Happy Friday, book friends! Today marks one full week of being a stay-at-home dog mom and writer. It’s been an interesting week, with plenty of puppy cuddles and reading time, but also small steps towards building up my freelance writing business. Azula seems to be adjusting to having me home every day, though she does sometimes give me a weird look when I emerge from the home office midday.
Because my writing isn’t squeezed in before work anymore, I’m back in the regular habit of reading a nonfiction book in the morning while I have my coffee. Currently, I’m working on Initiated: Memoir of a Witch. It’s a very strange book so far, but I’m curious to see where it goes.
In addition to working on my writing, I’ve also been making slow progress towards packing up the house. Today, I’ll be tackling my bins in the basement, which will probably be another round of donating a bunch of things to Goodwill.
In all, it’s been a strange and exciting week as I settle into new routines. There’s been a good bit of snow, though not much of it has stuck around for long. Azula has gotten to play in it a bit, and we’ve had some quite snowy walks, which is always a nice reminder of how having a dog changes your life.
This weekend we’ve got a few plans, but I’m hoping I’ll also be able to finish True Biz and round out the month with eight books read!
How was your week?
Your Book Friend 
What a huge change in your life, no wonder Azula is confused. Moving and packing is always so difficult when you have to decide what makes the cut. Good luck with that. That book sounds interesting. I am assuming the author is Wiken, but I could be wrong. Have a wonderful weekend, AmandaKay.
Thank you, Carla! I am not sure which tradition the author follows yet, but definitely some form of paganism. Hope you have a great weekend as well!
Aww puppy cuddles are the best!
The pup is getting spoiled. Good luck with the writing and packing. It’s awesome you were able to read that many books with so much going on
She truly is! My husband works from home so she’s getting attention from both of us lol.
Good luck with your writing! I’m so happy that you’re getting to work on your goals. My week was kind of blah, but it’s getting better.
Thank you! Sorry you’ve had a blah week and hope it continues to get better!
What a big life change for you all! It sounds like you are adjusting well and I’m sure Azula loves having you home!
Best of luck with your new venture! I wish we were getting some snow down here in the south. My dog loves the snow, but we don’t see it very often.
I hope you continue to enjoy your new life. Azula must be happy to have you around all day.
