I’m back! I’ve been on vacation with my hubby, and I’m planning to share some things about how I memory keep later on. We got back last week, and I have a few updates for you, so let’s get right to it!
What I Read
I did indeed read Big Time by Laura Vanderkam. I had a nice long plane ride to work on it, and also some down time where I could read. I also listen to her Best of Both Worlds podcast and subscribe to her newsletter and Substack (the free version), so there wasn’t much that was completely new to me in the book since she’s been talking about these concepts for a while. Still, I enjoy reading her books. Having all her thoughts and tips related to the subject of living large in a busy life in one place was a good way to consume it.
I’ve also made a good amount of progress reading Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon. I’m a little over halfway done now. I’m really enjoying this one, especially just after having listened to the previous volumes as audiobooks.
I’m also still working on The Confessions of St. Augustine, but I’m really almost finished with this one. I was not able to read that much of this one on vacation, but I expect to have finished it by next week.
What I Watched
I realized that season 4 of The Diplomat was coming out in (now) less than a month on October 15, so I started rewatching it on Netflix. I just finished watching season 1 for the second time.
I’ve also watched a few episodes of Seinfeld here and there. I don’t know if I’ve told you, but I like to use quotes (usually) from Seinfeld as my Skype status at work!
Then, while we were away, hubby and I watched some episodes of 8 Simple Rules when we were at the AirBnB and wanted some down time. It’s funny, it seems like every time we take a vacation we have just one show that we watch, but it’s always something different!
What I Listened To
There’s nothing new here. I’ve been listening to my usual podcasts, but I didn’t listen to them at all on vacation, so I had a lot waiting for me when I got home. I’m still working through the backlog.
I also still haven’t started a new audiobook. Of course, I usually listen to those at work, and today was my first day back, so I think I may get the urge to start one soon. I’ll update next week if I do!
Well, it was great to have a break, but it also feels pretty good to get home and get back into the usual routine! How about you? I’m curious, do you have different media habits on vacation vs at home? Have you made any exciting progress since I last posted? Feel free to chat about it in the comments!
