Have any Week 1 entries caught your attention, and kept it?

How are you doing?

We went to see 28 Years Later yesterday. It was good, but I wish I had known it was the first movie in a new trilogy. It would have made the ending seem less abrupt!

There were quite a few week 1 entries that caught and held my attention. I look forward to reading more from those authors.

I’m doing well, but feeling frazzled. On Saturday I leave for vacation and I feel like everyone is asking me to do something this week and all I’m trying to do is make sure I have clean clothes and money packed for my vacation, but I can’t because I’m being pulled in every other direction.

That’s great to know about the movie. I love both of the 28 days/weeks movies and do plan on seeing it (hopefully before it’s out of theaters).

I feel your pain! We leave for vacation mid-July, but my best friend is having cancer surgery next week, so I'm probably going to visit her for a couple of days to help her.. and my sister is due with her first baby, so I'm going to need to travel to her as well. It's a little bit of "too much all at once" in my arena. My husband is a "throw things in a bag half an hour before we leave" type of packer. I am not.

Wishing you a moment of peace to pack!

[simplyn2deep]

Thank you and I hope you're able to do everything you have e to do before your vacation.

Laundering money… hmm, must be going to Vegas!

Just being silly! Where are you headed?

[simplyn2deep]

That made me laugh so hard 🤣 I didn't even think about it that way. I meant money to spend and clean clothes to pack. I did go to Vegas mid-April. Didn't go to the casino...I did that the following week when I went to Detroit.

My niece and I are going on a cruise. This will be my second one and her 3rd or 4th one.

I knew what you meant! But I have a weird sense of humor, so between editor-brain and brain-squirrrels, it made me giggle!

Hubby and I love cruises! You get to see lots of sights and take your hotel with you.

[murielle]

You have brain-squirrels! Where can I get some? 😉

I'm already thinking about my post-graduation cruise (after May 2026), which might end up being a birthday cruise with my boyfriend later in the year, as the location we want to go seems to only have cruises from September to February. I would prefer later in the year so that we can go all out and make it memorable.

I love cruises! We haven't been on a vacation in a while because life, you know?

[simplyn2deep]

We haven't been on a vacation in a while because life, you know?

Yup. I know that. May 2023 was my first proper vacation since 2007, when I went to visit my brother and his family for my birthday! I took a 3-day trip to San Diego with my sister and niece, but I ended up getting sick from the heat and couldn't properly enjoy myself.

My "vacation" was going into class to get my new Seeing Eye dog. So I won't be taking any significant time off until winter break. I have some fun small trips planned: New York to see Hadestown and a couple of days in Boston to see The Wiz and spend time with a friend.

Cruises are the best! My mom and I took a cheapy mother-daughter cruise in January and it was so relaxing. We're scheduled to do two cruises next year and I can't wait to get back onboard.

[simplyn2deep]

I'm really tempted to see if my sister in law (she's a travel agent) can set up a family cruise in the next 5 years so that my mom can join us. She's getting on in age and might not want to join us at 85/86 years old.

I hate that we didn't have the money to travel/go on vacations when I was younger. But by then, my parents were in their early 40s by the time I came around, and had done all the family traveling with my older siblings, and they wanted to focus on working, retiring, and getting me out of the house.
