What I'm Reading This Week #2

Tis Friday y'all!  I hope you had a good, productive week and are ready for a hearty helping of weekend tomfoolery.   I've been dealing with bait and switchers on rental sites and the aftermath of that.  So irritating and it was not how I wanted to start or end my week.  We have retreat booked and it's the first time we don't really have any space to go outside in a lawn setting and chill.  It is so weird to see how places we've stayed in the past regardless of where we've stayed aren't available the following year or the next time we're in town.

We binged season 4 of the Netflix show You which was good the first season, went downhill the second season, irritating and grating the third season and this season was "didn't think it could get more cringe, I was wrong."  We had a lot of shows to catch up on and I think that was the last of the old shows and now it's new to us stuff.  Anyone else still think these streaming services seriously don't live up to what they claimed they were going to be when spit balled?  

Now let's claim:  




Mysterious Neglected Part of Our Body Is Vital to Our Health, Scientists Discover  (Dude...I can tell you first hand how important it is and keeping it pliable because if you don't, you'll be in big trouble.)



Shin Splint Exercises  (Yep, got those too. 🙄)

We stopped taking Ozempic and Wegovy — and regained more weight than we lost  (Given the price of it monthly and more and more stories like this (and the ones yet to come out in 5-10 years)- I'll pass even though I'm really tempted with grief weight.)

Things People Don't Realize You're Doing Because You Have Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (Holy crap, there's a name for it!?  I've got basically every one of these but would love to know WTH you're supposed to do about it!  Also what happens when you have examples of people actually rejecting you?)

4 Brilliant Ways to Respond to Someone Gaslighting You, According to a Therapist  (#4 should shut down pretty much anyone.  If they dig in, reply 'according to you.')


How to Erase Your Personal Information From the Internet. It’s Not Impossible!  (Nothing like getting a call from some asshat asking if you want to sell your deceased parents APARTMENT.)

It's the weekend and the Mr said the only thing about going back to the office is that he has an appreciation for the weekend again.  I'm sure he'd much rather be back on his 4/1 schedule going in on Fridays when no one else is there.  We're both hoping they come to their senses because people are doing no work, blabbing around each other's desks for well over an hour at various times of the day, whistling and humming just to be annoying and see who they can get to snap.  I encouraged him to walk the halls for five minutes at the top of the hour to get away from the masses and give his legs some circulation.  Still no snow here and I'm ready to road trip for it.  I literally watched a huge system come in, break up around our city and rejoin together 30 miles outside of it.  It happens without fail- every. time.  

You got anything planned for the weekend?

  1. I do appreciate the weekend more now. January is kind of flying by. Hard to believe that it's already MLK weekend. But yeah we usually get snow by now and it's crazy that we got nothing in that last big front that went through here. Have a nice long weekend everyone!

    1. Sure would be nice to be able to play in the snow. I hope we get the chance because you know we're going to blink and it'll be March.

  2. We have blizzard conditions and have an appt to be at by noon today, so hopefully we'll get through that. Temps drop to single digits with windchills at minus 30 starting tomorrow night, so the next week will be surviving that with a dog who doesn't want to be out in it and won't potty. It was an epic fail for she and I this morning. Aside from that I have to work, and church on Sunday. Hubs will lay low to recuperate an extra day. I hope you guys can get out and about. I'd gladly send you the snow and temps your way, but it always goes around your city!!! It boggles my mind how that happens on radar!

    1. Ugh, those wind chills sound brutal! I hope you get what you need done and hunker down. Make sure you have what you need in case of a power outage or anything.

  3. I got a 13 out of 15 regarding the Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, ugh. We had all of our snow melt the other day, it's supposed to be in the teens at night starting Sunday. Decluttering is on my agenda for the weekend. Hall closet and books. Have a great weekend!

  4. 4-8 inches of snow today through tomorrow. Glad it is the weekend so I don't have to drive. You finds some of the most interesting reading. I could easily relate to several of these. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Get out and play in that snow for those of us with our faces pressed against the window with a single tear trickling down our faces! Thanks...leave it to me to not read what everyone else necessarily is! LOL Have a great weekend!

  5. Playing catch up with posts, been a busy couple of weeks! I googled my name, my last name is very uncommon, and there's an anaesthesiologist in Boston with my exact first and last name! Found one thing about me on the web and it was social media related :)

    1. Oh the scary and/or interesting things you can find out! The Mr shares the same name with someone else IN TOWN and we constantly have to make sure they're looking up by birthday everywhere, especially doctors.
