☆*:・ﾟ This week’s edition of rainy day baking was zucchini bread! It was my first time trying it and I followed this recipe.
☆*:・ﾟ I swam with flippers for the first time since swimming regularly in January. It was fun and fast :3
☆*:・ﾟ Spent 1.5 hours in bed giving Instagram shout outs on my bookstagram, sharing my favourite posts from my favourite bookstagrammers! Was it the most productive use of time? No. And anyway, I have so few followers that shout outs don’t really do anything for the people I shout out. But it was so inspiring to look through my favourite accounts and chat with them in my DMs. So much love to go around!
☆*:・ﾟ Received my third bookmail! (My first bookmail since starting my bookstagram!) Look out for a full review of The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister on May 15!
☆*:・ﾟ Had bubble tea four times this week, only one of which I bought! Bless my roomie Georgina, who brings back bubble tea for me when she’s craving some after work.
☆*:・ﾟ I’m grateful for an amazing landlord who cares about his property and his tenants. We’ve barely had any apartment maintenance problems, and our landlord has always been very prompt and helpful with any questions or problems we had. This week we got a text from him about lease renewals, saying that our rent wouldn’t be raised, despite our original contracts saying otherwise.
☆*:・ﾟ Finally watched Avengers: Endgame! I don’t usually go to the cinema, so it’s always exciting when I do. I snuck in a bottle of Thai tea and a bag of teddy grahams. As for the film itself, I didn’t have as emotional a reaction as it seems that most people had, but I still enjoyed it and even had stinging eyes at two points in the film, and that’s all I’m going to say about that to avoid spoilers!
☆*:・ﾟ Jennifer visited me and Georgina from Maryland and stayed with us over the weekend. Alex visited from New Jersey and we caught up in Chinatown. I visited Louise (and her Scottish Fold Earl) before she left for summer break. Always a good time catching up with friends (:
What was a bright spot in your week?
