Thankful End of the week – It’s… been a thing…

LenadyLeave a comment

So, this has been a week. Not a bad week, just… very busy… and mentally taxing. This is actually the first thing I’ve felt up to writing in the last few days, just because I’ve felt so tired by the time I get home and get everything done. There were still some pretty good bright spots thought.

Brownies
It’s a little harder to find treats that are sugar-free, so when one turns out well I’m thrilled. Cue the brownies I this past weekend and which I’m trying out again today. I added chocolate chips to make them extra yummy

Vaccine dose 1!
Finally, the vaccine opened up for teachers and school workers in my area, so I’m sitting here, shoulder definitely sore, but a step closer to not having to worry quite as much about catching coronavirus.

New Music
As usual, I’ve found some new stuff this week and it’s definitely helped me find a happy place.

Sunny Sunday
You don’t realize how much you miss the sun until after a long stretch of dreariness. Last Sunday was absolutely beautiful and the first day I could tell a difference in the light. Things were a little brighter and it drew me out of the house for the first Sunday’s drive I’ve taken in months. It was even warm enough to be comfortable cracking the window for a while to let the fresh air in. There’s a while yet, but Spring’s on its way.

Daffodils
Speaking of, my daffodils were finally peaking up in the yard this week. Nice to see, since my crocuses have long ago been eaten by groundmoles.

Thankful Thursday – Spooky

Ah, it’s been a good week overall, with lots of little changes in the air. Lots of chaos in general… that’s kind of the world right now… a whirling ball of chaos… but at least a bit of it was good on my end. I’m trying to stay positive right now.

Dreams
I’m finally starting to be able to remember them again. For some reason they’ve been a hazy mess for the past few months, which was annoying, since I get some of my weirdest writing ideas from my dreams, and I love weird. For the last week or so though I’ve actually managed to remember them with some clarity. Crossing my fingers that that’ll continue and also won’t drift into the darker side of dreams since….

Halloween Season has begun!
Not that I have to have an excuse to indulge in the spookier side of things, but I love Halloween so much! I pulled my decorations out of storage yesterday and spent a bit of today starting the house’s transformation. 

Fall colors
Mother nature’s doing some transforming of her own. The colors are starting to noticeably shift from green to yellow and orange now. I had to take a lengthy trip for some routine car maintenance and it gave me the chance to see how much fall has started to take hold. 

Bingeable Podcasts
As nice as the foliage was, it still didn’t make the trip seem any less long. But the podcasts I loaded to my phone did! I’m almost caught up on Welcome to Nightvale and I got in a few minutes of the Penumbra Podcast– don’t know if it’ll be my next driving-to-work distraction, but it sounds interesting so far. 

Stories!
Continuing on with that theme, a lot of stories that I follow were updated and/or completed this week. Plus I discovered that Peacock has at least some of Elvira’s Movie Macabre. Bad horror movies just in time for spooky season.
