courting trouble

Like all Lisa Scottoline books, I enjoyed reading this one. Maybe not as much as some of the others, but it was good. And, it was from the Bennie Rosato series, which I really like. There was a twist at the end which I saw coming, but I didn’t quite guess the result correctly.

My rating: 3/5

buy-bye, prime

It’s been a good run, but I’ve decided to let my Amazon Prime membership lapse. I’m doing this for a number of reasons: I’ve been trying to buy things from other places whenever possible because I think Jeff Bezos has enough money; due to coronavirus, they’re taking forever to ship, so Prime shipping is kind of meaningless right now; I don’t use any of the other benefits.

overcharged

Despite being a bunch of introverts, Jake and I are starting to get bored at home. The other day, we were talking about how introverts recharge by having some alone time whereas extroverts recharge by being with other people. He then said something about being overcharged and I think he hit the nail on the head–all we have been doing is recharging for over a month and our batteries have had it.

Luckily, it sounds like things might be opening back up to some extent in May. If I could get back to volunteering, I’m sure that would discharge my battery a bit. And, if Jake could hang out with his friends again, I’m sure he would be a lot happier.

 

modern family

This show came to an end this year after 11 seasons. It’s been one of my favorites, but the quality has dropped off the past few seasons. Still, I will miss hanging out with the extended Pritchett family every week.

this weather

I have so much stuff to do outside, but the weather has not been cooperating. With all of the free time I have these days, I really thought the yard would be in good shape by now, but it’s usually cold, raining, and/or snowing, so I haven’t been able to get out much. I was shooting to have the yard cleaned up by this weekend because our township’s brush pickup is next week and it will save me a bunch of trips to the brush recycling center. But you know what they say about the best laid plans…
