It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (October 30): 10/30/17
We spent much but not all of this weekend moving boxes out of the apartment. More and more we're able to living in our new home without wondering where ____________ is. The entirety of our kitchen is finally moved, though not unpacked. Now there are just a few odds and ends — mostly linens and toys to bring over.
Besides moving, we also got our annual flu shots. It was the last Saturday shot day and thankfully one that fit into everyone's schedule. We had to skip earlier ones because of Girl Scouts and Cross Country.
We also had our first barbecue in two years. Back in 2015 our condo complex changed insurance and the rules changed too. We were no longer allowed to barbecue on our balconies. Our house now has a specially built area and we can barbecue safely.

Enjoy all those great looking books. Comment #2: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 17:21:00 Pussreboots The barbecue was a treat and probably the only one we'll have in a while. We're expecting some well needed rain. Comment #3: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 06:54:54 Glad you got to enjoy the fun of barbecuing again! Enjoy all your books this week. Comment #4: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 17:23:00 Pussreboots It was nice to finally be able to barbecue again. It's nice to have a little more control over our space. Comment #5: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 10:58:50 Kathy Martin Ahh! Babymouse! But where is all the pink? Glad to hear that you are getting all of your things moved. Moving is such a chore. Come see my week here. Happy reading! Comment #6: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 17:24:00 Pussreboots This particular Babymouse is a hybrid graphic novel — meaning it's mostly text with a few comic book interludes. There's no pink and even more shocking, Babymouse has matured some. It's actually a very good book. Comment #7: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 11:26:30 How great that you got to barbecue...I hate rules that preclude fun things! Enjoy your new books...and settling in. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES Comment #8: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 17:27:00 Pussreboots It was fun. Thanks for stopping by. Comment #9: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 13:23:26 Yay for grilling out! Hope the move is going smoothly. Comment #10: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 18:32:00 Pussreboots The move is going smoothly. We should be completely out this coming weekend. Comment #11: Monday, October 30, 2017 at 21:59:28 Congrats on your new home! I BBQ'd about two weeks ago, and I think that will be the last time because it's getting cooler outside. Fall is here! I have Dorothy Must Die, but I haven't read it yet, I picked it up last summer. Happy Halloween and happy reading!!! Comment #12: Sunday, November 05, 2017 at 21:58:00 Pussreboots It was probably our only BBQ for a while too as we're now heading into the rainy season. I finally finished Dorothy Must Die and now I'm working on a post about all the different Ozian dystopias. Comment #13: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 08:48:36 Hooray for being almost done with the move. Though being able to barbecue again is also very nice. We are done BBQing until we get a warm snap/less snow, which likely won't happen until April or May, but we had lots over the summer. Comment #14: Sunday, November 05, 2017 at 22:02:00 Pussreboots We're expecting rain this week so it will probably be a while before we barbecue again. Comment #15: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 14:41:26 That's so nice! I love how ur post is just so varied! Comment #16: Sunday, November 05, 2017 at 22:06:00 Pussreboots Thanks. Comment #17: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 21:04:54 Sounds like you are doing well with your move. Have a great week! Comment #18: Sunday, November 05, 2017 at 22:07:00 Pussreboots We're done except for a little more vacuuming and turning in the keys!
