So once again I'm going to try to make this a regular feature. I got really bad about updating at the end of 2020. Hopefully I'll get better at checking in regularly. As always, I'm linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews and The Sunday Post at The Caffeinated Reviewer.
So it's been about a month since I've done a life update and what can I say except life has been trying. I can't really complain because we are all safe and healthy and even though we've had a few weeks of rough weather, it's not even close to what others have been going though. My thoughts and prayers go out to so many people who have experience horrible things in the past month.
Also, Gpa's dementia has been getting worse and I've trying to get Stupid Uncle to step up and do something because I've been at my wit's end a few times. I love my Gpa dearly but he's stated taking off at night and I worry about his safety. Luckily the past few weeks have mellowed a tad.
So on to the positives! Cass and Apollo are doing great. Cass has been having some sensitive stomach issues but overall he's good. He also got to see his girlfriend Emma when we walked today so that made his week. Also, the job I mentioned in my last update... I got it! My first day is March 1st so I've been wrapping things up at my old job and will be enjoying a week's vacation this coming week before starting my next chapter. Also, Mr. Barb got a promotion at work and is now running his own substance abuse treatment unit within the work release. I'm so proud of him
On to reading and watching. Movies have been scarce but we did watch Pretty Little Things with Denzel Washington. It was decent but slower than I anticipated. We watched the entire new The Stand limited series and I loved it! Of course, I REALLY disliked that book and the series cut so much out of it that I am sure that's why it was such a hit for us. However, the last episode came out of nowhere and I'm not really sure why they went in that direction unless that wanted to try to set things up for a season 2. We also watched the new Wrong Turn which was nothing like the original and actually had a more Viking feel to it which was VERY odd.
I've been reading quite a bit and am behind on reviews. Hope to get three dog related titles up next week to end up They Call It Puppy Love month on a high note. Here's what I'm currently reading.
