Welcome to another week of blogging, reading, and viewing.  I also spent hours of time updating my accounts with my new bank card info!  What a hassle the whole hacking thing has been.  Here’s hoping I will not have to go through this again.

Today I also finished reviewing my NetGalley ARC for April, but had trouble logging in to NetGalley.  Several password change attempts with no luck!  What’s up with that?  I will set aside entering that information for another day.  Meanwhile, you can find the review on Goodreads and Facebook.

I do feel as though I am in a Wasteland of passwords, user names, and Internet worries.  

Let’s take a peek at my one blog post and my review, and perhaps the upcoming week will be better!

Welcome to another Weekly Update.  This week, I actually read and reviewed two books, and they were both awesome. Between reading, I wrote two blog posts and did some more viewing on Switched at Birth.  The rest of the week was pretty horrendous, in that the rain came down rather violently at times.

I had some issues with my bank account being hacked, so I had to spend time at the bank setting up a new one!  I’m still waiting for my bank card, which was supposed to arrive today…but it was delayed.  Sigh.

I am not looking forward to all the hassle that goes with a new account, but I am trying to stay calm as I organize my new reality and try not to stress out too much.

Let’s take a peek at the details of the week:

Another week of reading and viewing, with only one book read and reviewed.  I also wrote just one blog post.  But, again, lots of viewing.  I binge-watched a show call All Rise, with three seasons…and one more to drop soon.

My favorite parts of the week, however, were more family time.  Three grandchildren joined me for lunch on Monday, and this weekend, my No. 2 son and another grandchild, along with my daughter, spent time together.  My son and I had dinner last night, and all of us had a great breakfast this morning.

The weather has been horrible, of course, and my son is headed back to LA, but has to take the long route because of the closure of the Grapevine.  Sigh.

We’ll have more family time next month, as my eldest son is coming again from Prague.

Now…let’s take a closer peek at the week.

Welcome to another week of updates.  Mine has been a lazy week, with viewing and a little blogging.  And one book currently reading.

I finally finished all eight seasons of Desperate Housewives, which I loved revisiting.  I wrote two blog posts and I am still currently reading my one book.

Let’s take a closer look at the week.

Welcome to another Weekly Updates.  Slow reading, but lots of viewing, especially old shows that I haven’t watched in ages, like Desperate Housewives!  I wrote two blog posts and finished reading one book.

I did some cooking again this week, and I’m enjoying using the oven, finally.  My granddaughter is planning to come over again this next week to cook…

The rain has died down, with a little sunshine reminding me that spring is on the way!

Another week has flown by, and happily my eye is better and I feel more like reading.  One book read and reviewed.  I wrote two blog posts, but I did some viewing, as usual.  I finished watching Murder in the First, on Hulu, and I am on Season III of Damages.  Both are shows I watched in the past, but I am loving them again.

Now I am ordering my grocery delivery and keeping one eye on my phone, which is how I know what items have been shopped. If something needs changing, they text me.

I do not know how I managed shopping back in the day!  I had to actually go to the store.  That all changed with the Pandemic, and also since I no longer have a car and don’t like the idea of grabbing a Lyft to shop.

Now…let’s take a closer look at my week.

What a rainy week we had!  We haven’t had flooding here, although some of the streets might be a bit full of water.  I haven’t been out at all.  My patio furniture keeps falling down, but so far, nothing is broken.  I enjoyed reading my two books and I wrote four blog posts.  I did a little viewing, like an old favorite British series called Last Tango in Halifax.  I like seeing shows and movies over again.

I am not sure what I’ll be reading next.  I started a couple of books on my Kindle, and for some reason, nothing really grabbed me.  Perhaps I’ll start one of the books on my hardcover stack.

Grab some coffee and take a closer peek at my week.

That was my week.  Today is another rainy one.  Yesterday was so nice and I was able to walk outside for a bit.  Not today.  Sigh.  I’m cleaning and doing laundry.  I have ordered more things from Amazon.  The Pandemic turned me into a “hoarder” of supplies, even though there aren’t the same shortages now.  I feel good having more than I might need, as having to order things means there is a slight delay before I can tuck them away in my cabinets.  A habit that will be hard to break.

We are having another family get-together next weekend.  Yay!

What has your week brought?

After a quiet New Year’s Eve, I hunkered down with my First Book of the Year and finished it in two days.  I also did some viewing of movies and shows:  You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Ginny and Georgia, Season I of Echoes, and The Best of Me.  I only wrote three blog posts, but I read a second book.

I then waited for an eagerly anticipated mail delivery…and it arrived on Wednesday.  The replacement Mary Engelbreit cookie jar that I have been missing since my move of 2019.

That was my week.  What did yours look like? I am currently reading Ms. Demeanor, by Elinor Lipman, and it is already fascinating.

I think the rain has slowed down for the next couple of days, so I can hurry and take the garbage out!  I hate sloshing through puddles.

Other than reading, not much will happen today, but I will find some more movies and shows to view.

Happy First Week of January!
