Building the Book Pile #517

Welcome to Building the Book Pile!

Hi! Happy Sunday!

Hope everyone had a great week!

Weekly re-cap:

Monday - Wednesday were a bit of a blur, I had so many meetings and work was busy. We are in that time of year where we are wrapping one cycle and planning for the next in tandem - so there is just a lot of little things going on.

On Tuesday, we went to the local pub for dinner after the crazy day.

On Wednesday, I worked from home for the pets. The Hubs is normally somewhat WFH on Wednesday to let them out midday, but he is going away today for 2 weeks so he had a lot of work to finish out before leaving. It was a bit rainy, which was good for the drought we are experiencing, but work was busy again.

Thursday I was working from home and it was really rainy. The vibe was really pulling me to stop working and just read a book or nap but I couldn't. I was able to get through a bunch of my to do list while the dogs napped under my desk.

Friday I was work from home again and luckily the meetings were much lighter. I was able to get some laundry done in between work tasks and finally get to some data-clean up done that falls down the priority list when other things are going on. We ended up going out to eat because we didn't feel like cooking.

Saturday we spent the day just taking it easy, running some last minute errands, and packing up the Hubs for his trip. We watch the reboot of Anaconda... it was ok, I appreciate them making fun of the original a bit.

Today - I need to write some reviews for the upcoming week and I hope to finish the book that I am reading. I also need to prep for the week - so meal planning and going to the grocery store. I am bringing Hubs to the bus today to start his trip down to the airport, so there is more for me to do.
