My Friday Five...

1. Tom Petty. Love his music. I'm listening to Time To Move On right now :)

2. Coffee with one sugar and two tbsp of Oat Milk. 

3. Journal books that inspire me to journal. I just bought one by a photographer who took a sabbatical for one year in England and his only criteria was that he must take one photo a day. He did this in 2012 and says it changed his life. I'm excited to read his journal and take in his photographs. 

4. Weight Watchers. I joined yesterday and I'm already liking having to be accountable for the foods I'm eating. It's really making me think about what I should eat instead of what I want to eat. Hmm...

5. Rilo Kiley. I'm listening to Jenny Lewis croon Silver Lining and loving it. 

Oh, I actually have a sixth today...

6. Tracy Chapman. Her first album is being rereleased on vinyl and I preordered it. It's getting delivered later today and I can't wait to listen to it on repeat all weekend long. 

Wishing you all lovely weekend filled with great reads and rockin' tunes. Happy reading!

Three Things...

1. Journaling. I miss it. I haven't been writing as much as I need to. So, That's something I need to work on. Plus, I haven't art journaled in ages, which I also miss. Ugh.

2. I'm hooked on The Wasp Trap. I've barely read a few chapters and already I'm trying to figure out what the mystery is and whodunit. Hmmm...

3. Aurora Teagarden marathon starts today on Hallmark Mystery channel and I'm ready for it. It's to kick off the new Aurora Teagarden film that comes out next week - I can't wait! I love this series, so I'm glad they carried on with it in a different way - still so much to watch!

And now, I'm off to do some work so I can relax later in the day. Happy reading!

Hopefully Tuesday's been good to you. Happy reading!

Monday Musings...

I just finished watching Tracker and LOVED the new episode. It was fun to see him meet up with a friend - yes, Colter has a friend! I'm missing Bobby and hoping he comes back soon. And, I'm glad they renewed for a third season. Anyone else loving Tracker?

I finally started All Fours and I'm taking my time with it. I'm looking forward to finding out what all the fuss is about. I did start a new book, The Hitchhikers by Chevy Stevens, but I just wasn't in the mood for hitchhiking murderers. So, yeah, I put it aside for another day. 

My office is still a huge mess. I just can't seem to get a handle on it, because mentally I'm just not feeling it. And, that is driving me bonkers. 

I realized something last week when I was chatting with an old friend. I have been taking milk thistle for decades - since I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis at 23. My doctor said it was a waste of time to take the supplement, but I disagreed. For some reason I just had faith in milk thistle - that it would help my liver function. And, even though I've had my ups and downs; and I've had to take steroids for years at a time - I've never stopped taking the milk thistle. So, how is it that I can maintain such a strong faith in that pill, but I can't seem to garner faith in/for something that will help with my mental health? What is that about? 

When did I become so easily influenced? I read about a character eating McDonalds and now I want McDonalds. LOL!

Alright, well, I'm off to tackle my to-do list. Hope you have a wonderful week! Happy reading!

My Friday Five...

 1. I loved this book - made me happy to be reading again. 

2. I finally watched Lady Bird and The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. If I had never seen either film I wouldn't have missed out on anything. However, I'm just happy to be watching movies again.

3. Chatting with an old friend for over 2 hours on the phone was a great way to cheer up the week.

4. Homemade breakfast burritos are the best thing ever!

5. Rainy days. 

Sending you all good vibes for the weekend ahead. Happy reading!
