Its been such a nice relaxing week , im in the stage of pregnancy where for the most part i feel great (reflux aside) . Both kids are behaving and sleeping well and the sun has shone for the first time in months.
Its really lifted my spirits , isn’t it amazing how better everything seems when you have had some sleep?
Twice this week i took long hot soaks in the tub. Tuesday night i settled in my lovely bubble bath with the latest book i was reading (The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella) , not an amazing read but it was light , fluffy and exactly the sort of book i want to read at the moment . An hour quickly passed and i started thinking about getting out even putting down the book before realizing it was the last thing i wanted to do . Spent another hour soaking while i finished the book.
Wednesday night i went for a repeat this time starting a new book(Friday Night In Beast House by Richard Laymon) For the first time in a long time i started and finished the book in one sitting and to be honest wish i had left the book unread. I was a horror fan for years and loved Laymons books and this was an example of his worst. Short, boring and just to wrong (such as the teen girl getting r*pe by the beast and loving it ) . Doubt i will ever pick up another of his books again, just not enjoyable to me any more.
Mind you the one down point this week was im now missing a tooth, this certain tooth has been bothering me for over a year now. Treatment after treatment has failed (from fillings, crowns and root treatments) and finally the dentist decided it was best just coming out – lovely. Thankfully its a back molar so not noticeable but somehow when removing the tooth my lip got cut up and boy does that hurt – the missing tooth is fine unless i get a bit of food in there .
Glad you’ve had such a relaxing week. I go through Sophie Kinsella books really quickly too. They just seem to fly for me. I liked the Undomestic Goddess, though. I’ve not heard of Richard Layman, but don’t think I’d want to read a book like that. I used to love John Saul type horror, but haven’t read anything by him in the longest time.
I’m sorry your lip has been cut, lip sores are so painful!!
Glad you were able to find time to relax!I’ve never heard of Layman… but considered me warned not to read that book, lol. I’m sorry you had to have your tooth pulled, it sucks. I’m in the process of getting partial dentures… at the ripe old age of 27, I’m really hoping my kids get their teeth from their daddy side.
Yay for relaxing baths with a book! I’m glad you got that time. See, there is some good that comes from Becca being Daddy’s Girl now. ;o) I’ve read several of Sohpie Kinsella’s books, including Undomestic Goddess, and like you said they’re light and fluffy and fun little diversions. Never heard of Layman tho, and I don’t think I’ll ever check him out after that rousing review, LOL.
My husband has horrible teeth, and is missing a few plus has a few more gold ones. Never fun to get one pulled, but at least you’re done worrying about it now!
Reading in the bathtub is the best! I love Sophie Kinsella, and I really enjoyed The Undomestic Goddess too. Just the right sort of read for making you relax and not think too hard.
