Life of a Renaissance Gal
I did not intend to take such a big break from the blog. The last few weeks got away from me – I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep (mostly due to Charlotte’s storm anxiety and the neverending thunderstorms). In addition to that, there have been some changes at the law office and things…
Watching… Last Tango in Halifax. I’ve been trying to make the most of my Netflix subscription. It had been a while since I started a new British show. After a Netflix recommendation, I landed on this one. It’s a story of two people in their 70’s who rekindle a romance they had as teens. I…
Did you have a nice weekend? I think mine was the perfect combination of relaxation and productivity. I updated some blog posts and am working on some things to hopefully get going on blogging more often than I have been. I also did some work on a pattern I’ve been working on and plan to…
Watching… Dead to Me. I binge watched this over the weekend and I loved it! It’s a dark dramedy with lots of twists and turns. It ends with a pretty big cliffhanger so I hope that there’s a season two. I don’t want to give too much away. I’m not even sure what to compare…
Reading… The Silent Sister. I’ve been flying through this book. I read Diane Chamberlain’s Necessary Lies several years ago and loved it. I’m not sure why it took me so long to read another one of her books. Like Necessary Lies, this one revolves around a mystery, but it’s different than most mysteries. While there…
Reading… Transcription. I am slowly whittling my way through the backlog of library books on my Kindle. Hopefully I can make it through them in the next couple of weeks so I take it off airplane mode. I had trouble getting into Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, but I’m really enjoying this book of espionage…
Reading… Where the Crawdads Sing. It took me a little while to get into this book but when I did, I couldn’t put it down. It’s the story of Kya, a girl (around 6 years old at the time the story commences) whose entire family, one by one, abandons her, leaving her to fend for…
How was your weekend? I was really sleepy this weekend and took lots of naps. I think I’m still adjusting to the time change. Reading… Marilla of Green Gables. When I was growing up, Lucy Maude Montgomery was my favorite author. I still remember going to the bookstore and discovering they had a new L.M….
Reading… Company of One. I actually have several books going right now. I requested this book from the library after hearing the author, Paul Jarvis, on the Hurry Slowly PodcastHurry Slowly Podcast. It’s nice to read a book by someone with a similar business philosophy as mine, where growing the business isn’t the primary concern….
Reading… How to Break Up with Your Phone. I have been devouring this book. I think this one has convinced me I have a problem more than Digital Minimalism did. While reading it, it’s occurred to me how much picking up my phone every few minutes is effecting my concentration levels and creativity. I’m experimenting…
