Weekly Wrap-Up: July 21, 2019

This week was filled with lots of caffeine and very little sleep. Eventually, I will learn to prioritize sleeping above things like tv show marathons and video games – but this week was not that week, and the next one probably won’t be, either! YOLO, or something, right?

I am happy to say I’ve worked my way through my backlog of book reviews, so I finally feel able to push forward through my current reads and the other stuff staring at me threateningly from my TBR piles. I’ll get to you all eventually, I swear! Just give me time! All I need is time!

More news – Cloud had his 5th birthday this week!! I can’t believe he’s such an old boy now, I still picture him as my small little fat baby that took way longer than normal to open up his eyes (’cause he’s a lazy chunk). We celebrated with selfies and lots of cuddles! 😀 Also, this means I’ve had Polly for a little over 5 years now! I love my little doggos very much and can’t imagine life without them. ❤

I saw a pig during one of my deliveries at my fourth job this week, she was majestic and amazing! I also finally started seeing little jalapeno babies growing from my plant, which is AWESOME! I have a black thumb and can normally keep nothing alive, whether it’s a flower or a cactus or a succulent, lol. Growing jalapenos is a big win for my low level gardening skills!
