This week:

This week was a little different for me. I had zero ambition and took a break from daily blogging. I got behind of the posts and by the time I got home from work I didn't want to write the post for the next day. So sorry for it being a slow week! I got a new phone and I've been spending most of my time messing around with that. I went to the Tigers game on Friday hoping they would clinch the division but here I am on Sunday still waiting for them to clinch. It's very stressful. 

The library had another book sale so I took huge advantage of that. Overall, it was a very good week. I'm hoping to catch up on my blog posts for this week and maybe post the ones I missed last week. If not, I will post them next month.

This week:

I worked a few days so I didn't get much reading done on those days, but Thursday was my birthday! I had tons of fun and got some awesome presents. The rest of the weekend I just laid back and read a lot on my new Kindle. Saturday night we went to Outback and it was just a fun night. It was a fun week and even though it was a tad stressful at work, it was still a good work week.

This week:

I worked four days this week. I was so tired basically all week, but it was really good! I worked a 12 hour shift and two four hour shifts. I am still trying to get used to going to work regularly, but it's definitely worth it. I also got my first paycheck which I was super excited about. I even got more reading in than I thought I would. I have read during my lunch breaks at work and read as much as I can at home. I'm slowly learning how to find times to read now that I actually need to do that. We're only four days away from my birthday so I'm getting very excited about that.

The Sunday Post: New Blog, New Books, New Beth

This week:
This week was a little different for me. A few days ago I switched over from WordPress to Blogger. I spent a lot more time trying to figure out WordPress than it took me to actually make posts, so I decided to switch over. I'm loving Blogger so far and I think I'm here to stay, at least until I can get a domain and go explore the Plugins at WP. I also put in an application for a job at an assisted living facility. About three days after that I got a call asking for an interview. Less than two hours after the job interview I got a call saying I had the job. I start this Tuesday! So, life seems totally different now than it did last Sunday. It's a good one, though and I'm really happy.
