here comes the weekend: coffee and reading plans

I recently purchased The Love Letters of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West and I am reading them alongside Nabakov's Letter's to Vera. I am LOVING this actually.




I'm feeling a lot behind on everything  in my life, but this is a good weekend to get caught up honestly. I am going to make sure that I get in bed at a decent time, and make some plans for my reading and re-reading.

I've decided that The Brothers Karamazov is my "ending of summer re-read". I have only read 2 tiny chapters, and I am already so glad that I chose it. Picking up Dostoevsky right after Tolstoy is pure psychological therapy- especially if one journals alongside their reading. I could use some existential exploration and I will find it by reading these two titans.

I have been favoring instant coffee lately. (a tad embarrassing is it not?). I think it's more a reflection of how exhausted I am in the morning, but I still miss my morning coffee-making rituals. I'll be happy when they return. Also, learning that Nestle bought this company means I won't be buying this coffee again so I'll sip slowly until it's all gone.




Yesterday I combined walking on the treadmill with reading a physical book. That was as difficult as walking a tightrope until I got the hang of it. Yikes..., but the things we do to get to the end of a chapter. After successfully walking and not falling, I kept reading that way for an hour. I now have a new hobby. 

So, that is what this weekend entails. Tidying up. Getting my life fully back on track after travel and med appts, working out, and reading.

Wishing you well as your weekend begins. Happy reading. ☕️
