Librarybelle I think this would be a fun weekly checkin! It‘s been very hot in my part of PA, but also sunny. I have a busy week ahead, as I am nearing completion of my coursework in proofreading. I also have a number of library books due that I should read! But, this Sunday is a visit to a winery with a friend for a wine and ice cream pairing. Yum! 4d

IndoorDame @Librarybelle congrats on coming to the end of your coursework, that‘s big! And wine and ice cream sounds fun, totally a pairing Ive never tried and now want to! 4d

BethM It is pouring here in WI. Today I need to teach yoga and tomorrow is church, Sam‘s club, and the bookstore! 4d

IndoorDame I‘m also enjoying our check ins and would be down to continue them. I‘m feeling better than last week. Still nursing the tail end of whatever bug I had, but definitely strong enough to start catching up on the household stuff that fell by the wayside (at least in small bursts) so that‘s probably what my week looks like. But I‘m actually looking forward to it since having my space in balance is one of the things that centers me mentally. 4d

Librarybelle Thanks, @IndoorDame ! The winery does lots of fun pairings, so it‘ll be a good time, and perfect weather for ice cream. Good luck with your household stuff! 4d

TheSpineView I like the idea of a weekly check-in. Just my usual plans for the weekend, ride and go to lunch with my barn friends, then home to get some housework done. Hot here so the riding will be short today. Next week it will be hellish hot, in the upper 90s with a heat index well over 100. Just as well that I have to work next week. At the AC in the office works well. 4d

wanderinglynn I just worked out & did my stretching, so feeling pretty good. It‘s going to be 99/100F in DC this weekend = staying inside with the blinds closed & the fan running on high. I‘m working on updating a paper I wrote about 10 years ago but didn‘t publish. That & reading are my plans. The heat wave is supposed to continue through next week, although this weekend is the peak temps. 🥵 90 is going to feel cool after this weekend. 😆 4d

IndoorDame @TheSpineView I rode growing up, and I remember at my outdoor stable they used to have us ride bareback when the weather got obscenely hot or obscenely cold (for the horses comfort not ours, though I doubt anyone was actually comfortable 😂) 4d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle 🎉🎉🎉🎉 yay!! Enjoy Sunday! 4d

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame The nasty viruses of late have been awful! So glad you‘re on the mend! I get it with the house stuff! 4d

TheBookHippie @wanderinglynn oh a paper! How wonderful to revisit and revise. Why yes I‘m a nerd. 4d

TheBookHippie @TheSpineView this heat 😵‍💫 4d

TheBookHippie Sunday is forecasted the last day of miserable heat here. We shall see. I‘m doing chores in the house today, the heat and my RA are NOT friends. I‘m about to make waffles and cut up the oranges and get my pour over coffee going. I finished up most of my Litsy love writing last night so a couple of more letters to write today too. My flare is tapering off thank goodness. Reading to do this afternoon - library books are due! 4d

TheBookHippie I watched Black Barbie on Netflix and enjoyed it! 4d

Librarybelle Thanks, @TheBookHippie ! 4d

IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I‘m so happy to hear your flare is tapering off! That makes everything in life better 💜 4d

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 4d

peaKnit Rainy weekend in WI, I need to clean but want to read, I‘ll try to get to both :) 4d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle great job on nearing the end of your course. Your plans sound amazing! 🍷🍧 4d

AllDebooks @BethM a bookstore visit is always a win, especially on rainy days x 4d

AllDebooks @IndoorDame so glad you're starting to feel better. X 4d

AllDebooks @TheSpineView jeez, that's 🥵 Enjoy your ride x 4d

Cuilin This has been one of my best weeks pain and mobility wise. Almost no stiffness. I met up with friends. Went to a game and I‘m off to a Bridal shower today. I need to watch out for fatigue but so far I feel good. Best week of the year. 4d

AllDebooks @wanderinglynn I could not cope with these temps! Enjoy your reading x 4d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie So glad you're recovering from your flareup. Take it easy x 4d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie oooh, this does look good. I shall be watching this. Thanks for the recommendation. X https://m.imdb.com/title/tt26593387/ 4d

AllDebooks @peaKnit rainy days = reading days. It's the law 😊 4d

AllDebooks @Cuilin That's amazing. Glad you're able to make the most of your time. Sounds a fun weekend x 4d

Cuilin @TheBookHippie I understand the flair ups and downs. I‘m just coming off a 3+ month PsA or Lupus flare (med team still undecided) I also need to catch up on #LL Enjoy your waffles. 4d

AllDebooks I'm gardening and catching up on #buddyreads inbetween ferrying my teens around their shenanigans. 😅 4d

Cuilin @IndoorDame I like everything ordered too. It makes me feel calm. Do you listen to audiobooks or music when you‘re doing housework? 4d

Cuilin @AllDebooks Gardening sounds lovely. I actually miss the teenagers around. Though I get to see my eldest today as it‘s her friend‘s Bridal shower. 4d

wanderinglynn @TheBookHippie yay for nerds! 🤓🎉🙌🏻 4d

mcctrish I love this idea! I slept in, the heat wave is alive and well here & I‘m hoping the humidity does abate a bit too @TheBookHippie I‘m thankful for a/c but I hate having the house closed up after winter. I‘ve got a giant cold brew with foamed milk in front of me and I‘m trying to catch up with Butter for #camplitsy we still have another week of school and last week lasted FOREVER. I am helping serve a meal at a church today, it will be busy 4d

mcctrish @Cuilin I‘m so happy to hear you are feeling great 4d

peaKnit @AllDebooks it‘s the law! I love that!! 👮 4d

mcctrish @TheBookHippie I‘m glad to hear you are on the other side of a flare and can enjoy your summer holidays 4d

AllDebooks @peaKnit 😊 4d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle @IndoorDame @TheSpineView @mcctrish I'm up for keeping it running. I'll post it as a play/tag/share game once #MidsummerSolace is over. It will make a nice communal weekend #SaturdayChatterdy followed by Sunday #Hyggehour 💚 4d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin 😵‍💫 I get it. I‘m just now starting to get a grip on my life since having COVID 2022 - not good for RA, migraines and my immune system issues. Good days are wonderful. I‘d give advice but I always overdue good days. 😵‍💫 Enjoy your day!! ♥️ 4d

TheBookHippie @mcctrish gads I forget you‘re still in school 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 4d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks yes keep weekly running ♥️ 4d

IndoorDame @Cuilin I do! Especially anything repetitive like dishes, I find them super overwhelming otherwise but kinda meditative with an audiobook 😂. So glad to hear you had a good week and were able to take full advantage of it! That up and down cycle with chronic illness is something I‘m familiar with. 4d

Librarybelle Thanks, @AllDebooks ! 4d

AllDebooks I need it too. It really helps ground me for the week. It has been a very stressful year so far and I have a lot ongoing, still. These events are a true solace and I truly appreciate and love your responses x 4d

TEArificbooks We finally have a week with no plans. My hubby travels for work so when he comes home for a week or two between jobs we usually pack it full of family fun activities and appointments. We even go on trips while he is home even though he travels for a living. However, the cosmos aligned this time and we have no plans no appointments no trips. So it is time for a lazy week at home and to hide from the triple digits temps. 4d

kspenmoll I was on my porch reading u til the heat drove me inside. Since then, hunkered down in AC, reading, lunching, soon to watch MASH the movie with Donald Sutherland. 4d

kspenmoll Yes, this chat is a nice check in with everyone! 4d

kspenmoll @Cuilin Keep taking care of yourself as best you can. Saw friends-so important! ❤️ I listen to audiobooks or music or NPR depending on on time of day when I cook, clean up. 4d

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Same heat here. Yuk. Enjoy reading now your flare up is receding! 4d

kspenmoll @mcctrish Persevered & read 1/2 of Butter! 4d

kspenmoll @TEArificbooks Enjoy your well deserved lazy week! 4d

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie I am so sorry Covid wrecked your body.❤️🩵💙🩷 4d

dabbe 💙💚💙 to everyone! And to all suffering with the heat, hang in there! 4d

AllDebooks My recommendation for today is

The Bells of Old Tokyo: Meditations on Time and a City

DebinHawaii I love the idea of an ongoing weekly check in. 💛 After a month+ of travel & illness (either bronchitis twice or another form of crud) & crazy work times, I‘m starting to feel human again. I‘m out today at the coffee shop trying to catch up on reading Butter for #CampLitsy24 along with catching up on #5JoysFriday posts & getting #LitsyLove & card swap out. (I did not make the solstice!) Definitely feeling the pressure of being behind on so much. 3d

Catsandbooks I like the idea of a weekly check in! Although I would definitely need reminders 😆Next weekend I'm flying up to my mom in WI because she has to have shoulder surgery so I want to be there for extra help. So this week I'm getting ready for that. Doing laundry and other chores this weekend. Least I'll get a little break from the MS heat for a couple weeks. 3d

Avanders Hi! 👋🏽 I was in the mountains in a yurt for several days this week, just getting back yesterday! I rested, showered, unpacked, and read yesterday in lovely weather (70s and gray - unusual for June in NM!). 💕💕 3d

julieclair I would love for this to continue as a weekly play/tag/share game! I‘m late in posting because I spent yesterday reading the selection for my irl book club. It‘s about a smart, independent, modern-thinking woman in 1930s Asheville, NC. The Depression and Prohibition both figure prominently in the plot. It‘s an excellent read:

The Sky Club

julieclair @TheBookHippie @Cuilin So glad your flare-ups are calming down. Chronic pain is so exhausting. 💙💙💙 3d

Cuilin @julieclair oh this would be a wonderful time period for #BookedInTime (edited) 3d

AllDebooks @DebinHawaii great, it's a keeper. Glad you're feeling better but give yourself a break. There's no pressure and you are one busy lady x 3d

AllDebooks @Catsandbooks 🤞 your mum's surgery goes well, and she has a speedy recovery. Enjoy your time with her, and the cooler temps x 3d

AllDebooks @Avanders oh wow! That sounds like absolute heaven x 3d

AllDebooks @julieclair sounds good and dedo a great time period for #BookedinTime @Cuilin 3d

julieclair @Cuilin It definitely would! 3d

Catsandbooks @AllDebooks thank you! 🩷 3d
