As I look outside my window: It’s overcast and a bit drizzly. Definitely a change from the days of sun and 90 degrees last week.

Right now I am: Sitting outside enjoying the cooler weather and drinking my coffee. I imagine that I will have to go in soon if the drizzle really turns to rain, but it’s nice right now.

Thinking and pondering: What book should I read next? Maybe one of the two below or something completely different.

On my bedside table: Wrapped Up in You by Jill Shalvis; Vampiric Vacation by Kiersten White

On my tv this week: J and I finished S3 of The Witcher while continuing to watch What We Do in the Shadows S5, The Righteous Gemstones S3, and Foundation S2. We also watched The Blackening, Loved this flip on the horror genre.

Listening to: I just discovered Nita Strauss’s new album and it is amazing. I’ve been listening to it nonstop.
