1) Has anyone watched Me Before You? I have the dvd from the library and I am looking forward to it but I KNOW it will be sad (having read the book), and I'm wondering if I should make my husband sit through it with me or watch it alone tonight. The book made me sob, for what it's worth.
2) We have been battling the stomach flu that ends in a massive congested cold in our house, but I'm HOPING we are all starting to get our health back this weekend. The last two nights I've resorted to the cold sock treatment - don't knock it til you try it! It sounds super weird but for some reason it really works. I love finding natural remedies.
3) My reading is totally scattered all over the place right now I have 3 books on the go, two of which are for Erin's challenge, but I'm antsy even to get into something else. I'm not sure if being tired is just not allowing me to turn to books the way I normally would, or if I just need to read something more enticing, but I'm hoping to resolve it this weekend and finish up Valley of the Moon. Reading shouldn't be stressful and I was feeling pressured to finish some great library books before they are due on Monday and then I realized - so what if I have to return them unread? No big deal. They will always be there another time.
4) I like to save links on Facebook, Feedly, and in my e-mail drafts. I will sometimes use Pinterest or Pocket for these, but any blog post or article I see shared ends up in an infinite abyss that I can never find again. Any tips for keeping all of these in one place? I'm thinking of labeling my e-mail drafts better. I like saving these things in my gmail because I find them so easy to search for again. Thoughts?
Anyway, I found a few fun articles that I enjoyed 4 years ago in an old e-mail drafts folder.
5) I can't wait to spend the weekend reading, colouring, and doing crafts with my two favourite little buddies:
Happy Friday!!!
i also read that if you apply vicks vaporub on your feet, put socks over them and go to sleep, it will alleviate the coughing/congestion in your chest/nose. something about your feet having connections to your organs (ancient chinese thing, i think).
ReplyDeleteI reread Me Before You right before seeing the movie and cried more my second time reading it. Then I bawled like a baby during the movie haha. Apparently knowing what is going to happen made it even more sad for me. Plus the casting and acting was just spot on. I hope you enjoy the movie!! I think they did an awesome job for an adaptation.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only person that has endless links in emails drafts-- I also can never manage to find them and wonder why I'm not better about just keeping them in the same place or more organized. I've heard of people having good luck with Evernote for managing links and info over different devices? I haven't seen Me Before You yet because I'm so afraid to be THAT sad, so I'll be interested to hear what you think once you watch it! My husband and I are both battling our second cold (this month), so I'm intrigued by the cold sock treatment, though it makes me cold just thinking about it because my feet are always freezing!
ReplyDeletei don't know if you've watched it yet, but i didn't cry watching me before you. i did watch it on my own though, and it was the day we had an accident, so i don't know if i was kind of out of it haha. normally i am a cry baby, so i don't know haha.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I loved the 45 quotes from literature link.
ReplyDeleteI hope your family is over being sick and feeling better now!
We do an eco-vick's kind of rub thing on our feet and then put socks on. I also put it on our chests, neck, back, etc. hahha But I think you can make your own... we use Honest because we do the bundles already. That always helps me. Also, I have been MARRIED to my humidifier. It's keeping me from feeling crappy this winter! XO - Alexandra
