’ve had a pretty lazy weekend. We have a friend who’s stuck in Europe because of the volcano. He was told to go to Barcelona because he might be able to get out of there on Tuesday and now they’ve shut that airport down.
I think it is great that you’ll be MIA during the big move … I bet that is going to be stressful!
The aftermath caused by the volcano is unsettling to say the least. I am so glad I am not in Europe waiting to get back home.
Have fun at the book festival Ti.
I know being stuck in Europe due to the volcanic ash is a real problem for many people, but I find the thought of an extra few days in Europe an appealing thought ….
This is book club week for me — Monday & Wednesday. Wednesday is a classics group and we are discussing Crime & Punishment — I still have about a hundred pages left to go
Sounds like you have a lot going on. I sure hope things run smoothly for your husband and I hope that you have a great time next weekend.
Oh, I’ve always wanted to go to the Festival of Books! Maybe next year!
Have a great time at the Festival of Books. I can’t wait to hear about the highlights. Good luck to your husband with the move!
Maybe not near the volcano but add that to the massive amounts of big earthquakes we’ve been experiencing, unprecedented rainfall, unprecedented snowfall and it does make you want to make a trip to Sam’s Club or Costco for cases and cases of foods and water!
