Currently// relaxing, watching HP4 on the tele, and doing laundry. Oh, and actually blogging! I’ve been away for quite some time now mainly because I’m….
Working// all the time.
About six weeks ago, I started my job as an addictions counselor at the state prison. With an hour-long commute each way and having to be at work at 7:00, I’m pretty whooped by the time I get home each day. It’s cutting deep into my reading time, too, damnit. But I’m slowly getting used to the grind and to working with inmates.
Watching// Doctor Who (or, rather, rewatching).
In the evenings when I get home, I’ve been too tired to do anything else but sit, nor had the mental fortitude to read much. So I’ve been hitting the Amazon Prime hard lately going back through Doctor Who. I just started season 7, and I have every plan to start some form of exercise plan when I’ve finished. Cant’ use the “getting used to the new job” excuse for much longer.
Listening// a lot. Between a recent road trip and two hours each day driving to and from work, I’ve been devouring audiobooks in rapid succession. The latest of which is Maestra by L.S. Hinton, which may warrant some form of review; it’s been…. interesting, but not necessarily in a good way or in the way the author intended. But I like the narrator’s voice, so that’s something.
Reading// a little. I finished Thursday, 1:17p.m. by Michael Landweber about two weeks ago, which was load of timey wimey fun. I’ve got a review brewing for that one that’ll be out soon.
Writing// even less. I’ve gotta few ARC reviews that I need to write up, and I’m slowly progressing on that. Again, stupid work is interfering with my blogging and leisure reading. How rude!
So, that’s where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. Keeping this as bookish as possible. How are all of your readers doing????
Well, no wonder you haven’t been around. Certainly no blame on you… Haven’t been reading much myself. Have been binge-watching lots of Netflix. Today, my wife and I are finishing up Bloodline Season 2.
That’s the show with Kyle Chandler, right? Good stuff?? Any other good shows y’all been watching? I can barely stand regular TV and whatnot because all anyone wants to talk about is the bloody election. *groan*
When I get home most days I’m too tired to do anything other than binge watch. I went through the first 7 seasons of Doctor Who in record time (rewatching – not enough brain juice for new show – lol)
Fwoo, that’s a hell of a commute! It sounds like you’re doing really interesting work though — and props to you for doing it!
Indeed it is interesting (some days more than others), and thanks for the props!! ? It helps when I struggle to get up super early the day after a three-day weekend!!! Lol
It is indeed very interesting… and quite challenging. Thanks for the props! 🙂 (And sorry for such a delayed response – stupid work mucking things up again 😉 )
I always forget how far you have to drive. Man, we did so many concerts up that way long ago and didn’t think twice about the commute. Ahhhh the younger days, ha!! (PS – C is all about that pig video!)
It’s definitely a haul. It’s good for audio booking most days, but sometimes I’m still too sleepy and have to put on Pandora instead.
I’m glad C liked it – she’s like my little kindred spirit!!
