Meetings, decluttering, and contacting contractors about some needed repairs/remodeling took up most of my week. Writing didn’t happen, but I did get some spinning in.
Also, a look back at this week’s reading and blog posts, plus the weekly book haul!
I didn’t watch much of the Superbowl, but caught some of the commercials. We celebrated Valentine’s Day quietly, especially since it was also Ash Wednesday.

What I’ve been doing, reading, watching, and listening to in the past week… on the blog and in real life. Plus the weekly book haul!
I had three more Zoom meetings this week for the fiber guild. (That’s unusual; I rarely have more than one or two per month.) I have another Zoom this afternoon, this time a social with some friends from college. Other than that, I’ve been trying to catch up on a lot of stuff, from email to to-do lists.
In real life: work and lots of meetings. I finished up some requested changes to a work project and turned it in this week. I planned to go to a book club online on Tuesday evening, but I wasn’t feeling well. On Wednesday, I had several meetings on Zoom, and another on Thursday.
It was a relatively quiet week, uneventful except for a dentist appointment, a much-needed hair cut, and a couple of Zoom meetings. We did get a little snow on Monday, which made the woods look beautiful. It was followed by (barely) freezing rain on Tuesday. By barely, I mean it turned to slush rather than creating sheets of ice all over everything. Then the skies cleared and the temperatures plummeted…
I had fun at my fiber guild meeting on Saturday, and bought more yarn than I should have at the sale afterward. And I finally got everything unpacked from our month-long vacation in December, and put most of it away. I still have to find room for the books and the yarn and fiber, but I want to photograph and catalog them first.
We drove home over three days (Monday–Wednesday.) It was hard to leave, but also good to get home. I spent what was left of the week unpacking, doing laundry, catching up on email, and trying to bring some sort of organization to my various plans and goals for the next few months.
Happy New Year! It’s the last day of 2023; tomorrow starts a brand-new year. I am not ready for 2024, so bear with me whilst I get home and try to catch up!
We had a whirlwind week-before-Christmas, juggling family time and Christmas shopping, wrapping, and cooking. Today we have two church services: regular Sunday service in the morning and the Christmas Eve mass tonight. And we’ll put the farolitos out at my parents’ house; it’s a tradition on their street, and people come from all over town to view them.
