I love this Top Ten Tuesday's topic! It's a perfect way to kind of catch up on what's going on with my not-so exciting life. ^_^
My new-ish full time job -- So back in February this year, I took a promotion at work. With great opportunity comes great responsibilities (or something like that! lol!). I swear the learning curve the first few months was using all my brain power that I come home exhausted and I was asleep in bed by 9pm. I didn't recognize myself anymore. But with that change of pace and schedule, it came with me not being able to devote time to reading more. I tried with audiobooks but I end up falling asleep. It's getting better this time, I've been back to reading and listening. I've also sort-of readjusted with my new job.
My small business -- I work with indie authors and with the full time job, plus my side hustle, I'm listening to audio while I'm doing graphics. Sometimes I have to press pause because I need to concentrate on the teaser lines.
Sleeping -- I used to stay up late reading. I hardly do that anymore. Maybe when I'm working from home again, I could carve an hour to read before bed time.
Spending time with my friends -- I've been spending some quality time with my friends, whether we meet up for lunch, or dinner or random ice cream meet ups.
Building more bookshelves -- So, the more books I acquire, the more shelving space I need. I bought more shelves and I've been putting off building them. I've finished one, one more to go. Hopefully, it's enough.
Laundry -- Another chore I've been putting off. So here I am always trying to catch up.
Planning book con trips -- I'm going out of country for two of the book cons this year, RARE London and shiMMer. The anxiety of planning this trip was ugh. I kept a look out for better airfare rates, the more I waited, the higher they kept going. Not to mention the hotels, and figuring out how to commute around and out of London.
Doctor Visits -- With me trying to be healthy, I find myself seeing a doctor to make sure I'm not falling apart, more than usual. :-p
Social Media -- Between everything, I also try to be more active on social media. There's bookstagram, there's TikTok and there's Facebook.
Farmville -- I love this game! LOL. I feel like I'm the only one who's plays this game. But I enjoy it. ;-)
As much as we want to spend most of our waking moments going through our TBR list, life happens and we gotta do what we gotta do. That's okay too. :-)
