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 managed to get out of my reading rut early last week, got a nook, and made up my own Summer challenge.
I am currently reading
Snow
Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See: I think I am almost done, just a few more hours left. After getting my nook last week, I didn't get much listening done!
The
Lion's Game by Nelson DeMille: Soon as I finish my current read, I am promising myself that I will get back to this book.
One
Amazing Thing by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni: I finally got back to this book and will hopefully finish it today.
God Don't Like Ugly by Mary Monroe: I wanted to read some book on my nook, before I started splurging. This one caught my eye, as it was offered as a free book on Friday. So far, it is quite engrossing, which I didn't expect it to be.
