Mar. 22nd, 2021 09:44 amAnd I am not working today. Love it. Taking today and Tuesday off from work. We were encouraged to take some time off this week for Spring Break. So I did. I just feel like I could relax some. So I am doing that.
I have blood tests today for my annual physical - my usual blood panel. Going to do that. I have to fast this morning and I am drinking black coffee. Not really enjoying that. I am a full on creamer and sugar person for my coffee so not enjoying it but I can do it. Getting it done. I could not get an early morning appointment so that was kind of a bummer. I go in at 10:45am. That is pretty late. I will just have to deal. Ugh.
I just finished the book The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio. It was a really interesting look at the lives and situations of the undocumented people in the United States. I had never read anything about this before so I learned a lot. She is also a really good writer so it was a pleasure to read. Very good book. Life is pretty harsh for the undocumented here and that is really clear from the book. I highly recommend this book.
I am moving on to read Nomadland by Jessica Bruder. It is the book that the movie was based on. I want to see the movie but I am intrigued by this book too. So far it is really excellent and I am sure I am going to enjoy it.
Here is a summary of the book -
Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century is a 2017 non-fiction book by American journalist Jessica Bruder about the phenomenon of older Americans who, following the Great Recession, adopted transient lifestyles travelling around the United States in search of seasonal work.
There are two films about the book - one is called Camperforce - a documentary and the other is the film - Nomadland. Interesting.
Anyhoo. That is what I am reading and thinking about.
Oh and I signed up for Disney Plus this week so I could watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier. I watched the first episode of that and I watched all of Wandavision. Loving those. And now I have access to all the Marvel films! Score!
That's all I have for now. I am sure I will post more later.
