Hey there,
How is everyone?
I should be doing a What’s Up Wednesday post today but I’m lazy and I don’t feel like doing it. It’s a very calm day, I feel well, just a bit tired. I’m spending time with my sister and Rosa. Even if I didn’t want to spend time with Rosa, I would be forced to, as she makes sure she follows me around all day, every day.
I have a TON of laundry to fold and a ton of laundry to do. I’m taking care of the latter, having a load drying and another one in the washer. I’m super lazy recently haha, what can I do? I still have a small to-do list for today:
- Call back to know about interview results. It’s been a week.
- Answer emails.
- I was approved for one of those online projects as a freelance writer and I need to get the details straight and start working on the project. The other is almost settled as well, which is great.
- I need to answer comments, I have so, so many.
- I also need to read blogs, I’ve been lacking in that department.
- I need to unload the dishwasher and then load it again.
- I need to cook dinner.
- I need to go and buy some medicine I finished yesterday.
- I have to water the garden and take care of the plants.
- I need to drink enough water and keep up with the healthy snacks.
- I will listen to my relaxing music before bed, as I’ve done every day.
- I want to read a few chapters of the two books I’m going through.
- I’ll watch the last episode of The Handmaids Tale, and I’ll miss it. Have you watched it/read it?
I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow for my back. I’ve had back problems since I was a child, so I need to pay them some attention.
I’ll now show you an updated list of the movies I was supposed to watch this month:
Day 1: The Godfather

The Handmaids Tale
I’m starting Upstairs, Downstairs today. Do you have any TV series suggestions? I’m especially fond of period dramas. That’s my thing as you can probably tell.
I also want to share the albums I’ve been listening to on Spotify, to relax before bed:
I go to “moods” and choose “sleep”.
Then, my favorite albums are:
- Peaceful Piano
- Jazz for Sleeping
- Peaceful Guitar
- Night Rain
- Sleep Tight
- There are several just called “sleep” which are very good as well.
These help me with anxiety and to unwind and feel sleepy. It has become a nightly ritual I look forward to, just being in the dark, earplugs, soft music and relaxation. I highly recommend it.
I’m off now. Which movie, from the list, do you think I should watch tonight?

I have a TV suggestion. It’s called Recovery Road! TV series about a teen alcoholic. It’s so real I loved it.

Some pretty good to-dos on your list! I quite enjoyed Lion, but I’ve not seen any of The Handmaids Tale, will have to add that to my list. Inception was good, though admittedly I’ve never actually seen Les Miserables. Keep us posted with how you get on, and fingers crossed you get whichever answer you truly want from the interview.

The Truman Show is one of my favorite movies! Jim Carey is phenomenal (:

I don’t like him. I don’t know why but it was never an actor I was interested in. Maybe because his comedy is too out there and eccentric

‘Before Sunrise’ from your list is a beautiful one. And since you asked these are some of my favourites, The Borgias (2011), The Vikings, Mr. Selfridges, The Durrells (this is an absolute hoot)… and a mini-series, Close to the Enemy.

We once started watching Before Sunrise and Rui was done after like 5 minutes because it was too slow. Men. Great, I’ve got quite a list to check now. Thanks, love.

It is slow. Has a dreamy-like quality to it. You might have to tie him to the couch or watch it on your own.
