Currently: October 2024 {10.18.24}

Hello and happy Friday friends! I hope your week has gone well and you are looking forward to fun weekend ahead. I'm heading out of town for the weekend with my mom to go to a ladies retreat. We've been doing this for several years now and I look forward to going every year.

Today I'm doing another round of Currently. The idea is to share a bunch of things that are "currently" happening in our life based on the prompts. So without further ado, let's begin!

ANTICIPATING: Tomorrow I'm checking out a new bookstore/cafe/bar with some friends then decorating witches hats with the ladies afterwards and I am so excited.  I went to Joann Fabrics and got a ton of super cute items for us to glue on onto our hats and already purchased a few different hats from Amazon for everyone to pick from.  It will be so much fun. 

CLEANING: Our guest bedroom has become a dumping ground for everything we don't need but can't get rid of and we have company coming in about a month so we need to get in there and clean it all out.  Honestly, at this point 90% of it can likely be thrown away, but we still will need to go through it. 

FEELING: I mentioned this last month but with hubby being laid off last month I have been feeling very overwhelmed.  I understand that it's part of life, but it's just terrible timing with Christmas coming up.  I won't be able to do gifts like I would like to and it makes me sad. 

WATCHING: Okay so there's some new shows that we're really enjoying: High Potential and Doctor Odyssey.  Both are so fun and neat ideas and I love that it's something we can watch together.  I've also been watching Halloween Baking Championship, Only Murders in the Building and Agatha All Along. Oh! And Dancing with the Stars.  Lots of great shows on this Fall. 

PLAYING: I downloaded Monopoly Go on my phone and have been having so much fun playing the game.  The best part is I could potentially earn money just for playing the game.  If you want to sign up and possibly earn some money too, check out InboxDollars: https://appview.inboxdollars.com?rb=196841311

READING: Right now I'm only reading two books:

Dark Witch by Nora Roberts

This book is for a book club tonight and I am excited.  We're dressing up as witches and discussing the book together. It's so much fun.


Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
This one is for a book club on Monday, so I've been listening to it all week.  I would love to sit and read the book but my hands get so tired since the book is do darn thick.  I've been listening/reading on my Kindle all week to get the book done.

RECOVERING: We had a bit of a long few weeks so I've been trying to "catch up" on my sleep.  I know that's not really possible, but I am trying to make sure I get enough sleep so I don't get sick.  The last thing I want is to be sick on my anniversary next weekend. 

TRYING: My friend, Halee, and I have been getting together every few weeks to do crafty projects together and it has been so fun! Our next upcoming project is to make candles and take thrift store art and update it to match our home/holidays. 

WEARING: It's finally cool enough out to wear hoodies and sweaters so I've been taking advantage completely of that by wearing warmer clothing every day.  I love being able to snuggle up in my clothes and I'm happy with the cooler temperatures. 

Well I think that is everything I have for today! Hope you have a great weekend and talk to you next week!

Question of the Day: What do you have going on "currently"?

Have a wonderful day,
Jackie
