The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
Happy Sunday!
We had another weirdly warm week, but the temps didn't stay warm long with the shorter days. It was beautiful in the afternoon and we spent some time sitting on our front porch. It was a busy week of appointments and I had to work yesterday. I think the source of my pain is a medication I was taking, because testing showed my gallbladder is normal. I've discontinued.
I had a massage and it was bliss! It's been a long time!
This week will be a busy one workwise.
The trees are finally starting to change color. You can't see the one on the right yet, but it turns red. The one in the middle, a Holland Maple turns bright yellow. We have a few dogwoods also, but they just started. A late fall here.
Starla tuckered out after staying out all night! The weather has been nice so we couldn't get Smokey and Starla in one night. Bad kitties!
Two fall puzzles!

Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants by Annette Marie & Rob Jacobsen-4 Stars
Didn't get much reading done because of all the appointments and Love Felt Like This was just shy of 500 pages! A little long for a contemporary romance, but it held my attention. Rogue Ghosts was for the read along I'm participating in hosted by Anne @Books of My Heart. I hope to attend the chat today!

How was your week?
Our weather is also unusual warm still but it's slowly getting colder. I will have to order winter tires.
ReplyDeleteWe're cooling down, too.
DeleteOur weather has been all over the place but this week should be nice. So glad to hear you will be on the chat!!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Same here, but it's going to be beautiful in the coming week. I was happy to attend!
DeleteA massage sounds delightful. I have never had one, but it's on our bucket list..lol
ReplyDeleteIt was! Especially given that my job has done a number on my body! It was very therapeutic!
DeleteWhew! So glad no operations were involved in the pain relief mystery. And look at sweet Starla. So sweet. I don't miss Arkansas but I do miss the gorgeous changing of the leaves in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things I didn't love about SoCal, the constant sameness of the weather. I love having seasons here!
DeleteFall weather is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteWe had a lovely cool front Friday so we enjoyed some pleasant weather this weekend. It's supposed to warm back up into the high 80s this week. I hope discontinuing your medication helps your pain.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, Rachel! Your week sounds like the perfect autumn balance of cosy and busy — finishing two fall puzzles and enjoying a blissful massage sounds like an ideal combination. I was browsing some thoughtful bookish gift ideas over at oncbrothers and it made me think of your reading posts. Hope the coming busy work week treats you kindly!

DeleteWas glad to see you made it to the chat too! Yeah, the weather has been nice, then we had cold this weekend, but it will be back to upper 70s by the end of this week! Crazy. I do miss having a puzzle out in my library like I did at my last school. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit one in at my new library, but it might be a little bit more for me to deal with than I am ready for at a new job. Hope you have a good week!
