A great week, even though my reading totals are still not fabulous.  But I did read and review two books that held me captive throughout.  I wrote two blog posts, and I finished viewing Brothers and Sisters.  Then I started And Just Like That on HBO MAX (I guess it is simply MAX now!).  

Let’s take a closer look at the week:

What a relief to have a better week, with two books read and reviewed, a couple of blog posts, and continued viewing of a favorite old show, Brothers and Sisters.

I am almost finished with my antibiotics, and I am feeling much better.

However, today as I type this post, I am increasingly frustrated with the Block Editor, which seemingly is out to get me.  LOL.  I hope you all can patiently wander through my updates.

My week has been slow in reading and blogging, but I continued to do some viewing of old favorites, like Brothers and Sisters.

Then I hit a bad patch and ended up all night Thursday at Urgent Care, with a skin infection that involved lots of tests and a discharge at 4:00 a.m.!  The doctor gave me the first dose of antibiotics via an IV, as the pharmacy was closed by then.  I got the rest of the meds the next morning by taking a Lyft to the pharmacy.  Sigh!

I am slowly improving, but believe me when I say be careful about scratches that might seem like nothing!

My update today is late because I am slowly getting better and not ready to do much typing.

I did read and review one book that was so good that I could scarcely put it down:

The Bird Hotel, by Joyce Maynard

I hope the upcoming week is much better!

As I finish reading and reviewing my second book of the week, I am pleased by how things are finally turning around.  I also wrote two blog posts.  I continued binge-watching One Tree Hill, and now I am on the seventh season.

I had no outings this week, but I did enjoy ordering food deliveries from the grocery store and from Uber Eats.  Having dinners delivered feels a bit like an outing.

Next week, I hope to enjoy some time with my granddaughter.

Here’s a peek at the details of my week:

Another lazy week, with only one book read and reviewed. I continue to binge-watch shows and movies, and currently I am enjoying an old favorite from long ago, One Tree Hill. I am now on Season Five.

Review: Homecoming, by Kate Morton

INCOMING BOOK:  All the Days of Summer, by Nancy Thayer (Currently Reading)

That was my week.  I am still reading very slowly and doing a lot of binge-watching.  I enjoyed a nice lunch out with an old friend this week, so I am loving how my time has been spent.

What did your week look like?

Another week has flown by.  Again I have been very slow with the reading, finishing only one book.  My binge-watching has continued, and I am now enjoying an old favorite, One Tree Hill.

I have been struggling with my knees again, so I went to the doctor for x-rays.  As I suspected, arthritis!  I am using a gel, which helps, and trying to walk and exercise more.  Sigh.  I do feel better already, however.  

Now that my family get-togethers are behind me, I am resuming lunches with friends.  Monday I will enjoy an outing with an old colleague.

Hopefully I will enjoy more reading this week!

REVIEW:  The Only Survivors, by Megan Miranda

That was my week. I’m hoping to do more reading and less binge-watching this week, but I am not sure how successful I will be!

Today I did a lot of laundry, as my outfits were in need of a wash! They are hanging in the shower.

I am hungry for Chinese food today. I cooked a frozen dinner this week:

This week was a good one, in that I enjoyed outings and a little bit of reading.  Yes, a very little bit, but the one book read and reviewed was a move in the right direction.

My family time was good, with a visit to the bank with my granddaughter, followed by a great lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

 

I also finished viewing the showThe Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Now I hope to read more this week, and do more viewing, too.  Maybe some blog posts as well.

What a week!  Last week, I completely missed posting an update, as I’ve been so busy with family events.  Which continued throughout this week.  Now I am ready to return to normalcy, but the reading is still very slow.  I stopped reading one book that was on my stack, but picked up another.  I haven’t completed it, though.  I’ve been binge-watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and hadn’t seen it since it was on the network.  I’m enjoying it, although the characters are kind of annoying at times, lol.

My Prague son was here and has now returned to his home.  My LA/Vegas son was also here, went up north again, but is returning one more time next week.  My youngest son was here on Wednesday, but missed seeing his brothers.  My daughter is on a cruise.  So the activities have been hit and miss, but there is always someone to spend time with.

Here is a peek at my week.

That was my week!  Family, viewing, and a few fun outings, like this “top down” ride in my No. 2 Son’s convertible.

Welcome to another week of updates, although this week has been slow in reading.  I have spent a lot of time viewing…and I wrote two blog posts.

Today is late for this update, too, so I’ll try to fill it with some exciting upcoming events.  My eldest son is back in the states from Prague, and he and my No. 2 son are traveling to Northern California before joining the rest of us in the Central Valley. Family time has been wonderful in the past few months, but it does curtail reading and other interior activities.

My viewing has been fun.  I finished watching The Fosters last week, and now I am on Season 4 of Good Trouble, the spin-off.

I can happily report that my accounts are all in order again, and I am eager to have them stay safe!

Let’s take a peek at the details of my week.

That was my week!  Slow and not full of much in the way of books and blogging.  I hope the upcoming week’s family activities will be enough to report on next week.

This week was a better one, and I managed to read and review two books.  I only wrote one blog post, however, as I was consumed by binge-watching the series The Fosters.

On Monday, I had lunch with a friend, which was a great way to go out on a day without rain.

I have continued to enjoy a relatively stress-free week, now that my accounts are in order!

I am eagerly anticipating another visit from my eldest son (the Praguelodyte!) in early April,  along with my No. 2 son who lives in Las Vegas.  He travels back and forth between Vegas and LA, as he has an Irish pub in the southern part of the state.

Now let’s take a peek at the details of the week.

That was my week.  In the days ahead, I hope to bring in food and supplies for my house guests, even though we will probably be eating out most of the time.  I am eager to enjoy the salmon dinners at one of my favorite restaurants.
