I read my book for like, 2 total hours this week. I call that a sorta win for the season. Better than nothin. 😂 I’m still really invested and want to read more. It’s Gone Tonight by Sarah Pekkanon.
Also, binged all of Based on a True Story on Peacock, I think. Over the last couple weeks. Short episodes and unique. And, I thought I was no longer into Virgin River. It was feeling soapy to me so I never picked it back up when the 2nd season came out. But, I’ve picked it back up. And I can’t stop watching it. And it’s still kind of sappy and soapy and for some reason, I’m into it again? 🤣
Otherwise, way over booked on the sports and school stuff. And crafty decorating I have no time for. I just wanna take a nice fall walk. Collect some leaves. Watch some movies. Finish our seasonal book, Bunnicula. Slow down and cuddle and take it in.
