On being “Fancy” and not “Pretty”

Well, I was hit with a virus this week that really knocked me out. Naturally, it arrived the day that Justin left for a quick 2-night trip, but I’m grateful that my parents happened to be in town and could help me with picking up the kids from school one of the days! 

There’s nothing quite like getting sick for a few days that will make you appreciate health and being able to function at full capacity! I’m feeling better; I’m just still sort of tired/fatigued from the week. My sleep was bad so I just feel like I need to catch up on a few good nights of rest and then I’ll be good to go! 

Tomorrow I’m sharing a quick recap of every book that I read in 2024. Be sure to check back for that blog post! 

I’m currently listening to book 3 of the Beartown series. Book 3 is the final book in the series and I’m hoping for a really strong, heart-warming ending. This series has been marked with tragedy and pain and very difficult events, so I’m also aware that something major is likely to happen as well. No spoilers in the comments, please! 

I’m heading out on a super quick trip to New York City next week. I always love being in the city and am looking forward to this quick trip!
