1. We had people over yesterday! That is a thing that hasn’t happened in months. We ate and laughed and watched The Boys and just had a great time. And our home is cleaner than it has been since before the Stay-at-Home order was put in place, so that’s nice. This was an especially stressful week at work, so it was nice to do something over the weekend that was completely distracting from all the drama. And to see friends again. It was perfect!
2. My mother ordered some Wolferman’s English muffins for herself and a friend and for me. I think they are the best English muffins, and I’ve been enjoying them greatly! I haven’t had Wolferman’s in years, so it’s quite a treat!
3. A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling burned out and stressed about my blog. I was frustrated and unmotivated, and I couldn’t figure out why. So I took a step back and started thinking about why I had started it in the first place. The reasons I have for blogging now have changed from back then (late 2014), but if I remember that I’m doing this for myself, for my enjoyment, then the stress rolls away. I can focus on what I want and set up boundaries to keep out unwanted drama, and just read the books I think I’ll like and talk about them. I don’t have to do more or be more. I am enough, my silly little blog is enough, and now, while I’m still getting enjoyment out of it, I’ll keep at it. If that changes in the future, I may stop. But for now, I will read on. Bring on the books!
