Reading ... in the Bible, Timothy and my favorite Psalms.
In other books I'm still slogging through War and Peace. It is rapidly becoming the bane of my existence. But I'm stubborn and am determined to get the entire thing read. I'm on page 920 so only a little over 470 more to go.
I'm also halfway through These Tangled Threads by Sarah Loudin Thomas. It's a cozy little read that has this way of being somewhat confusing because of the different points of view on top of different timelines. Essentially I'm trying to keep track of six different story lines. The title seems very appropriate for the story and also for the story telling. It's about a master weaver, an apprentice weaver, and a wood carver.. Set in Asheville NC, most specifically at Biltmore. Overall I am enjoying it though I don't think it will be one I have the urge to put on my want to own list.
Watching ... Sometimes after reading a book I really enjoyed I hop on YouTube and search for live reaction/read with me videos of that book. I enjoy seeing others react to the impactful or emotional parts and hearing their thoughts about the book. This week I watched a handful of those kinds of videos for Redeeming Love.
Listening ... to some soft instrumental music.
Baking ... Oatmeal Butterscotch Chip Cookies.
I like planning a weekly menu, and one night this week I had planned to make a lentil stew. Only, when I went to get the lentils the container was filled with miniature butterscotch chips instead. We are not a butterscotch loving family and I have zero recollection of buying the chips. But they were there, lentils were not. I pivoted and made a simple supper that did not involve lentils, and then decided to use the chips to make cookies.
Cooking ... tonight we're having a mish-mash of left overs. LV will be having leftover meatballs, succotash, and potatoes. Steven will be having a leftover bean burrito.
Feeling ... as if another round of sickness is niggling at me. Time to see if several doses of vinegar water will combat it effectively.
Disliking ... the news we received that LV's nephew and family lost their home in a fire. Thankfully they were able to jump out the window to safety, but they basically lost everything.
Another nephew set up a GoFundMe for them here.
Loving ... good friends, good books, and good food.
Playing ... no surprise I'm sure when I say a daily game of MtG was played. We also played Dutch Blitz and Fruit Punch.
Our week was a busy one so we didn't get as many games played as we had hoped to and we also didn't get into any of our longer or more complex games.
Cleaning ... I washed some curtains and cleaned and organized a few drawers. I didn't make as much of a dent in my cleaning list as I had hoped, but I'm okay with what I got done.
