Whatnot – 03/23/22

My neighborhoodMy days are blurring together lately. Monday hits and then bam, it’s Friday and I have little recollection of how I got there. These Wednesday posts always seem to come out of nowhere but at least they remind me what day it is.

How are you all doing? I’ve been enjoying the fresh air lately and the scent of flowers blooming. The other day we had some light rain and everything was so fresh and green afterward but today and the next few days it’s supposed to be quite warm so I’ve got the windows open right now.

Hey, I’ve been cooking here and there. I haven’t really done much of that these past few months but with my son here, we’ve been eating out a lot and I am over it. That whole “what to eat?” conversation gets old. Fast. I’ve been making simple meals but it’s good to be eating home cooked food again.

I finished some books so now I need to get those reviews written. My goal is to have them scheduled for the end of this week and the beginning of next. That’s is the plan. I am so easily distracted by world events that anything can happen but both were good reads so I am eager to talk about them.

My neighbor down the street added a Little Library for kids. It’s so cute. There are books and toys in there. The pup and I checked it out the other day. So now I have two neighbors on my walk with Little Libraries. I REALLY want one of my own.

That’s it from me. Have a great rest of the week!

The Otter Pup and Root Beer, Napping

This has been a pretty warm week. Yesterday was 80 and today is expected to be close to that. I am not ready for the extreme heat that the next few months will bring. My daughter is loving it though. She has just been chilling in her room, watching movies, resting, etc. She heads back Saturday. My son continues to interview. It’s hard for his age group right now. The cost of living is a deciding factor with most of these interviews. If you can’t afford to pay rent on the salary being offered that’s an issue. Something will turn up. I’d rather he keep looking than accept something that won’t work.

Hey, tonight we have book club and we will be discussing Memorial Drive. We are meeting in person so I am very excited! Many of you told me it was an amazing read and you were not wrong. I’ve been feeling a little cooped up lately so it will be good to get out.

I’ve been trying to catch-up with my blog reading but if you have been reading a “must read” book, let me know what it is so I can add it to my list.

In regards to that ultrasound I had on Monday, the lump has not grown or changed. I have to go back in another six months and if it’s changed at all it will be biopsied. I would rather them just biopsy it.

That’s all I have. I hope the week is treating you all well. It’s still a weird time, isn’t it? Masks coming off and yet China is in lockdown again.
