What I'm Reading This Week #46

It's Friday!  WOO HOO!!  A short week always feels long when you get them.  I have been super unproductive this week.  You ever look at a room, don't know where to start, and get so overwhelmed you do nothing?  That was me this week.  The only good thing I can report is we started our workouts back up .  We didn't start until Wednesday, but something told me not to dive headfirst back in when we came back, and I think it did a lot to extend my vacation chill which I appreciated.  This week was far from chill mentally, so exercise was needed.  I think I'm changing my mind on the living room update (or rather it was kind of changed for me) so a new lamp and rug it is, which we have, and we'll call it done.  My friend and I decided to not exchange gifts this year.  I felt like I was trying to pull ideas out of her, and then she'd have to figure out how to stuff everything in her suitcase to head home.  So our gift to each other this year is a long overdue visit.  (Obviously, I'll make them a tin of cookies to take on the plane, I'm not an animal.)   I think I just have to get some candy for two people this weekend if I remember, and I can call myself done, so I'm excited about that.

Now let's get to...

The essential comparison guide to every streaming service  (I'm convinced they all suck.  We finally cut the friggin' cord, and Sony Vue decides to tank.  Thanks a lot.  I'm not impressed with ANY of our options.  Past me is super disappointed in this whole "streaming will change your life" crap.  Oh, and I don't know how people survive on Netflix, we get it twice a year, and even then we can blow through everything in 2 weeks.)

10 Simple Productivity Hacks to Get Through a Bad Day  (Literally read this to try to motivate myself and when I read "go at your own pace," a snail popped into my head.  I cleaned the couch 50% off...phew, pass the hot toddy!)

The Guide to Strong Boundaries  (Be the year you set 'em and stick to 'em.  Or maybe someone needs to set them for you!  ROFL)

The Ultimate Injury Solution: Stretching Your Fascia  (If you don't, you will be in a world of hurt!)

This is the best answer I ever received to ‘Tell me about yourself’—after 20 years of interviewing  (Great answer however it applies to you)

TikTok And Other Trends That Make Me Feel Old As Dirt   (Reason #94,778 we're glad we didn't have kids.  No tech to keep up with.)

Joy and Gratitude in Difficult Times  (I think I throw the strawberry at the mouse and keep climbing.)

Tips for driving in snow without being a dangerous jerk  (I swear people act like they either have never driven in it before or they act like it's not there and still drive 15 over the speed limit.)

Interview with Tom Mison  (My God the pics in this are jaw-dropping, especially the one in the vest toward the end in the chair...not that I paid attention.)

Oprah's 2019 Favorite Things List Is Here! Shop the 79 Extraordinary Gift Ideas Now  (A few good ones on there but some stuff it's like "for real, O?")

Biltmore Estate at Christmas Is Something Everyone Should Witness in Their Lifetime  (Yes, please!)

It's Operation Kevin time  (How did I miss this last year!?!?!  Oh wait, we don't watch live TV anymore.)

I need to get the mish-mash Christmas cards made out since our address labels arrived.  I went to do it earlier in the week and found I had no labels from last year, either.  Oy.  Other than that, I don't think we have anything major planned.

What do you have on your agenda?
