What I'm Reading This Week #50

Happy Friday all!  Let me thank you for the comments on yesterday's Peloton post to restore my faith in humanity.  It seems those who scream loudest in society tagging all the people and companies and whipping people into a frenzy are the ones that get the attention.  It can make it feel like everyone feels that way and you're some uninformed idiot or old relic that doesn't get it.  Thank you for reminding me constantly why I have the best online peeps in the blogosphere who don't fall for that tomfoolery!

I can't believe this is the last weekend we have before Christmas gatherings begin. 😩  I'm not ready!  Crap, literally not ready.  I forgot I need to get my grandpa's wife the special candy she likes since I'm the only one who will get it for her.  Add that to the weekend list.  I have been looking at links this week at, oh...1 a.m.  *rolling eyes*

Let's not let my sleepless nights be in vain and get into...

It has been a crazy week with projects and deliveries and I know it's my fault but I think things are as they should be for now.  (Or at least as good as they're going to get.  You should've seen the Mr wince when he proofread that!)   I'll update next week with pics of everything since we are putting finishing touches on things this weekend.  I'm looking forward to maybe binge-watching some movies or I guess I should start baking.  *Hiss*  So not feelin' it this year.
