As I look outside my window: It’s a bit gray and overcast. No rain today, but looks like the forecast is calling for rain tomorrow.

Right now I am: Cleaning up the dining room/kitchen, updating my planner, and generally checking in before I go take a shower.

On my bedside table: Lies, Damned Lies, and History by Jodi Taylor; A Magical Match by Juliet Blackwell

On my tv this week: I finally finished UnReal S4. Totally called that ending. J and I watched Jack Whitehall Travels with My Father S2.

Listening to: Not much at all. Transcription projects? That’s about it.

My simple pleasures: Nothing much this week at all. It’s been a really long week. I’m ready for Monday and the start of some sort of schedule.

Looking around the house: Nothing has been done at all this past week. Really hoping to get the master bedroom sorted today asI would really like to put away my clothes.

From the camera: Q loved this blowup Marshal at the neighbor’s house. I seriously had to pull him away from it.
