Happy Weekend and end of May, friends! We made it through the holiday week and on to what will hopefully be a relaxing weekend. Sometimes disrupting the status quo makes these holiday weeks a little wonky. This time (at least for me), it was all smooth sailing and the week flew right on by. I'm excited that we're also now on the brink of summer, however you would never guess with this crazy Tennessee weather. It's definitely giving April showers, lol. Rain, rain, and more raiiinnnn. One positive is that we've had cooler temps which I love. My only real issue with summer is she's just too d*mn hot and sticky. Having this easy, breezy weather all-year-round would be a dream.
In other unrelated news, it's been a hot minute since I've updated you on what I've been reading/watching. I resumed my Harry Potter re-read/re-watch marathon I started around this time last year. I've been re-reading every book and then watching the movie pair right after. I've had an absolute blast! I couldn't tell you how many times I've reread or watched the books/movies, however I've never done it like this before. I've also been taking my time with it and just enjoying everything as I go. I took a little break during the holiday but finally jumped back in and finished Order of the Phoenix last month. Now I'm just a few chapters away from finishing Half-Blood Prince. I'm hoping to knock the rest of it out tonight so I can watch the movie this weekend.
I'm also now at a point where the end doom is setting in. I keep inching closer and closer to finishing the series which has always been bittersweet. It has to have something to do with growing up with the story as it was still coming out. It was and is such a special moment in time for me that despite knowing how it all wraps up, I always feel just a tinge of loss. I also think some of that has to do with the darker elements and loss of the last few books, too.
Alongside of my Harry Potter journey, I've also been reading What Every Body Is Saying by Joe Navarro. This book is about body language and non-verbal communication. I've always found this topic to be super interesting and so far, I'm really enjoying the book. Joe Navarro is an ex-FBI agent who specialized in reading people during interviews/interrogations. It's very cool to learn about how we all have pretty universal, primal body language habits as well as individualist cues.
I also have Memorial Day week to blame for disrupting my fitness plan, haha. I've had one too many key lime bars this week so here's to a few last hurrahs over the weekend and then it's back to business on Monday!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!! -xx
