Weekly Wrap Up 2-12-21

Two weeks into February! It has been COLD this week. Like, multiple days in a row with negative (farenheit) temperatures that aren’t going away any time soon. Snow Lady is a little starved for sunshine, shocking I know.

If I’m honest, the pandemic slump/wall really hit this week. I’ve been feeling a lot of negative feelings for a while but I typically just brush past them because I don’t like feeling sad and angry. After all that we’ve lost this year in our little family specifically, things just came to a head. There’s no shame in knowing you need so I decided I’m going to begin the process of finding a therapist to talk to. I haven’t given myself enough time to grieve the losses, personal and professional, that Covid took from me.

But, I have been leaning into self care. Here’s what I was up this week:

What I Read:

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas—Even better the second time.

It’s Not Summer without You & We’ll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han—Reviews here! This is a series that totally surprised me and I just loved it! Total serotonin boost.

Currently Reading:

A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas—Gotta finish this reread up in time for the new book on Tuesday!

Shipped by Angie Hockman—Listening to this one on audio and so far it’s fine. I wasn’t too excited by it cause I read it won’t be the kind of or RomCom I’d be into, but still enjoying the palette cleanser.

Wanting:

I haven’t been scrolling too much lately as I need to cut back on my pandemic spending just cause I’m sad every day lol.

Only a few more days until A Court of SIlver Flames comes out! I haven’t been this excited for a new book in years.

The Duchess of Cambridge by Bethan Holt—You know I love the royals! I can’t wait to add this book to my collection.

Bits & Bobs:

I got my Kindle this week! I wrote up a whole post about all the FAQ’s I’ve been receiving. But spoiler alert: I love it.

We started a new series on Read It Or List It! It’s all about audiobooks and I can’t wait to continue deep diving into this format of reading!

Liquid IV On Sale (30% off!)—I am so obsessed with this hydration supplement! My favorite flavors are Tangerine, Strawberry, and Acai Berry. And yes, I totally notice a difference! I like to take it in the morning with a big glass of water or save it for my 3pm slump.

Weekend Plans:

It’s Valentine’s Day this weekend and our dating anniversary on February 16, so we always do something special. This year we’ll be staying home and enjoying To All the Boys: Always and Forever with fondue! You can read more about our plans here.

How was your week? Be on the look out for a new blog series this weekend!
