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
This is a weekly event initially hosted by J. Kaye at J. Kaye's Book Blog, now by Sheila @ One Persons Journey through a world of Books, to celebrate what you are reading for the week as well as books completed the previous week.

I am currently reading
Snow
Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See: No progress on this, I need to take my rusty old iPod out and get back to listening!
Harry
Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: I am halfway through this book now and I'm hoping this will get me out of my reading funk!
The
Lion's Game by Nelson DeMille: So far, I didn't find this book as good as Plum
Island, but John Corey is still amazingly sarcastic and that's making for some good laughs.
One Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni: This is Chitra's first book that I am reading, and I'm finding her writing style quite engaging. So far, this book is going well, not amazing, but definitely interesting.
