Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, step-mothers, godmothers, and mothers-to-be out there! Hope there's plenty of pampering planned for you today. 💖 Life I don't know about you guys but I am in need of a vacation. Not just a pack-my-bags, go-to-the-beach kind of vacation, but a day or two off of any kind of work and chores and worrying about things. I've been trying to take a day off work but have not been able to do that yet. I hope to do that this week but we'll see. This week, we enrolled our kids back at their swimming school. They've been open since last June with Covid-safe protocols. Obviously that was too early to resume activities, in my opinion, but we figured we were ready now. Both my kids enjoyed their classes and are happy to go to swim school.

Books on my nightstand
Two of the books on my nightstand are the same from last week - both are fabulous, and I'm hoping to finish them by middle of this week.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami: This is my first read (Ti's recommendation) for my Blogger Recommends feature. I'm only just halfway through this massive book, which is why it's taking me so long to read it but I just love it so much and can't wait to talk about it!.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley: This is the other book I chose to read for this year's Banned Books Week. I found the first couple of pages of this book very hard to read, but after that, it has been an almost-smooth reading. It's pretty disturbing both in theme and in the writing - I could easily call it a Halloween read as well, even though it isn't really horror (or is it).
