The Sunday Post #35

The Sunday Post

Hello readers! It’s time to wrap up my week again. I am feeling so much better in life. Lot’s of things are happening right now and it truly is a year of transformation for me.

The Sunday Post was created by The Caffeinated Reader. In The Sunday Post, you share news each week with your audience. This can be personal, book news, blog news, or anything else you want. Click the creator’s name for more details!

Life Update:

This week I watched the eclipse, like most people did. I took a bunch of pictures through the glasses and they came out well if you really zoom in.

I feel like this eclipse is symbolizing a big change in my life. You know, ten years ago my life completely changed and it’s happening again. I’m trying to stay within a positive energy.

I watched the eclipse by myself. It was really amazing and I hope I can experience one again in the future. I might have to travel to see a full eclipse again, but I totally would do that.

After the eclipse, my mom came home and we went to Wings. I can’t believe how many people there were talking about how no one died. 🤣

People really thought that was going to happen!

Other than that, I think I’m on the very last stretch of my bookkeeping course. I am so nervous about this test because I can only take it once. If I don’t pass it, I have to wait SIX MONTHS. I cannot do that.

After I do pass, I then can do the interview to get the job itself. So much is changing in my life this year. It really is chaos, but I’m trying to find a new normal.

My husband is going through what I think is a midlife crisis at 30 and I don’t have a source of my own income. BUT, it’s all going to be okay!

If he allows me to keep seeing my step daughter, I’d like to focus a lot on doing kid centered stuff with her. We used to do so much when I was the one with the job and I want that era of my life back.

A New Book:

A good thing that happened this week is that one of my mutuals on Booktok sent me a book!

I now have three Brandy Sandy books I need to read that I own. This was sent by LizzyBookish, who also sent me Tress of the Emerald Sea at the end of last year.

I recently started talking about my situation over there and everyone has been so supportive. I have been avoiding Booktok because of all my unread ARCs, but I may get back to it now that I’m feeling better.

I have an urge to post every day this week, so that might happen, too!

What I Watched:

This week I am still watching Hell’s Kitchen, but I’ve also started something completely new.

This week I started watching these tarot readings on YouTube. You know, they may be absolutely full of crap, but they are really making me feel so much better about my situation. And these videos are just speaking to me.

  1. Goodness you’ve got a lot going on just now. Good luck with the test – you’ve got this! Love your eclipse photos. We had a very small partial eclipse but it was raining so nothing to see!
