Finally Friday

Another time warped week -- days are short, week is long.  All week I dropped a day and kept thinking it was a day later.

But, it's finally Friday.

Ironically, this Friday is my least favorite day of this week and will probably be a difficult W30 day.  No workout (absolutely need a rest day), up early (been waking up consistently at 4:30), electrician at 7:30 this morning -- this is going to make for the LONGEST day.  Long, boring day = bored = want to snack.

BUT ... the friend-fast is over.  Next week I have friends again - hah.  Hike, breakfast, lunch, book club.  Also, if hubby's back is okay, I'll have a 4 day weekend to myself.  It's my last weekend of W30 and probably good that the freedom AND end of W30 wasn't the same weekend.  That might have been a swan dive into nothing good.

Speaking of W30 -- big milestone number today, Day 20.  10 more days.  (Technically 11, but whatever!!)

I decided on a fabric for the bench cushion.  I liked the lighter tan-ish color, but wasn't confident so I asked the PB "friend" who helped me order sofas, etc.  She said either, but the lighter allows better pillow color options.  Lighter it is ... so excited.  I like the lighter because it seemed less matchy-patchy.





Remember the 3 things I wanted to do while I had my bored weeks?  (1) Electrician = today.  (2) Cushion = ordered.  (3) Mirror painted = painter is on vacation until next week, but then moving forward.  (+) ME = good girl LOL.  All 3 of those things would be things I'd procrastinate FOREVER.  Glad I pushed forward.

I have a new podcast on my listen list.  Warning ... not for everyone.  She's sassy and has a filthy mouth, but it's funny.  I have to be in the mood for the shock-jock style, but she's so quick witted that when the mood strikes, it's perfect.  Her "take" on the bad words, etc is it's just a word.  I don't mind that style when it's actually funny.  Absolutely Not -- Heather K. McMahan.  I follow her on Instagram too.  She cohosted the 4th hour of The Today Show and was funny.  This is me being LESS serious.  Podcasts can JUST entertain -- don't need to "teach" every time.  She asks her guests to talk about what is an "absolutely not" in their lives/society ... for example, strange baby names and spellings was the last guest's "absolutely not."

I finished Karolina's Twins and learned it was based on a real story.  That's probably why the WW2 part of the book was so compelling.  The author asked permission to use the story in a fiction book and add some romance and mystery.

I started The Dollhouse -- Fiona Davis.  My aunt thought it was excellent so giving it a go.  It's one of those books that jumps back and forth between characters and time (present and 1950s) every chapter.  Seems like too many authors use that technique to tell a story.  It's lazy story telling to me ... and can make for annoying reading.  I'll see as it moves forward.

Today's TREAT is TBD.  But, there WILL be a treat.  This long day needs something to keep me on the strait and narrow (got the correct "strait" this time - hah).

TOOL is patience -- with the day, with my down-n-out hubby and with the contractor (!!).

Happy Weekend.  Later gators.
