365 Days of Gratitude Day #6

January 7th, 2016 at 09:50 am

This entry will be short & sweet Smile

The thing that made me smile on day 6 of 365 is the new Kinsey Millhone book by Sue Grafton (X) that I got today, using the gift card given to me by my mother for my birthday.

I have already read four chapters, and am happy to see that she is still her normal, witty self. I can see a busy few days ahead of me! This book has me absorbed already.

Today was my first day of work for 2016. The first half of the day was really hard - I was so foggy in the morning. By the afternoon (and my second coffee) I was pretty much working as normal. Have a really busy couple of months ahead of me, so pretty much hit the ground running.

We do have a couple of phone bills that need to be paid, and I will transfer $200 over for our living expenses (will be a quiet weekend). Not too many financial things need to be done at the moment though.

I am tired though, so will probably try to get an early night. Talk to you guys in the next day or so!

Ah! I read "X" a few months ago. I'm eagerly awaiting the "Y" book, and already mourning the end of the series!

CB I had such fun for a couple of years reading A-P! Then it got to the point where I was waiting for each letter to come out. I will miss Kinsey too!

FrugalTexan you'll have to have a read and see what you think
