I plan to take it easy this weekend. I have been experiencing sciatica pain and it has put a cramp in my style. I have a follow up doctor's appt. on Monday. Medication only helped a little. I think they will send me for an MRI. I just want to find out what is causing it so I can get a treatment plan to feel better.

I love a bowl of soup in the winter. If it is Tomato soup, it should be accompanied by a grill cheese sandwich.

Reading for #BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub

Loved this slow burn hockey romance. Nothing like a tortured hero. The plot really worked for me and I loved both of the main characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series. 4 ⭐

1. Two Cup Friday!
2. Homemade banana bread
3. Puppy Breath
4. Bella snuggles
5. Lunch out with friends

Play? @bthegood @bethM @read4life @Kadagul

This one is a low pick for me. I liked the characters put the plot was just so off the rails I couldn't get totally invested in the story. I've said this numerous times, I prefer characters and plots are at least plausible, if not, then the writing must be of such quality as to make up for the short comings. 3ish Stars
I doubt I will read the other books in the series. #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #REad2025 @DieAReader #LitsyLoveReads
