This week, a "Celestial Beast" sticker (a knot of winged snakes) by Abi Stevens Art.
This was a good but busy week. I definitely felt like I fell behind on some things. Spending time with Taylor was good (and the snake-themed sticker wound up being appropriate.) Tuesday's hike was also wonderful, if tiring. Lots of family this week, between hanging out with Taylor and mom for a couple days, then breakfast with my dad mid-week. (Nice to see him again so soon.) Work felt like A Lot, being the final week of the summer season. I got a decent amount of reading in. And just under the wire for the week, a tiny bit of writing. There was a frustrating bout of exhaustion mid-week that left me doing little except sleeping, but I hope that's passed for now.
Goals for the week:
- I did finish reading Uprooted
- I worked on my writing intro
- I got together with Taylor from Sunday night to Tuesday morning
- We got some outdoor time with a hike
- I went to breakfast with my dad
- I did not update my reading page
- I did not make my phone calls
- I read Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear, which means I have finished all of the Wayward Children novellas that are currently out! (My first goal for this year was 25 books. My second goal when I decided to push beyond that was to keep the Wayward Children books as ever third or so entry on my TBR, but to make it through all of them before the end of the year. So hooray for hitting the second goal with much time to spare!)
- I did catch up on Dreamwidth
- I started reading Little Eve
