Stacking the Shelves #185 Sunday Post #182 Sunday Salon #176

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? We hiked again last weekend, and my son started college on Monday, after taking 3 years off of school and just working. It was another busy week and Thursday I noticed the toddler I nanny was getting sick, so yesterday (Friday), my boss ended up giving me the day off, as the baby and her husband was sick! I feel like I am coming down with something, please pray I don't get sick, or it goes away quickly, as we are going to TN next weekend for a sibling reunion so my mom can see us all together again before she passes (terminal cancer, she may have a year or two, but wants to travel now, while she still feels up to it). It has been 13 years since we were all together, and one of my nephews wasn't even born then. Today we are planning to do another hike, and my son is off so he can join us! Other than that and Church tonight, I plan to read, blog, and relax this weekend.

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your te  shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks.

    Fingers crossed you don't get sick...take lots of Zicam and Vitamin C. And your sibling reunion sounds like such a great moment to all be together with your mom. I hope and pray you can pull it off.

      Thanks Lark! Yes, I have been doing ALL the things to try and stay healthy. We were going to go to church tonight, but decided it would be best to stay in and watch online (it's a large church), so we don't pick up anymore germs.

    I do hope you are able to avoid getting sick. Staying in until the reunion sometimes sounds like a good plan.

    A four book week is a great week, I think!

      Karis, it's the season, isn't it? When it starts making its rounds again...which reminds me, I need to get my flu shot.

      Ethan, I think it's the best way to go when you don't know what you want to do.

    Good luck to your son this school year! I hope you feel better soon and it passes before the reunion. I am sorry about your mom. Cancer sucks. I hope you have a good week and enjoy your reading!

    Sorry for my very delayed comment - I was sick. And now I am so hoping you didn’t get sick, especially with such an important reunion this weekend. Wishing you all the best.

      Olivia, I am so sorry to hear you have been sick! I hope you are feeling MUCH better. I didn't get full blown sick, just low energy. Hopefully it doesn't hit while we are there.
