snapshot 8.23

Well, last week did not go as planned. I worked overtime 4 days out of 5 and was dealing with a sinus infection (or two?) and upper respiratory issues. I took some time in the evenings to rest and recharge. I’m doing better, but this will be a stressful week as well, so we’ll see what happens.

I have been listening to the new Emma Lord, For the Record. It’s a lot of fun. Rival teen pop stars are now grown up and trying to jumpstart solo careers. They both had their reasons for leaving the spotlight when they were younger, and now they’re ready to put themselves out there again. But the label wants them to pool their talents and make an album of duets. But under all that music is genuine feelings for each other, of course. It is a rom com, after all. But it’s smart and sassy and lots of fun to listen to. I’ll try to talk more about it this week.

You know, next weekend is a 3-dayer. It would be a great time to head to your favorite bookstore and buy a stack to enjoy over the long weekend. Nothing better than a bonus book day, for those of us who get Labor Day off. Enjoy!
