Hello, reader!

Happy snowy Sunday, depending on where you live, haha. I was skeptical we would be getting as bad of a storm as they predicted but… well… New England is proving me wrong 😅 I’m so glad I didn’t have to work today and could enjoy the snow from my cozy house. I do have to work tomorrow so wish me luck out there!

For now, though, it’s time to recap last week in my Sunday Post! Let’s catch up on what I’ve been getting into.


Ya girl was in pain this past week. I was having a lot of abdominal pain, so much so that I ended up calling out of work one day and going to urgent care. Apparently, I have a UTI 🫠 Clearly I have not had a lot of those cause I thought there was something way worse going on, lol. No one told me a UTI could hurt so bad! Thankfully, I’m now on antibiotics and I’m feeling a lot better. I did catch up on some reading whilst I was curled up in bed with my heating pad, though. I’ve already read 7 books this month, which is one more than I read last January! I’m pretty happy about that.

I was off this weekend which meant that I got to go hangout with my best friend on Saturday. She lives in actual Boston (unlike me, living my best life out in the ‘burbs 😂), so we don’t get to see each other nearly as much as I would like to. Like, ya know… every day. We went to yoga, had brunch at this tapas place called Barcelona with some yoga gals, and went to visit our mom (she’s pretty much adopted me at this point). Mom isn’t doing great and is currently in rehab trying to heal from a broken arm. Thankfully, my best friend has a job where she can visit almost every day, so at least mom isn’t alone. Still, I can’t wait til she’s well enough to get out of there.

Today, since we were most definitely not going anywhere, I broke out the January This Month’s Craft box! My husband got me a subscription for Christmas and it’s become a fun activity for my son and I to do together. Last month was soap making and this month is pottery! We made pinch pots (or bowls from the way the shapes turned out, lol) and are currently letting them dry before we do the decorating. I’ll make sure to share photos of the final products!

The Sunday Post: January 18th, 2025

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme created by @CaffeinatedReviewer! It gives you a chance to post a recap of your last week, whether that pertains to books or not. You can talk about however much (or however little) you would like.


Hello, reader!

Ya girl is coming to you after a looong day at work and I am tired. Thankfully, tomorrow is a holiday and I don’t have to cover it this year, so I get to relax a wee bit. I plan to spend some of that down time reading, of course, but sleeping in is what I’m really looking forward to 😂

Before that, it’s time for this week’s Sunday Post! I actually left the house for things other than work this past week so I have stuff to talk about, haha. Let’s jump into it.


I had a day off this week because I was working the weekend and I spent that hunting down a book. I’m participating in a read-along for the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and I had purchased the first book in 2025 in preparation. I have a bad habit of buying all the books in a series when I haven’t even cracked the first book open (looking at you, Jade City…), so I told myself that I was only going to get Dungeon Crawler Cart, just in case I ended up not being into it. Welp, I spent my Thursday tracking down the next three books in the series and I probably wouldn’t bought all of them if hardcovers weren’t so expensive! So you could say I’m liking the series, lol.

The husband and I were actually social this week, as well, and went out to karaoke with some friends from the choir group we’re in. It was at this tiny Chinese restaurant/lounge that has karaoke every Friday and Saturday night, which apparently is a thing here near Boston. I dunno, maybe it’s a thing everywhere and I just wasn’t paying attention before, lol. Either way, it was a lot of fun! There weren’t a ton of people, so we got to sing pretty much all we wanted to and, as mentioned, it was with a bunch of choir folk, so showtunes were involved. It’s also the reason I’m so tired today because we didn’t get home til midnight and I had to be up by 5:30 am😅 Still, it’s nice to be social every once in awhile!

Now I’m just preparing myself mentally for the fac that we’re supposed to get snow tonight (BOO) and waiting for some comfort food. The plan for after dinner is to curl up with a book, a hot cocoa I extorted my husband into making, and my heating pad. It’s gonna be amazing 💖

The Sunday Post: January 11th, 2026

Hello, reader!

Today on the blog, I’m trying out a new sort of post for my little corner of the internet. I’m always yapping about books here but not often yapping about other aspects of my life. And, yes, books take up a significant portion of my daily life, but there is more to it than just reading! Somedays. *cough*

Following that vein of thought, I’ve decided to start doing The Sunday Post created by @CaffeinatedReviewer! This is a blog news meme that gives you a chance to post a recap of your last week, whether that pertains to books or not. You can talk about however much (or however little) you would like. I do love a flexible meme. I’m excited to participate and give you all a little peek into my life beyond books!


You will soon learn through these Sunday Post that my life consists mostly of going to work, coming home, and making sure my family keeps running smoothly 😅 That’s partly why I want to try to go on more adventures in 2026 because, though I do love being at home, I’m feeling the need to broaden my horizons!

That being said, the most exciting thing that got me out of the house this past week was a dentist appointment, lol. But, an activity I’m super happy to be getting back into that doesn’t involve going outside is Dungeons & Dragons! My husband and I are both fans of the game, but we haven’t had a consistent group to play with for the past few years. Finally, he had had enough (the man loves to DM) and gathered a few of our long-distance friends and family to see if they wanted to start a new campaign. Lucky us, they said yes! So we started our run of The Rime of the Frostmaiden. I made an elven wizard, a race and class I haven’t played in D&D as of yet. Well… if we’re not counting Baldur’s Gate 3. I’m excited to dive more into her character!

There was also a library run that I accomplished on Saturday cause I need some library time. I ended up checking out four new books, but I’ll be talking about those in a post later this week. Stay tuned 😉
