Oh, and <strong>Yoga with Adrienne<\/strong>, as I&#8217;m doing her annual January challenge. I&#8217;ve only missed 3 days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reading<\/strong>: I finished another <a href=\"http:\/\/crankymonkeybutt.com\/snip\/archives\/2018\/12\/rooster-2019-preparation.html\">Rooster book<\/a> and a YA sci fi novel (scroll back to previous posts or click on the &#8220;reading&#8221; category to see some comments) and tomorrow I get to start a new book, woo hoo. I believe it will be <strong>&#8220;The Italian Teacher&#8221; by Tom Rachmann<\/strong> which was the next thing on the Rooster list that I could grab at my library branch this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Listening to<\/strong>: hmmmm, I really haven&#8217;t done that much listening over the past couple of weeks.

Much! Water! Yup, I still hate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Knitting<\/strong>: Haven&#8217;t done any in at least a week. Boo, hiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quilting<\/strong>: Still nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sewing<\/strong>: Keep meaning to cut out a few things. Keep not doing it.

No schoolwork on unpaid hours in 2019! Of course that&#8217;ll never happen&#8211;even our weekly lesson planning is on unpaid hours since we do it after school&#8211;but I&#8217;m trying to come out a bit better on my life-work balance this year as us old ladies just can&#8217;t hang with the insane work weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s up with you? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching: All I&#8217;ve watched in the past week or so are the latest episodes of Blackish and New Amsterdam, and some NUMB3RS episodes from beloved season 1.
