My Week in Review

Happy Sunday and hello, February! Do we really still have two months of winter left? They were actually still clearing the snow by me on Friday. It's everywhere! The trains stopped running last Sunday at 2 pm and started up again Monday night on an abbreviated schedule. I was happy the train was about on time Tuesday, but it was packed! I like my less full train. Wednesday I drove. My manager let me flex 1 hour, so I left work at 2:30 pm, but that didn't make any difference with the traffic. That drive home is a bear. But the best part was that I did not have to go into the office a third day. The campus was closed Monday, so they didn't count it against us. 

Sorry to hear another storm is heading for the Carolina's, but I have glad to hear it was not coming my way. These disruptions to my routine and schedule are really putting me off. 

Yesterday, I was food shopping and realized when I was doing self-checkout that I forgot my wallet. I thought, I would just activate my Google Wallet, but I apparently did not remember my CVV. I called home, and it took both my parents to find the card in my wallet and give me the code. At one point, my father told me he was old, what did I want from him. When I got off the phone, one of the workers asked me if I was having a rough morning. The whole call with them was pure comedy. 

My daughter's birthday is this week. I have grown accustomed to NOT celebrating with her, but I always wish I could. She is supposed to come visit this month. We have tickets to a play, so I am crossing my fingers and toes that the weather gods are kind to me, and she has not delays or whatnot to deal with.

Stacking the Shelves

I was excited to see the Harvey book on sale. I read the other three books in the series from my library, but this did not have the last one. Now, I just need to fit this into my TBR soon. I saw the new Shalvis up on Edelweiss, so I downloaded it. I have been loving the Colburn Brothers series and am still holding out hope that Shalvis will give us a book 4 for their sister. Her husband had died unexpectedly, and she was raising their twins on her own. She has slowly been healing, and I would LOVE to see her get an HEA.

Read Last Week

No stinkers this week. I did a last minute swap to read another book by Michiko Aoyama when I saw it available at the library. I used to have a backlog of ARC reviews to pick from, but since I am reading one less book a week, I am pretty much posting within a week. I decided to pair Aoyama's books together. 

Hot Chocolate on Thursday was the warm and cozy book I hoped it would be, and Adams did not disappoint with the final When in Rome book. I am sad it's over, but I am excited to see what new world Adams will create for us.
