It’s been back to reality this week. Gage went back to school on Tuesday and by the time he came home from school on Friday he was sick. So, he’ll miss another day tomorrow. I’m hoping we can get him healed up by Tuesday. I’m still not entirely sure what kind of ick we’re dealing with.

But I was able to get some home projects done/started in the few days when I had the house to myself (Jason worked from home on Thursday and Friday so that also threw things off). And I had lunch with a friend which was nice.

Oh, and I hit 1000 followers on Instagram. I didn’t start using IG for books, but for the past few years it’s mainly been me tracking what I read. I don’t exactly feel like it’s an accomplishment because it wasn’t a goal I had, but I think it’s pretty cool. I did start noticing a few months ago when I hit the 950 mark and was only a few away at the end of the year.

Books

I finished all three books above and got them reviewed! A goal of mine this year.

I’m currently reading Autism Is Not A Disease: the Politics of Neurodiversity by Jodie Hare and Happiness Falls by Angie Kim

Movies

We went to the movies with friends on Monday and saw Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It was good and I loved listening to Keanu Reeves as Shadow.

I watched Lonely Planet on Netflix and liked the offbeat feel of it, just as a movie about writers should be.

Last night I watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. I thought it was a nice modernizing of the original. And I loved seeing most of the original Ghostbusters and where they are today. Not going to be on anyone’s favorite list but, for nostalgia, it’s a win.

This Weekend

Trying to heal up this kid and stay healthy myself!
