Weekend Reading 10/29

Happy Sunday, guys. I'm happily enjoying a rainy day at home today after a very, very busy week. It's funny, I expected things to slow down when we moved here, or at least to feel as though I had more time, but things have only sped way, way up. I have my suspicions that it's due to the days getting shorter, it's been hard to stay motivated past 7pm lately - and also possibly trying to get back to some semblance of routine. I finally joined a local gym, which is a reasonable 30 minute drive away (ha) and also doubles as the local haunted house (double ha). Despite the fact that this is where I grew up, the transition from city mouse to country mouse has been a comedy of errors. I have no idea how long it takes to get places (a general rule: 40 minutes in any direction), I've had several encounters with bugs I'd rather not relive, I've gotten myself lost in the woods, and Halloween movies are 1000x more terrifying when watched in a 200 year old farmhouse in the woods (we watched Stephen King's '1922' last night - good but scary). Anyway - this week I have a lot of work to do, per usual (life seems to revolve around work these days), but I'm hoping to check out a yoga studio in town too. Even though we're not planning on moving to Portland until spring, I've been casually apartment hunting and dreaming of having my own space again - this book from Moorea Seal has been serving up a ton of inspiration.

Anyway, enjoy your Sunday
