Right now I am: Getting ready to head to bed, but before that, I’m going to read more of my current historical romance novel.

Thinking and pondering: I should probably do a brain dump pretty soon.

On my bedside table: The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones, Lovely War by Julie Berry

On my tv this week: After returning, we catch up on the released episodes of The Boys, Lower Decks, and Archer.

Listening to: On the way back from Indiana, I listened to the rest of The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner read by Richard Armitage. Very good listen. I also snuck in a few episodes of Presidential, Pod Save America, and Currently Reading.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Chicken parmesan

• Tuesday - Swahili Fish with coconut rice

• Wednesday - Leftovers

• Thursday - Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Rice

• Friday - Lebanese Green Stew

• Saturday - Apple Grilled Cheese

• Sunday - Chicken Tortilla Soup

On my to do list: I need tp pay a few bills, organize W9 resources, and probably a million other little things.

Happening this week: Hopefully this coming week, we will be back to normal for a schedule… I do need to go to the grocery store and we’ll probably make a library stop. Otherwise, I’m hoping to stay home and get back to normal and clean my darn house.

What I am creating: Not much at all. I do hope to get to creating Christmas cards this coming. I need to get moving if I want to make my own cards like I do every year.

My simple pleasures: A cool breeze, warm cinnamon rolls, pumpkin patches, Quentin snuggles and laughs.

Looking around the house: Things are still very trashed right now… I really need to just go room by room this week and get things straightened out.

From the camera: Happy Birthday Quentin! He turned 4 on Saturday.
