Currently 4/16

The weekends I spend in Wyoming do not lend themselves to blogging so I came into this week with nothing prepared.

Watching...Nothing. I can't find anything to watch. I don't understand what is wrong with me. I had The Office on in the background as I painted this past weekend. And I watched a few episodes of the new season of Queer Eye on Netflix. You all gave so many great recommendations a few weeks ago. I've tried a lot of those shows and just can't get into them. So strange for me. 

Reading...so much! This is thanks to my lack of TV-watching, I'm sure. I finished The War That Saved My Life, Still Me, and Educated last week. I'm working on The Girls in the Garden and The Lathe of Heaven. I DNF'd This Is How It Always Is. Up next: Wolf Hollow, Hell in a Handbasket, and The Glass Castle.  



Listening...to not much? I'm in need of a good podcast binge. Any recommendations with a backlog? I am listening to The Girls in the Garden, but I can only do audiobooks while I'm completing a task or on a long drive. I can't do them on my daily commute (and I generally don't listen to music because I'm strange like that). 

Dreading...I have a glucose test this week. I won't get the results until next week though. I've taken this test 2 or 3 times in the past, in an effort to help diagnose what could be causing infertility so the test doesn't bother me. It's the results I don't want to think about. This has been the easiest pregnancy experience I could've imagined (after waiting so long to get to this point) and if it takes a turn now toward high-maintenance, right as I'm getting ready to switch doctors/hospitals, that'd just be all that much more confusing. 

Wondering....why Mondays and Tuesdays are so difficult? I don't find my ability to really accomplish things until, like, Thursday. 



Believing...that after my rant last week, it's reassuring to see Colorado teachers standing up for themselves in Denver and in Pueblo

Attempting...to be as organized as possible. It's one of those times where my tendency toward type-A pops up (I would say I'm normally a type-B.) I am slowly packing up my classroom and slowly packing up my house and slowly transitioning things to where they need to be for the next 9ish months (when it will probably be time to move again). I'm taking a very methodical approach, involving piles of things and carrying something with me every time I go to the car or to the house(s). 

Laughing at....

I hate that I can tend to laugh at Sean Lowe's jokes so much.
