- We are currently having our one nice week of spring (which feels like summer) so I’ve been trying to spend as much time outside as possible! (Ha, just look how much the temp is dropping on Saturday.)
- The earlier sunrises are helping me get up early! I tend to follow a pattern where I get up earlier and earlier with the sun until around or just after the solstice then I can’t keep it up anymore and start sleeping later again. Here we go!
- My snister sent me a Target giftcard (thank you snis!) and I treated myself to something I rarely buy – a book! And I am LOVING this book. I just wish I could remember where I heard about it. I used to meticulously track book recs but that is something I stopped during my efforts to quick tracking so damn much.
- I had to do a data call request at the director level at work (they disseminated the request down) and everyone got the data back to me early. I was so pleased they got it done early, but the more I think about it, the more this simple exercise really illustrates how global my new role (we reorganized a year ago and my role was redefined) is at work and who I have access to and who takes me seriously. That won’t make sense to anyone but me, but there it is.
A new Instagram gripe (re: my rock painting account) – they got rid of the filter that allows me to sort notifications by comments, tags & mentions, and follows. When this filter worked, once I filtered, it showed all of them so I could see what I had missed responding to. Now, it went back to only showing the last 100 notifications, and it shows them all together – likes, comments, tags & mentions, and follows. It’s annoying to see them all together, but worse, if I was not on my phone and missed a tag/mention that was older than 100 notifications, I’m never going to see it. Meta probably thought this would make people want to be on there more so they don’t miss things, but it just makes me want to be on there less. Shrug. I can still see all comments on my posts from Business Suite on my desktop but if someone responds to me on their post or tags me in theirs I will likely miss it now. Ha. They brought this back yesterday, after I had drafted out my long gripe. Woo hoo!

THIS WEATHER! I am trying to be outside as much as possible and get as much yardwork done as possible because it won’t be like this again until July! What a week! I feel like a different person, honestly. I had forgotten what summer NGS was like and this is such a good reminder that better days are just around the corner.
LOL you are so right it will not be like this again until July. Midwest weather is really bizarre.
It makes me so happy to read it’s making you feel so good!!!
The Stand-In looks really cute! I like that cover. I hope you like it!
And I’m glad you’re finally have some nice weather. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL in Florida lately, and I’m so stunned. Give me all of the 70-degree days!
It was really good! I think you would like it!
Aww yay, I am glad you are having good weather too!
