It's Sunday Post time! This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.
This was a pretty good week. Will came off this round of steroids and has started getting actual sleep again which we are all happy about. His treatment week calls for a round of high dose steroids about once a month. He's doing okay with them but they mess up his sleep which drops his energy level and can effect his mood. So things are slowly getting back to normal until the next round of steroids when we start the cycle again. We've been playing some video games and have had fun playing around with a trading site we found for Animal Crossing. We've also been working on school to try and stay caught up and have been doing pretty well. We finished up a lit book (Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White) which we didn't start out liking but really came to enjoy. It made for some good discussion as to why we weren't liking it and what changed.
This was my birthday week AND I hit 2 weeks from my 2nd vaccine so it was a good week. I went to the used bookstore and wandered around for awhile. I picked up some good books and some bits and pieces for reading room that I'm working on decorating. I also got 2 half bookcases from my dad who was getting rid of them. They're temporary but it's allowed me to experiment some with the layout I want and I had 2 new bookcases to fill! One is a for Will's school stuff but I was able to devote an entire shelf to Patricia Wentworth and another to some other favorite authors. I do love organizing bookshelves!
Currently:
Reading: Dead and Gone by Dorothy Simpson and The Life and Times of Miss Jane Marple by Anne Hart
So glad that Will is sleeping better! Animal Crossing is one that my kids enjoyed, though I'm not sure if they're still playing. I can't keep up! Your reading room project sounds fun! I love organizing bookshelves too.
ReplyDeleteOrganizing bookshelves is fun. :) And yay for used bookstores! One of my favorite places, and we have so few of them here now. Glad Will is doing good and hoping you guys have a good week this week as well!
ReplyDeleteI loved Raya and the last dragon and still want to bring elements of it into the blog!! It's gorgeous!!!!! And I would like to have a soft toy of Sisu.
ReplyDeleteYea for new books and bookshelves! Always fun. I wish I can start doing it, but they haven't even started with renovations.
Happy Birthday Katherine, hope you will have blessed and worry free year to come!

ReplyDeleteI am glad Will is feeling better this week. Happy mother's day to you, Happy Birthday and great news about vaccine. And you deserve new bookcases!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that Will had a good week. And wonderful to think that you are fully immunized and can get out again. The first place I went was a bookstore, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! And Happy Mother's Day!
Lots of good things agin this week! Happy birthday and full immunization, and hooray that Will is able to sleep. Have fun filling those bookcases!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading E.B.White to my class from time to time. Great that you were able to have good discussion around why not liking it but then changing. Good for persevering. Hope the birthday was good among all that you have going on. Organising bookcases is fun for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear good news about Will's treatments! Happy birthday and congrats on having your 2nd vaccine out of the way! Enjoy organizing your bookshelves and happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday; glad you had a good week and that your son is feeling better and able to catch some zzz's.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! And I'm glad to read Will got some sleep in.
ReplyDeleteWalking around that bookshop sounds perfect.
Have a great week and happy reading.
Steroids can do so much good but also have nasty side effects. I'm glad he's getting some sleep now. Hooray for being fully vaccinated and for the new bookcases!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you had a good week! Happy belated birthday! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and yay for your second shot! I'll have to learn about this Animal Crossing trading site. I've been kind of bored and ended up downloading a whole new game because I've pretty much done most everything on ACNH, except a few fish and things that seem impossible to get. Thanks for visiting my Weekly wrap-up post on Lisa Loves Literature earlier!
ReplyDeleteI am glad Will is sleeping some. That must be a relief. Happy belated birthday! I am glad you were able get some books. I am glad you liked Raya and the Last Dragon too! I hope you are enjoying your reading and have a good week, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! And what fun to go into a bookstore and shop (or just browse!)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that Will was able to get some sleep. I can only imagine how frustrating it is for him when the steroids make it hard to him to get the rest he needs. Happy Birthday, Katherine! Yay for new bookshelves. I hope that you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Glad things went well this week and yay for wandering bookstores. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteBaz and I read Charlotte's Web, and Stuart Little together, but not Trumpet of the Swan; in fact this is the first I'm hearing of it. Thanks for the heads up! I think I'll read it. 📚
ReplyDeleteI am so happy Will is getting better sleep right now. Sleep is good medicine. 🤗
Have you seen the British shows Supersizers Go, and Supersizers Eat? I loved watching them eat historically, so I'm going to check out Tasting History. 🍽
Happy belated birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
I hope you have been having a great week. 🌞
