This past week was a blur. I had THE WORSE HEAD COLD ever. I thought I had it under control at one point and then it went south from there. Two and half days off from work, with me coming back to (what felt like) a zillion tasks left me completely out-of-it come Saturday. But, after getting reacquainted with my Neti Pot, and finding the right combination of meds, I am back in the land of the living.

With the week the way it was, I wasn’t able to connect with some of you. I tried to at one point and got about half way through my reader and then just couldn’t look at the screen any longer. I will be catching up with all of you between today and tomorrow. I look forward to reading about what you’ve all been up to.

As for reading, I finished what will probably be my favorite book of the year. I have yet to write-up the review, but I hope to get it out this week. I was laughing and crying at the same time. It was wonderful. Next up, Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground and Perrotta’s The Leftovers.

No plans today. Yet.

I’ve had coffee.

I’ve bathed the Otter Pup (our puppy Chloe). I don’t think we could possibly love a dog more. Here’s a recent photo of her, just after her bath.

School starts on Wednesday and Thursday for my kids so we may hit Ventura today, or Old Town Pasadena, or…  Not sure yet but we’ll be going somewhere.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
