Well I had no big goals or small goals for this month so the checkups will look a bit different i guess. I took a little time off this past week and it was great. It definitely was not enough and I am hoping to take a bunch more time off over the next two weeks, we’ll see if I can pull it off.
I did a few more items on my list:
More tidying up: Go through most of the ikea next to my desk, Clean out the foosball table (over and under), Go through David’s kitchen drawer.
Health: Moisturize every night
Learn stuff: Learn to use Jski more progress on this!
Take care of my people + myself: Help A with AP stuff and Take time off, go to laser place, hang out with David.
I’ve been feeling all over the place so I am giving myself grace. Let’s see what I navigate this week.
Here’s to another week. Paying attention. Savoring and living in awe. And taking steps to move onward.
Keefe is truly excellent. His writing is impeccable, his story telling is excellent and you can’t help but get wrapped up in it. How our kids can become true strangers to us… You won’t want to miss this one.

Health: Moisturize every night
Learn stuff: progress on jski and the class

I just adore Abby Jimenez and find that her books are perfect on audio for me. Once I started this today I didn’t want to do anything else. I just wanted to listen and listen and listen. So I did. All the way to the end. And it didn’t disappoint for one minute.
This was a long long long audiobook. I started and stopped it a few times but for some reason i decided this was the week to really sink my teeth into it. And I am so glad I did. I really enjoyed it, especially the class/school parts and could have listened for a while more. Not sure if I will read the next one but glad I read this one!
ok rounding this one up from 3.5 stars as it wasn’t my favorite of the Hawtorne novels but I still loved it and didn’t see some of the twists coming. I also really liked the hints in this one that gave us a bit more sneak peek into Hawthorne’s own past. Curious to see if that will come fully in a future story. Love Horowitz so much!
I didn’t love this one as much as the first since there was a bunch more yearning but it was still fun and easy read and kept my interest the whole time and ended the story in a satisfactory way. This was a fun duology.
I was not prepared for how sad this book is. There are three sections in this book and they are all sad in their own way. Despite being able to guess some of the twists, I kept waiting for more horrible things to happen because Picoult has conditioned me to always assume the worst. Thankfully it didn’t go where I was most worried it would. But especially as a mom and as someone who lived in NYC during 9/11 this was a hard book to read.
This was a short and sad story about a man who has served time and is released from prison, consistently insisting that he hasn’t committed the crime. And a policeman who finally decides to get curious. It has so much sadness.
It shows how hard it can be to start over again, even when you have support, even when some people believe you. And how your own belief in yourself can both help and hurt. And how sometimes it’s best to just move on and not look backward no matter what.
