In My Reading Life
I've got nothing to report. I made a series of poor life choices and somehow ended up reading 3 thick books at the same time. I didn't finish any of them. I don't feel like I'm even making progress on them!
In The Rest Of My Life
Five things that happened last week:
1. The car broke, and the grocery store is too far away to carry a ton of groceries home, so I ate a bunch of take-out food. I guess I could have gotten groceries delivered, but burritos are better.
2. I didn't just get burritos. I also had pizza. And chocolate cupcakes. The car has been broken for a while. I've had a lot of time to eat food.
3. The season finales of the US versions of Love Is Blind and The Traitors happened. Now I'm watching the UK Traitors.
4. There was going to be a giant blizzard, so I went for a walk before the snow started. Here's the view from a random high school parking lot.
5. The Skunkumentary has fewer camera angles this week because of the blizzard. The cameras got buried. Skunk cameras are only 12 inches off the ground, and the snow was up to my thighs when I slogged outside to dig them up. I still haven't found the motion detector light. It's under the snow somewhere.
For more books I'm not reading
Being blocked on reading is bad! I almost always read only one book at a time, so I have more control: drop it or finish it! But then there’s always procrastination. Good luck getting your reading mojo back.

Sorry to hear about the car. I hope you can get it repaired (and that it's not too expensive). Was that a fox at the end or just a snow covered skunk? It looked pretty big.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fox in deep snow. :)
DeleteMan it stinks when your car breaks down, I am sorry this happened to you, Aj. I really hope things get much better for you this coming week.
ReplyDeleteI hope your car is fixed soon. I hate being without a car. I hope you have a better week!
ReplyDeleteA blizzard? I am so not good in cold weather though I do find snow beautiful. And I love the quiet that can come with it.
ReplyDeleteYour eating sounds like mine a couple weeks ago. I am trying to be better (story of my life).
I hope your car can get fixed soon. Those burritos, pizza and cupcakes sure sound good! That's too bad about reading 3 thick books at the same time and feeling like you're not making much progress. Hopefully next week you can finish one.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when my car is not working. I hate it when I am not able to read. I hate it when I can't get the food I want to eat. I'm sorry all of these are happening to you.
ReplyDeleteI would only want that much snow if I was able to stay inside and had all that I needed, including power, LOL! I am sorry your car is broken, I hope you are able to get it fixed soon! I hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteDamn AJ I forget how much snow you get in Colorado! I hope your car will be sorted soon enough!
ReplyDeleteIt's so frustrating to be without a car! I hope you can get yours fixed or replaced soon. A blizzard is one of those things that sounds fun to a snow-lover in a state that doesn't usually get much snow... but is probably no fun at all when you are actually in one. Also, good luck with your reading slump; I feel for you. Maybe table two of the big thick books for now, and alternate between one of them and something lighter? Whatever you decide, I hope this week treats you a bit more kindly than the last one did, Aj.
ReplyDeleteI read some real chunksters early in the year and it felt like I went ages without finishing anything. Now I try to keep a list of short books that I want to read ... helps me to mix things up a little more.
ReplyDeleteI just had Taco Bell1 :)
ReplyDeleteThat video is fascinating! Who knows what happens at night? Now I want t oinstall one.
I'm curious about the three thick books! What are they and what do they want? I also want pizza and chocolate cupcakes now. Yum! I hope you get your car back soon, but then again, maybe not if it means you gotta stop with the burritos and pizza and cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're eating lots of burritos and ice cream because your car broke, lol. I hope it's fixed soon! Love the bunny!
ReplyDeleteI like burritos! I like Mexican food better than my daughter. We've been eating out while a couple days of traveling. My car had a lovely Check Engine light the first day of the trip so I can relate. It was all too much food at every meal. I am glad we are moving into more springlike weather here. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
I’m sorry that you’re going through a rough time AJ. I hope your luck turns around soon and your car gets repaired.
ReplyDeleteI hope things get better for you very soon!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your car issues are resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteI’d love an excuse to eat burritos, pizza and icecream for a while.
Wishing you a great reading week
Hopefully your car issues will be resolved soon. Those Skunk are up to no good.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Phew I read about that blizzard. Snow up to your thighs sounds crazy! I hope things get resolved for you soon!
ReplyDeleteMmm, pizza. It stinks when our cars don't work, we really rely on them!
ReplyDeleteBooks, fast food, and snow might be the start of a story or something. Hope your car is back up and running soon.

I'm glad you survived your blizzard. Sorry to hear about your broken car. I'm hoping we can make it the rest of the winter without a blizzard. We did have a few scattered snowflakes a couple of days ago but nothing significant. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIs the snow still around? How much did you get? Sorry about the car -- ugh that's a drag. keep the faith in your reading & books! have a good week.
ReplyDeleteYummy food deliveries is a good reason to delay the car repairs for sure.
