Willpower, I have none, Post #4

Welp, I need to catch up on my journal (which I started Jan 1 and flailed at yesterday), I need to write my assigned number of words, and I need to get ready for work. Do I want to do any of this? No. The only thing I managed to do yesterday that I'd planned to do was eat relatively healthily.

La la la. I spent yesterday putting out fires at work (figurative) and booking for my next holiday in May (literal). Am I burned out? Oh yes. Oh so very much yes.

It's hideously, record-setting hot in the subtropics this week; the weather should break Friday, but until then....Master Danger is currently stretched out in front of the fan, trying to hog the breeze. Ah well.

So what else can I talk about?

*Thrilled that Zawe Ashton signed with heavy-hitting talent agency CAA. That probably means she's moving to LA or NYC, but... yay Zawe!

*Just got All The Ways We Said Goodbye, whose blurb reads "The New York Times bestselling authors of The Glass Ocean and The Forgotten Room return with a glorious historical adventure that moves from the dark days of two World Wars to the turbulent years of the 1960s, in which three women with bruised hearts find refuge at Paris’ legendary Ritz hotel." Look, that is ALL MY JAM. Now of course it joins my tottering TBR pile (virtual), but when I get to it I will report back. :)

*Thinking a lot about Sacha Dhawan in Doctor Who. Like, a lot.

*Thanks to Anne_D for an awesome present which came in the mail! Thank you!

Happy mid-week to all, and may you have fun stuff to consider

What I forgot to mention about Sheku Kanneh-Mason is that he has 6 very talented siblings. There is an article about them here which hopefully isn't region specific. My jaw drops when I read about them :)

Sacha Dhawan is very look-at-able, isn't he.

Sorry you're burned out, and I hope the rest of the week is kinder.

Sorry about the heat wave...we've been having actual snow all morning. As I have no reason to leave the fireplace except to get more wood, I’m perfectly happy with it, but I feel for you.
