Happy Wednesday! I hope this finds you well. As soon as I hit the mid-week mark, I feel as if the rest of the week is doable. As you can see, my pup has no issues with any day of the week. She spends it just like this. Snoozing in the sun, staring at me, until I pick my book up for our lunch time reading session. 

This week we’ve been walking a little more. I feel best when I am a bit tuckered out from walking and lately, it’s gotten much easier and that may be why I’ve been a little anxious. Adding some distance and possibly a second walk with an audio book. 

Tonight my daughter has Senior Recognition Night which is scheduled to be outside on the football field. I’m just glad that she’s getting something. No prom. Grad night is not hosted through the school at all. They sent a link for Universal Studios who is hosting grad night for several of the high schools and offered students a deal if they wanted to go. She will be doing that with a friend next week. Although the tickets sold out before all her friends could buy theirs which is kind of a bummer. 

My review for Dear Edward posted yesterday in case you missed it. I am currently about half way through The Invisible Husband of Frick Island which I am liking a lot. My next read is undecided but I am wanting a thriller, I think. 

This week has been taken up with TB testing, fingerprinting, a drug test and loads of paperwork for my daughter’s new job as a camp counselor. None of this is done in the same location, of course and the TB test took a little bit of coordinating since it had to be read a couple of days later and she has all these end of the year activities on the calendar. I think we have a handle on it now. She is very excited to have this opportunity. She just loves to work with kids. 

My house is needing a little TLC and I am needing to keep my hands busy so I think I will start purging again. The garage is always such a disaster. I may start tomorrow. I do love it when it’s all organized. 

Tell me what you are doing this week or if you have any plans for the weekend. I do not know what we are doing this weekend yet. 

Good morning!  Look at these beautiful roses! On one on my walks this week, my head was filled with too many things and I was looking down at the ground the entire way. I saw these beautiful rose petals on the ground and thought, there aren’t any roses here. Then, I looked up. My neighbor’s roses were peeking out over her high wall. I love these little reminders. Always look up. That beautiful coral color against that blue sky instantly cheered me up. 

The school year is quickly winding down. Two graduations to look forward to, a musical production of Sweeney Todd which we all really hope can be performed live, a wedding anniversary coming up, not to mention Memorial Day weekend at the end of the month. These are all things we are looking forward to. After having nothing on the calendar for so long, it seems a little overwhelming but also exciting. 

On the reading front, I am still reading or plan to read these titles:

• Dear Edward for book club. 
• The Invisible Husband of Frick Island for a media push. 
• The Last Thing He Told Me for Reese’s book club but also because you all have raved about it. 

Last week was lost due to not feeling great but it reminded me how easy it is to fall behind with my reading goals so a little more effort will be spent this week to get back on track. A little more planning, a little more organizing. I’m a mood reader too so I need many titles as back-ups just in case my current read isn’t working for me. 

I posted my 10 Books of Summer list yesterday. Stop by if you missed it!

We had a little surprise yesterday. I was in a Zoom work meeting and the pup started to go off but like she knew who it was coming towards the door. In walks THE BOY. He surprised us all. He came down to finalize his car loan and to hopefully get a car today. He needs another for Kansas. His beloved Honda Pilot has 300K miles on it. Cross your fingers, think good thoughts, pray, toss salt over your shoulder. Thank you. After that he needs to go back to San Luis Obispo to finish his school year and work a bit more, then he will be here for a little bit before he leaves for Kansas. 

Oh! My daughter was selected to be a summer camp counselor so thank you for the good thoughts! It’s the perfect first job for her!

Off to see what work has in store for me. Have a good day!
