Ugh last week. I am so bummed out when I am sick and I was sick last week. My doctor thought that my asthma issues were a combo of my seasonal allergies with a developing cold/upper respiratory situation. And by Tuesday night, my body proved her right. And we all know how as an adult it is so hard to get the rest and care we need when we are sick! So we keep on trucking! I did take Wednesday “off” as much as I could – while Wyatt was at preschool I decided to not do a thing, and curled up back in my bed and watched a movie on Netflix – the Ted Bundy thing starring Zac Efron. It was really good, if you are into that sort of thing. It starts after he is arrested, so there is no real gore or killing, it focuses more on the trials and his relationship with his then girlfriend Liz. Not really a comfort movie but I had been wanting to watch it but I couldn’t do that with Wyatt around and I was afraid it might be too scary before bed. Lol. I am starting to finally feel better! I think I am going to start my regime of probiotics and honey every day starting now!

Read Last Week:

I started Endless Night and then House of Salt and Sorrows sort of took over. Lol. I have to finish Endless Night by Thursday’s book club so I can’t get distracted again! I really loved House of Salt and Sorrows – the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses is one of my favorites (my very favorite is The Wild Swans) so I enjoyed this macabre retelling. I also loved this world by the sea! I also read Death of a Ghost – I love dipping in and out of Hamish’s beloved Lochdubh!

Reading This Week:

I’m going to be finishing up Endless Night then starting these guys. I have been waiting for them both to come in from the library and they have finally arrived.

Book Review: The Vine Witch

A Girl’s Day Out in Midland

Watching:

Extremely Wicked and Shockingly Vile with Zac Efron, Criminal Minds, and we have started the Halloween cartoons for the season! We watched the Curious George Halloween movie, and are going to watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown tonight. We are also still watching the GBBO – semi-finals this week, so exciting!

Projects:

We always have different projects going and right now we are working on making peg doll gnomes (I make the gnomes, Billy makes the hats), and we are going to work on our pie making game. Inspired by the GBBO, I am getting my mom to help us throughout the next month or so making different kinds of pies, fruit and savory. I also checked out two books from the library that make my mouth water just flipping through them. I am going to attempt to make a pie for book club on Thursday – cross your fingers for me! I am a much better soup maker than I am baker! Do you have a favorite pie?

What about you? What is going on in your neighborhood?
