Welcome to Building the Book Pile!
Good afternoon! Happy Monday!
Yesterday I was just plain lazy and didn't take the time to get a Book Pile post up - sorry. I had some time today though and figured I would put in the work/ effort! Here is my weekly recap:
Monday: Back to the office for work. We had a Faculty/ Staff session about the impact politics are having on visas and things like that. Talked a lot of protocol as well. Being in a higher education setting right now is a bit difficult, but always hoping that our students are safe.
Tuesday - Wednesday: More office time and lots of meetings, I also came in and worked late those nights, so things got a bit thrown off at home. Luckily we have awesome people coming over to help Charlie (Frenchie) mid-day.
Thursday - Friday: I was WFH again with more meetings on Thursday. Then I stayed up late reading a book, I think I finally put it down at 1:30am (oops) so Getting up on Friday was hard, but my workload was lighter, so I spent time on some data projects and chores. I also took some time to have lunch outside on Friday, which Charlie loves. He has a little bed out there and was happy to bask in the sun.
Saturday: It was my partner and I's 15th wedding anniversary, sadly he had to pop into work though. It was SO nice out - in the 70s! So while he was gone I spent the morning weeding and prepping the garden beds. We can't really put anything in until ~Mother's day (aka safe frost date) but the 5 veggie beds are all set and ready for planting. The we went to a late lunch together and popped into the bookstore to grab some books. We spent the afternoon watching shows and reading together- it was really nice.
Sunday/ Easter: We had a chill day. We did some planning for the week - chores/ clean up/ meal plan etc. and then relaxed. It got SO windy so anything we wanted to do outside we just postponed for now. We don't really celebrate Easter, but I was texting with my family all day seeing what they go into - my Dad went golfing with my brother and my nephew was more excited about the Easter Bunny than Santa this year.
Bringing us to today(Monday)- back in the office and working... well writing this for now as a break, then back to work. Today was an email heavy morning and it has since slowed down, so I am prepping for the week of meetings ahead.
How was your week last week, any plans for this week?
Linking up this week with the Caffeinated Reviewer and her Sunday Post series.
