As I type this up, I can barely keep my eyes open. We spent the entire Saturday- from very early until the evening moving our daughters out of their apartment and into their separate destinations.
My oldest daughter got a new apartment closer to work. We got all her stuff moved in there. And my younger daughter is back home as she figures out what’s next. Right now that’s looking like grad school with the intent of working in law enforcement on the federal level, which I think she is well suited for.
Otherwise, my week leading up to yesterday was fairly quiet. The person I share an office with caught Covid from her son who had been visiting a friend on the west coast, so she was out for almost two weeks. Which meant work was quiet. And I am back to the normal number of cats, which is a relief, and a lot more doable as the the two female cats did not get along at all.
And, now it’s time to go get some sleep. 😴
How was your week?
Only 1 book this week, and I’m patting myself on the back. What I would like to do is stop requesting on NetGalley and just take advantage of widgets offered to me then fill in the gaps with the many many books that I have bought and never find time to read. 🤞
The only show that I’ve been streaming that I haven’t mentioned yet is Ms. Marvel on Disney+. We have been enjoying it a lot. I love how much we are learning about India and Pakistan and the history of those two countries.

What a busy week, hopefully this week will be quieter for you 😊
It should be 🤞
Moving is never fun. I feel for you. Hope you get some rest on Sunday to make up for all the work today.
It’s been rainy day, so it has been so easy to sleep the day away.
Wow.. you’ve been busy! Hopefully you’re able to get some rest and recover, moving is hard work.
Not sure this book is for me right now, I think I have half a dozen already that sound remarkably similar to it. Was it a good read?
Thanks for sharing, Tessa! Have a wonderful (but more relaxing) week!
It doesn’t come out until March of next year, so it’ll probably be a while before I read it. Hopefully it’s good!
Moving is hard work! I hope you get some rest. I understand about Netgalley. I was kind of neglecting it, so I’ve been reading more Netgalley books and less blog tours.
I keep ignoring blog tour requests because there is no way right now – my calendar is overfilled. And moving is hard work!!!
Wow sounds like a very busy time for you Tessa hope you got a good sleep! I saw the first episode of Ms Marvel but found it a bit chaotic at times, so not sure if I’m going to watch any more. :/
Ms. Marvel does have a bit of chaos about it. I agree. And it has been very busy. I’m hoping this week will be nice and quiet 🤞
I went shopping with my daughter yesterday, supposedly to get a present for my husband (little presents). His main present, an oven, is being put in today. He doesn’t know about it yet. My daughter’s boyfriend is putting it in for us. We ended up getting more stuff for my granddaughter and daughter, so Amazon it was for my husband. I’ve been watching series 4 of Stranger Things. It is really weird, but good at the same time.
Stranger Things is very weird. I agree. I still enjoy it, though 🙂 I bet it’s hard to resist buying things for your daughter and granddaughter. I know it would be for me too.
Sounds like a busy time for you. The books looks good 😊
Hope you had a nice rest.

It’s been a rainy day here today so perfect for snoozing all day ❤️
Sounds excellent. It is so hot and humid here!
Seems like everyone is busy these days.
My week:

I’m hoping this week will be nice and quiet🤞
Sounds like you’ve had a busy and tiring week, Tessa! I’m also watching Ms Marvel and enjoying it too so far. I hope you have a great week ahead! 💜
Ms. Marvel is so much fun and I just adore the girl who is playing her. I saw an interview with her and became an instant fan.
That’s been a must have been a busy week – how are both your daughters settling in their new environments? I’ve been loving Ms Marvel too!
The younger one is loving be back home and the older one has successfully transitioned to adulting – good job, nice apartment, lots of friends – she is in a good place ❤️
Congratulations on getting both your daughters moved. No wonder you are tired!
I would love to watch Ms. Marvel. I’m going to have to subscribe to Disney+ at some point; they have so many shows I want to watch.
I think Disney+ has done a great job providing interesting things to watch. It’s one streaming app that is totally worth the money to me.
Moving is always such a hassle and then when it’s not even you doing the packing/moving, it’s almost worse! The benefit is definitely less. But I’ve helped my kids move too – it’s exhausting. Some good books here and I’m off to check a couple of your reviews. Hope you have a most excellent week.
Here’s me: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/sunday-post-6
Totally exhausting!! And I don’t think it ever ends. lol.
I wish you daughters all the best with whatever is next for them and I hope you are able to get a good rest after all that moving and all those cats! 😊 My week was a busy, blur of a week! I did particularly enjoy our classes trip to a local farm and the glorious sunshine we have been blessed with, although the forecast for next week is maybe a bit too hot!
Take care and happy reading in the coming week. 🙂
Thank you 🤗 It was a cool and rainy day – perfect for sleeping the day away, so I feel much better.
Moving is so hard! I bet you’re exhausted but glad you were there to help your girls. I slowed down on my NetGalley requests and it’s been nice to have a slightly slower pace.
Slower pace sounds very good right about now.
Sounds like a busy few days! Good luck to both your daughters, one on her move and the other with her future career.
Thank you! and yes, incredibly busy. I think I need to go back to the beach now to recuperate 😉
Moving is SO exhausting and not fun.
Federal level law enforcement sounds VERY impressive and important!
It’s more investigation driven, and I think that’s what she likes about it. She has always been my morally black and white girl which is why law enforcement seems like a good fit for her.
Wow, sounds like a busy weekend! Such an important next step for your daughters, I wish them the best as they head further into their careers and personal development!
Thank you! And yes, it was a very busy weekend. My oldest daughter talked about moving to another apartment at the end of her lease next year and I just groaned at the thought. 😂
Oh wow.. That is a bit. Guess we’ll just have to catch up on our TBRs in the mean time. 😆
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Congrats on getting it done, Tessa💜
All done! For now 😂. My youngest is hoping to go to a college for her master’s in DC. 😣
Well…it’s a start😏 FYI, I lived in Northern VA for 16 years and loved visiting DC. Just didn’t want to live there. Maybe that’s a compromise?
I was thinking that. I’m from Delaware originally, so I am very familiar with DC – the good, the bad, and the dangerous. I’ll need to do a lot of research if that’s where she ends up going.
Moving – ugh. Hubby and I have extensive experience, as you know, and we’ll be moving Son #2 into his apartment in a few weeks. Let those sore muscles rest, Tessa!
I don’t think this moving thing is ever going to end.
Sounds like a busy week. I hope you had enough rest.
Totally busy! Hopefully this week will be nice and quiet.
My husband and I moved over the weekend too. I’m still exhausted from it and we still need to unpack. We’ve done some, but we’re still a long way off from being settled. I can’t imagine having to move both your daughters. I hope you’ve gotten some rest.
Wow, you had a busy week, Tessa. My daughter came home three different times until she got things figured out. Covid is still out there, so I am glad she was off and didn’t give it to you. That Disney series sounds interesting. I also like when I learn things from watching something. I will have to see if we get it in Canada, as I have the Disney channel for the grandkids. I hope you have recovered from all that work.
