So it has gotten to the point where I have to moderate my news intake for my own well-being. Too much and I get totally stressed out. Just cannot do it. I guess I am a worrier by nature and it really bothers me. Plus the news cycle if pretty repetitive so they go over the same thing over and over again. Just cannot do it. I am trying to only watch one hour a day and really stick to that. It is enough really to get the sense of what is going on. I read updates fine - that does not stress me out but watching the news cycle totally stresses me out.

I found a new show on Netflix that I really like - this thing Bridgerton. It is based on the Regency romance novels by Julia Quinn - I used to read those. This show is delightful. About that marriage frenzy of the Ton in England. Just eating it up. I love the costumes, the diversity of the casting and all that. It is all fluff and I am really in the mood for this kind of escapist thing right now. I hope they do the whole family in multiple seasons - there were a lot of books so there is a lot of material for a pretty long running show. I can only hope they stick with it.

I also need to finish The Boys on Amazon - I kind of spoiled myself by looking up what happened with it online so it is not an urgent thing for me. I do that sometimes - cannot wait for the ending so I read about it online - hence spoiling myself. It is a really bad habit. I do want to watch the whole thing with this one because it is an excellent production and I love Karl Urban in it.

Today is not a Snowflake Challenge day so nothing on that today. I have not been writing. I am not stuck - I am in a good spot with the story - just have not opened it in a while. I better look up the deadline and start working towards that. Best not forget there is a deadline.

That is all - hope you are well - where you are. Stay healthy and stay safe.

That I feel compelled to watch a TV show but here I am tuning in to watch Once Upon a Time to see the very dramatic epi tonight. I really like this show. At first, I was not into this season and really preferred the first season but this one is growing on me. It has elements of the first season and is deepening the family relationships that they have. I am definitely following this one. I love the characters and how they weave the backstories into each episode. It is very good story telling.

Last night I saw Oz, the Great and Powerful and here is my comment on it from FB:

Saw Oz, Great and etc tonight. Aside from one questionable costume decision, I really enjoyed the movie and found it a gorgeous production. It was fun to play with the possibilities for the pre-Dorothy time there and fill in the blanks. One plausible Oz.

Anyways. That is all I have. Quiet weekend. Did some reading and lounged. Had some Mexican food last night. Hope you all had a really great weekend.

Cheers!
