Life with Leukemia (And Some Reading) - November 28

 
It's Sunday Post time!  This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.

What I Got:


Bake, Borrow, and Steal by Ellie Alexander - The latest book in one of my favorite series!  (Publisher)

Currently:


Reading:  Pride, Prejudice, and Peril by Katie Oliver and Nemisis by Agatha Christie

Listening:  Kneaded to Death by Winnie Archer

I hope all who celebrate had a wonderful Thanksgiving and for those that don't that you had a wonderful week.  Last year at this time we were living in a little apartment in Memphis and Will was feeling absolutely awful.  We put together as much of a Thanksgiving meal as we could but it was a very quiet day.  This year we celebrated twice - the first on Thursday at my mother's and then on Friday which is our usual day where we got together with Jason's family.  There was lots of talking and laughing and great food.  Will was feeling much more like himself and ate his weight in turkey.  It was a much louder happier day.  

We had a big surprise planned for Saturday but that ended up getting pushed back until next Saturday.  After all the cooking and visiting Will and I are both feeling pretty run down so I think the pushback was definitely for the best.  This weekend will be mostly getting lots of rest and relaxing.  I can't quite kick this blech feeling.  I'm not sure if it's a cold or allergies or what but Will doesn't seem to be getting it so that's the main concern.  My reading has taken a bit of a hit but I've been trying to get as much rest as I can.

Have a great week and happy reading!

  5. Yes this year was definitely different from last year. Sorry to see that you aren't feeling too good. Try hot jello or simple orange with high pulp and it might help you feel better.

    Happy Sunday.

  8. Glad Will got to enjoy it all this year! Sorry you're both feeling a little worn out after all of it though. Hopefully this week will get back to being in a better state. I don't read the cozy mysteries, but always love their titles and it makes me wish I liked them more!

  9. I'm so glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving with family. Yay for resting and relaxing the upcoming week. I hope you feel better too! I have been pushing myself to do a whole bunch of things and now I think I just need to prioritize and not think everything has to be today, because I'm wearing myself out.

  11. Glad to hear you had a couple of great days with family. No wonder day 3 was best put off to later. Take care of yourself that blech feeling is telling you to! Pride Prejudice and Peril looks interesting and Ellie Alexander book of course.
