My Week in Review
Happy Sunday! I hope you had a great week. It was return to the grind this week. I started my Monday drive to the office. I think I picked the right day. The mornings are always about an hour there because it's early, but I made pretty good time home in the afternoon as well (a little over an hour). Trains were more or less on time for the other two days, so at least I didn't have any commuting drama. The weather was nice. We had a few mornings above freezing and beautiful afternoons. It's supposed to stay nice until later this week, so I will be enjoying the higher temperatures while I can.
I had Friday off because I had to get my yearly physical. The doctor knows what a medical avoider I am, so she got me to do my first Shingles shot while I was there. My arm is still swollen today. That shot is no joke.

Read Last Week
No five-star reads this week, but I had two that stood out from the rest. Twice was a very interesting story about a man who could relive a moment in his life but only twice. I love the idea of second chances, but this book also used that magic in interesting ways and made me think about how I would use those opportunities. I also really enjoyed Checking It Twice. My love for holiday romances runs deep, and once again, there was a great family who made this one merry and bright, and I loved the way they fully embraced the heroine who was usually on her own for the holidays. Fun and sweet.
