Most of my recent manual labour involves cleaning up my parents‘ horrifically messy basement. (It‘s already so much neater, yet a casual observer might think I‘d done nothing.) Today I dug out Jacob, their turtle. He used to have his own bedroom (ie, he lived on the bed in their spare room), which led many, many people to think I had a brother named Jacob.
I also listened to all of another enjoyable Japanese mystery from the 1980s. #audiocleaning

I enjoyed the re-visit of this one. It felt too real/too haunting. I don't know if I would have been able to act in a similar way to the MC did. Like I get it, but could I? I highly doubt it.
Cleaned/organized my pantry for a big chunk of this #AudioCleaning (while drinking Bloody Mary's) - Love the new organization now.
Getting some work done today. #AudioCleaning #AudioOrganizing I did 4 out of 6 drawers so far (getting things to donate). Put away some of the laundry. The chair is almost cleared out!
#Weekendreads #WeekendReading
Read 60 pages of ‘The Swap‘ late last night. A 2019 ARC from a GR giveaway - so long overdue🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ This afternoon is full of #Audiocleaning with ‘Out Came the Sun‘ followed by some colouring & reading for self-care.
Hoping for a good reading weekend! My goals for the 2 readathons are to:
1) finish my current read (tagged book)
2) start on My Roommate Is a Vampire (my #doublespin for this month)
3) complete the other 3 books, which are all pretty short cozies
4) clean my house because the last couple of days haven‘t gone as planned 😂

🤓📚With this, I‘ve concluded reading the fun & flirty Hot Zone‘ series. Happy I found this on Audible. It both came in handy for some #audiocleaning & for all the R&R needed by back.
so-soI enjoyed this one. I had started reading it a couple of times then stopped (d/t it being very um... similar to the previous - fun, drama, love triangle, mystery, repeat). Anyway, I finished this during my #AudioCleaning today (not much cleaning, but some).

Sorry you're having to deal with such a hard chore. It's so frustrating when you can't even see the fruits of your labor! 4d
