It got busy this week! Lots going on at home, work, and otherwise as well. Life My daughter's school decided to close on Friday, along with several other schools in the area, with some being closed from Thursday. Not enough staff. The school had been on a mask mandate since the beginning of the pandemic, dropping it only for one week when the pandemic had appeared to have stabilized last year. And yet, they dropped the mandate completely at the beginning of this year, when cases were exponentially rising, only to bring it back again starting next week. I've gone from being very annoyed to angry to feeling fatigue in these first two weeks already. I won't lie - we all mask around here and try to avoid going where we don't have a need to be in, and still, we are not taking anything close to the extreme precaution we all took at the beginning of the pandemic. I cannot and don't want to keep my kids home - I have at least that much faith in the schools' precautions

I am currently reading
The Chopin Manuscript by Jeffery Deaver
(Audio book): Not much progress on this one yet! I hope to complete it this week! 
The Help by Kathryn Stockett:
One of the must-reads of 2010 finally in my hands!! I had been waiting for this book from last October, so it definitely feels good to finally be able to read it. So far, I am just a few pages in, but it's pretty engrossing!
The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch:
This thriller is told in reverse! The protagonist goes back in one hour increments to prevent a crime. The synopsis of this book is very interesting, and I had been on-hold for this one since it released in December.
Precious / Push by Sapphire:
This is another book I've been itching to read for some time. Only 192 pages. So I'll be hoping to read this one also this week!
