Morning on this 1st November. October is over and done with. Two more months of 2015. Time is flying by.
I was still super tired this week. My voice went hoarse on Monday morning so that was why I’ve been feeling so crap last week (it tends to start that way). It always drains so much out of me. It’s not super hoarse so for the most part people can still understand me. It’s not from a cold either. The speech therapist and I suspect it is hormonal so there isn’t much I can do about it. It will just keep coming back. Sometimes it is accompanied with a cold because my immune system is lower during those periods, and it makes the hoarseness worse. All I can do is try and rest when I can.
My week at work was a bit messy. I had an incident on Monday. Thursday I had to work the morning than do a day shift at a client work place ( 7.00 to 16.00 overal). It was so much rushing in the first few hours. It’s really annoying, because in the rush you forget things or things don’t go as they should because you can’t always take the time for them. I ended up leaving late at the end of the day and then was in a traffic jam so I was too late to get my flu shot. Just ugh.
I keep trying to pick up Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, but for some reason I can’t. I did enjoy the first 70 pages or so.
It is always great to wake up to an author liking all of your instagram photos of their book~

Love the stack of books in your haul! Hope this week is better, I hate weeks like that. 🙂 I’ve had that problem with books too, unfortunately-lately there have been some that I just haven’t been able to pick up, for whatever reason.

Thanks.
It’s really annoying. Normally I can just power through. But I guess it might have to do with our moods and how busy we are. 🙂

I hope your voice will get back to normal, and that your fatigue will be left behind, Sigourney! Days like your Thursday suck, because when you have to run through things, it makes you even more stressed and prone to do mistakes.
I hope the week ahead will be fantastic! Happy reading.

It will be, it’s slowly getting better. It’ll just come back though.
Ugh yes, they suck so much. I hope I won’t have one of those any time soon.

I’m okay in regards to the incident. It just wasn’t the best start to the week. The voice is improving slowly. 🙂
