#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for October 15th – 21st.
  • We’re moved into the house and have most of our stuff out of the guest house.  I also spent a lot of time unpacking boxes that have been in our garage since we closed on the house and finding homes for everything.
  • Tomorrow is Dewey’s 24-Hour #Readathon, and then on Monday I start my new job, so I’m not doing anything other than reading and enjoying my weekend (other than laundry, anyway).
  • If you have a FitBit, you can find me HERE.

The Boyfriend and I are one story away from finishing Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror. We’ve watched all of “Midnight Mass” and are now a couple of episodes into “Brand New Cherry Flavor,” which is extremely weird.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for October 8th – 14th.
  • We are officially moving out of the guest house tomorrow, and I’ve been spending most of my time doing everything I can think of to make the transistion easier.  I’m honestly not sure how my FitBit didn’t track all that activity, even though I was dripping sweat like I had been doing some serious cardio.

It’s October! The Boyfriend and I are continuing to read Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror together. We’ve also watched all of “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and have started watching “Midnight Mass.” On Saturday, I continued watching “Supernatural”, and it’s gotten good again, so far. I still plan to at least finish season 13, and then I’ll decide if I want to continue.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for October 1st – 7th.
  • The renovation is done!  Now I’m cleaning (so much dust), and putting furniture together, and putting everything in place.  The house is starting to look like a home, and in about a week, the Boyfriend and I will hopefully be moving out of the guest house and getting the cats settled in.

It’s October! The Boyfriend and I started reading Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror together. It’s a book of Middle-Grade Horror short stories, and I think we’re going to read one story a night.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for September 24th – 30th.
  • The new carpet has been installed upstairs, but now the baseboards are all messed up and will need to be repainted.  In the meantime, I’ve been vacuuming up all of the loose carpet fibers and doing as much other work as I can without the Boyfriend’s help (who hurt his back and has been taking it easy).

I can’t believe it’s almost October already! I’ve finished 7 books for RIP, started two others (one physical, one audio), and I started listening to my “October Country” playlist. I still haven’t decided which book to read for “Peril of the Real” so I can get my first Bingo, but both of my current reads are over 700 pages, so I’ve got some time to figure it out.

#FitReaders Check-In

  • This check-in is for September 17th – 23rd.
  • I had to do some more yard work this week, after it finally stopped raining, and I’ve been moving stuff around in the house to make it easier for the painters to finish up.  I’ve also started putting together some of the furniture the Boyfriend and I got since the first floor of the house is now 99% done.

It’s the 3rd week of #RIPXVI and I’m still flying through pages. I’ve finished 5 books, started two others (one physical, one audio), and I’m just over halfway through the 13th season of “Supernatural.” It might be my last season, though, because it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous, and major stuff that would’ve taken them two or three episodes in earlier seasons now takes them less than half an episode to do. I’m also getting really tired of the overarching storyline and really miss the back-to-back good old-fashioned monster hunting and killing episodes. I’m going to try to at least finish the season before I move on to something else. I just have to figure out what to read for “Peril of the Real” so I can get my first Bingo.
