I bought some books! I'm planning to read C.J. Sansom's Tudor era mysteries, the Matthew Shardlake Series. I found a good deal on the first book, Dissolution, a few weeks ago, and when I saw that my used bookstore had the next three books in the series, I snatched them up. Sovereign by C.J. SansomDark … Continue reading Book Haul: 10/15/2020

Book Haul, via Iceland
I don't buy many souvenirs when I travel. My photographs serve that purpose well enough for me, and I pack so lightly that I don't have room for extra things. But I will seek out bookstores wherever I go and buy myself a book or two, and I try to find books that relate to … Continue reading Book Haul, via Iceland

This week was not as terrible as I thought it would be. We weren't as busy at work as I thought we were going to be, so that made the week far less stressful, but I was so tired by the time Friday rolled around that I didn't want to bother with making dinner. I … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up
July Summary and August Preview
We're in the back half of summer now. The kids are grudgingly getting ready to go back to school, and the teachers are dragging their feet even more than their students are. I'm looking forward to cooler days and the chance to go outside more often without worrying about melting. Summer is definitely not my … Continue reading July Summary and August Preview
