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! 4mo
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! 4mo
BethM It is pouring here in WI. Today I need to teach yoga and tomorrow is church, Sam‘s club, and the bookstore! 4mo
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. 4mo
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! 4mo
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. 4mo
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. 😆 4mo
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 😂) 4mo
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle 🎉🎉🎉🎉 yay!! Enjoy Sunday! 4mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame The nasty viruses of late have been awful! So glad you‘re on the mend! I get it with the house stuff! 4mo
TheBookHippie @wanderinglynn oh a paper! How wonderful to revisit and revise. Why yes I‘m a nerd. 4mo
TheBookHippie @TheSpineView this heat 😵💫 4mo
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! 4mo
TheBookHippie I watched Black Barbie on Netflix and enjoyed it! 4mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @TheBookHippie ! 4mo
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I‘m so happy to hear your flare is tapering off! That makes everything in life better 💜 4mo
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 4mo
peaKnit Rainy weekend in WI, I need to clean but want to read, I‘ll try to get to both :) 4mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle great job on nearing the end of your course. Your plans sound amazing! 🍷🍧 4mo
AllDebooks @BethM a bookstore visit is always a win, especially on rainy days x 4mo
AllDebooks @IndoorDame so glad you're starting to feel better. X 4mo
AllDebooks @TheSpineView jeez, that's 🥵 Enjoy your ride x 4mo
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. 4mo
AllDebooks @wanderinglynn I could not cope with these temps! Enjoy your reading x 4mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie So glad you're recovering from your flareup. Take it easy x 4mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie oooh, this does look good. I shall be watching this. Thanks for the recommendation. X https://m.imdb.com/title/tt26593387/ 4mo
AllDebooks @peaKnit rainy days = reading days. It's the law 😊 4mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin That's amazing. Glad you're able to make the most of your time. Sounds a fun weekend x 4mo
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. 4mo
AllDebooks I'm gardening and catching up on #buddyreads inbetween ferrying my teens around their shenanigans. 😅 4mo
Cuilin @IndoorDame I like everything ordered too. It makes me feel calm. Do you listen to audiobooks or music when you‘re doing housework? 4mo
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. 4mo
wanderinglynn @TheBookHippie yay for nerds! 🤓🎉🙌🏻 4mo
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 4mo
mcctrish @Cuilin I‘m so happy to hear you are feeling great 4mo
peaKnit @AllDebooks it‘s the law! I love that!! 👮 4mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie I‘m glad to hear you are on the other side of a flare and can enjoy your summer holidays 4mo
AllDebooks @peaKnit 😊 4mo
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 💚 4mo
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!! ♥️ 4mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish gads I forget you‘re still in school 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫 4mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks yes keep weekly running ♥️ 4mo
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. 4mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @AllDebooks ! 4mo
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 4mo
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. 4mo
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. 4mo
kspenmoll Yes, this chat is a nice check in with everyone! 4mo
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. 4mo
kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Same heat here. Yuk. Enjoy reading now your flare up is receding! 4mo
kspenmoll @mcctrish Persevered & read 1/2 of Butter! 4mo
kspenmoll @TEArificbooks Enjoy your well deserved lazy week! 4mo
kspenmoll @TheBookHippie I am so sorry Covid wrecked your body.❤️🩵💙🩷 4mo
dabbe 💙💚💙 to everyone! And to all suffering with the heat, hang in there! 4mo
AllDebooks My recommendation for today is![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Bells of Old Tokyo: Meditations on Time and a City 4mo
The Bells of Old Tokyo: Meditations on Time and a CityDebinHawaii 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. 4mo
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. 4mo
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!). 💕💕 4mo
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 4mo
The Sky Clubjulieclair @TheBookHippie @Cuilin So glad your flare-ups are calming down. Chronic pain is so exhausting. 💙💙💙 4mo
Cuilin @julieclair oh this would be a wonderful time period for #BookedInTime (edited) 4mo
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 4mo
AllDebooks @Catsandbooks 🤞 your mum's surgery goes well, and she has a speedy recovery. Enjoy your time with her, and the cooler temps x 4mo
AllDebooks @Avanders oh wow! That sounds like absolute heaven x 4mo
AllDebooks @julieclair sounds good and dedo a great time period for #BookedinTime @Cuilin 4mo
julieclair @Cuilin It definitely would! 4mo
Catsandbooks @AllDebooks thank you! 🩷 4mo
