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
The exciting part of last week was getting my new Droid X. I love love LOVE it! I spent whole of Friday browsing it and adding app after app, organizing and reorganizing it. So far, I think it's really sleek, dashing and extraordinarily handsome! Any ideas for a name are welcome! (Of course, it should be a handsome and seducing name too!) One thing I was disappointed about with the iPhone, was its touch screen. It didn't respond as well to my touch (although my friends disagreed with me). Maybe, but I hate having to tap twice or harder just to get a response. I loved how easy it was to navigate on the Droid X. I got so addicted to the touch screen, that I've been chatting on it instead of PC, even though my laptop was right beside me. The other wonderful thing was that I have set Google Voice on it, so I get all the benefits of Google voice in addition to limited minute usage! So any Droid users out there? What are you favorite apps - esp the bookish ones?
Yeah, so a new house, a new car and now a new mobile - I'm finally broke. I had to wait till payday to pay off my bills. It wasn't that drastic, but I'm not used to seeing the number on my accounts as they stand now. I slowed down my book purchasing too, which is silly because I have some gift cards waiting to be spent.
Anyways, I'm hoping for a more "normal", saner week! Happy reading and Happy blogging!

I have the iPhone and I absolutely love it -- that's weird that you had to tap on harder! I have so many apps on there, and I had to reorganize and delete a ton of stuff -- I was a tad bit too addicted to some of the silly games!
Sounds like a good week, despite the reading slump....settling in takes a lot of energy.

Good luck with getting into a routine! I know how disruptive a lack of a routine can be.
