The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It's a chance to share news: a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books,
and share what's coming up on your blog in the week ahead.
It's been a good week! I worked only three days and was off Thursday and Friday. One might even think there was a correlation between those two statements. :) I had several days off planned since we had a trip booked. We cancelled the trip last month (Covid numbers in Florida have skyrocketed over the summer) but I decided to take the time off anyway. It's been fabulous to do whatever I want with no schedule, hit a few stores on off-hours without crowds, and just enjoy the downtime. I don't go back to the office until Wednesday and I'm so looking forward to the next few days.
Today I'll be driving out to the beach for a visit with my sister. She's had a lot of home renovation done over the last several months and I'm excited to see the finished product. It's been a while since I've seen her so I'm looking forward to a good visit.
This week's 80's music fix is Dreamtime (1986) by Daryl Hall. Enjoy!

How was your week? I'd love to hear about it!
Have fun at your sisters place! And enjoy those days off :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Esther - I'm looking forward to both. :)
DeleteHow lovely to have a short week of work and a nice long weekend - I think there is definitely a correlation with that and your happiness! 😉 On the other hand, my work has mostly been made of work and early nights, except for a much deserved hair cut. 💇♀️ Take care and happy reading! 😃
ReplyDeleteA new haircut can be such a treat and lift your spirits. I did the same on Saturday and felt great afterwards! :)
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful visit with your sister. NJ's rate of transmission is rising and has had over 27K covid deaths.
ReplyDeleteOh no, sorry to hear it, Sam. It's not like me to be down and discouraged, but over a year and a half of this is definitely taking its toll. I am not at all hopeful that this will end any time soon.
DeleteThat stinks that you had to cancel your trip, but that's great that you still took the time off work. It's so nice to just relax for a few days!
ReplyDeleteSo true! Today is my last day off and I've been loving all the down time.
DeleteEnjoy your free time! I had the week off and it was bliss too!
ReplyDeleteWe must have been on the same wavelength, Sophie, taking the same week off. :)
DeleteI hope you enjoy the time with your sister! It is always disappointing to cancel stuff since it feels like we don't have quite as much to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Deanna. We've cancelled at least three trips now (maybe more?). It's become pretty disheartening since I see no end in sight.
DeleteThat's wonderful you were able to take time off and relax and do what you wanted. You made two short weeks which is nice. I hope you enjoy your visit with your sister. I always love it when renovations are finished!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
The renovations at my sister's house were stunning. Which of course gave me loads of ideas... :)
DeleteThat sounds like a fabulous long weekend! And I hope you have an awesome visit with your mom.
ReplyDeleteYou're killing it with the music lately. :):)
When it comes to music, I am blissfully stuck in the 80's. :)
DeleteYea for short work weeks and lots of time for reading! Seems like you have a nice stack of those.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and happy reading.

Thanks Elza! :)
DeleteLOL!! I love that totally random quote!! That't so me!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm happy to read you've been having such a great week. It sounds wonderful. I hope your trip to your sister's place was fun.
Have a great week and happy reading.
Thanks Maureen! We had a great visit. :)
DeleteYeah most states closest to the border are rising in covid numbers and I feel for you all. Our numbers are getting high too, but thankfully our deaths are staying low. I do know Florida is also getting many people from our neighbors up north (their restrictions are so bad up in Canada) So lets hope we can ride this wave and that the deaths will be minimal.
ReplyDeleteI was hopeful that the vaccine would turn things around and end this thing, but here we are. It's discouraging to see that so little has changed down here.
DeleteEnjoy your days off!! I have seen the numbers in FL-it is bad! Hopefully people will be careful and protect themselves and others.
ReplyDeleteI've given up thinking people will be careful and protect themselves and others. It's just not going to happen here. :(
DeleteBut it's not wrong.... there's a right way to fold towels...
ReplyDeleteLOL See, you get it. :)
DeleteIt is wonderful that you were able to take some time off of work. I hope that you had a wonderful visit with your sister. I hope that you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole! We had a great visit on Sunday. :)
DeleteI love having time off work, it’s just so lovely to be able to enjoy your time and follow your own schedule. Hope you get a chance to relax and unwind even though you had to cancel the planned trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky! I was a bit bummed about the trip, but hardly surprised. But the off has been heavenly!
DeleteI'm glad you've had the opportunity to take some time off work and relax! I hope you have a great time with your sister! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick, we had a great visit!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear your trip got cancelled but glad you have been enjoying your time off anyway. I hope you had a great visit with your sister. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzanne. It's been amazing to have this time off.
DeleteTime off is such a blessing! Sorry you had to cancel your trip, but it was probably the smart thing to do. Hope you enjoyed your time with your sister, and that you are enjoying your current reads.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark! It was great to see my sister after so long.
DeleteA 3 day work week is ideal (every day lol). I feel you about canceling things. A friend of mine is getting married on Friday and we opted to attend virtually. It just all sucks.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful beach day.
That about sums it up, Amber. :( It just all sucks. Ugh.
DeleteAnd I could get used to those 3 day work weeks! :)
Always, in December is on my TBR. So glad you enjoyed it and the shorter work week!
ReplyDeleteIt was a total tearjerker but I loved it!
