Hello, Lovelies, and Happy Sunday, I hope you’re all doing well! It’s the first Sunday of October and it’s still so hot. It reached 98º yesterday and I’m just over the heat. They’re calling for storms on Tuesday, which should bring about a cool down. Hopefully, we finally get some fall weather next week.

 

Here’s what’s been going on this week.

 

I was down with food poisoning Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so it was a rather rough start to the week. I was finally feeling better Thursday and I was able to finish a lengthy work project earlier than expected, which was great seeing as I have another lengthy work project starting next week. I spent Friday having a bit of a kitchen clear out and ended up filling several large garbage bags with plastic containers that I no longer use as I’ve switched over to glass. I also organized some of my baking equipment. I still need to tackle the spices and my baking supplies but I’m waiting for my containers to arrive. Saturday, I had a bit of a lazy day, which was needed.

 

Health-wise, my Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos is playing up a bit. I had a feeling it was going to since I had food poisoning. While I haven’t had any subluxations this week, my joints have been extremely loose and painful so I’ve used a lot of braces in the last couple days. By Saturday, I was completely drained and napped a lot.

 

Here’s What I’ve read this week

I finished Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell (audio), The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston (print), A Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths (print).

 

Currently Reading: The Outcast Dead by Elly Griffiths and Witches of Dubious Origins by Jenn McKinlay

 

Also reading: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I’ve been loving this ‘real time’ readalong and I read chapters 11-14 this week. The book completely changes once you re-read it because there’s so many things going on that some connections don’t register until you’ve read the entire series then went back and started at the beginning. I have to say that Deborah Harkness is one of my favorite authors. Her writing is just so rich and descriptive.
