Fri 011626 - 36 ORD cozy Green Couch w/Buzz - We’re enjoying relaxing together to start our weekend. Nice to finish this while having Buzz cuddle here w/me. Larry’s enjoying watching FallOut. I liked this book, trying to decide if I like it more than Housemaid. I reached my 4th Month Anniversary w/RoviSys yesterday w/big milestones this week taking on PM responsibility for 2 new major projects w/2 new clients.

011526 - 36 ORD - I read a bit yesterday on the couch after dinner, though admittedly fell asleep holding the book up on my chest. That’s funny. It has been a while since I fell asleep reading. That’s a good sign my sleep has improved. Nearly finished with this. I’m happy to be making time to read for fun again, it’s a refreshing break. My vocabulary has expanded a lot with reading!

Weds 011426 - 36 ORD - I enjoyed reading last night in bed to relax after dinner & wind down. I’ve been assigned as Project Manager for 2 BIG projects as of last Thursday which is exciting & also shifting my workload A LOT. Taking some time to unwind felt good & I went to bed early. Feeling refreshed today. I want to read a lot this year, after not doing so much in 4Q25 when I started working again.

Mon 011226 - 36 ORD Cozy Green Couch - I enjoyed reading on the couch after playing my brain games & having some cuddle time w/Stitch while Larry watched American Revolution on PBS by Ken Burns. Nice quiet evening though I’ve stayed up too late. We’ve been enjoying the Christmas afterglow with our tree & decorations still up & savoring memories of time well spent as a family. So special having the kids home.

Sat 011026 - 36 ORD - I’ve made some time to relax & read the last two evenings before bed as part of winding down. I’m enjoying this book so far, & perhaps this may be my favorite book of hers that I’ve read so far. I’ve always enjoyed medical dramas over my life like Quincy MD, St Elsewhere, ER, & more recently Pitt. This is a mix of ER & Pitt in some ways so a bit fascinating in that regard.

Weds 010726 - 36 ORD - I enjoyed starting this tonight before going to sleep, with both Stitch & Buzz cuddling. This is an entertaining & easy read so it is going to be a quick one. So far, I like it. Getting back into some healthier routines in the new year & I’ve been progressively feeling mentally & physically better day by day, I’m happy to be reading more for fun again. I missed that the last few months.
