Life:
I’m a little late with this week’s Sunday Post, but I
thought better late than never. This week was crazy and I’m totally exhausted. I’ve
been working Tuesday till Sunday and I haven’t had a lot of free moments. And honestly
I’ve been running on coffee for a while now. I can’t wait for next Monday (the
21st) when I finally have a free day.

On Monday I had my only free day and I spend it reading,
and relaxing. In the evening my fiancé and I went to a concert of The Lumineers
in Amsterdam. We’ve been to there previous concert here in the Netherlands and
we loved it. And this one was even better if you ask me. They are so good
live!!

Of course I followed the US elections this Tuesday.. Well.. I was shocked to be honest. I hope Trump will prove to be a better president than I think he will be.
Friday evening we decided to go out for dinner. We didn’t
have a lot of ‘us’ time in the previous two weeks and we really needed a nice
dinner. We went to this beautiful and luxurious restaurant. We totally felt out
of place but it was great! We laughed,
we talked.. the food was amazing. We really had a great time.

Yesterday we had a huge exercise in the Major Incident
Hospital I also work at. Once a year we have this exercise to make sure we’re
as prepared as we can be if a major incident actually happens, and this year
was the biggest one yet. It was really thrilling, fun and also very exhausting.
We did really good and I’m so honored to be a part of the team. At night my mom
and her boyfriend came over and prepared this tasty meal for us. It was a
perfect ending to a perfect day.

And today I have to work the evening shift. But first I’m
catching up on my blog! 😀

Books & Blogging:
Because I was really busy this week, I didn’t have a lot
of reading time. I’m participating the #HoHoHoRAT Read-A-Thon and I did manage
to listen to one Christmas themed audiobook, and read almost one Christmas
themed book. So I’m pretty excited about that. Since the Read-A-Thon isn’t over
yet.. I think I can manage to finish the book. I hoped for more, but seeing
what kind of week I had I think I did pretty good.

I also shared a new Discussion Post. I really enjoyed writing that one. I hope you can stop by and tell me your thoughts!
Since I have to work in a view hours I probably can’t
visit you all today, but I promise I catch up during the week. 😉

I hope you managed to catch up with the HoHoHo Read-A-Thon! 😉
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you, Maureen. I sure hope that Trump turns out to do remarkable things for all of us here in the states. I will never understand those who want him to fail. I want better for my grandchildren than to see him not do well, I really do.
I'll keep my fingers crossed! 😉
Have a great week and happy reading!
Whew sounds like a busy week indeed, I hope you have some free time to relax soon. It's nice you still had some fun moment this week to relax like the concert and the dinner. I stopped by your discussion post earlier today and enjoyed reading it. Have a great week!
Thanks Lola. Life is crazy busy at the moment. Things like a concert and a nice dinner definitely makes me able to keep going.
Have a great week 😉
It's always good to have something to look forward to and it's hard to beat a FREE day. Happy reading.

Free days are the best. I'm counting down the days at the moment!
Happy Reading! 😉
Hope you have a great week (and get some downtime). It's been a crazy week here in the US- I think your thought on that sums up how we feel too lol. And glad your exercise went well. I'll go check out your discussion post- I always enjoy those! 🙂
Thanks Greg. I hope thinks are getting a little better in the US since it's been a week since the elections.. We keep seeing demonstrations on television here.
Have a great week 😉
I love The Lumineers and I really love live gigs. You can't beat them for energy and feel good vibes. Well done on successful exercise in work, it's good to know hospitals do this and are well prepared for major incidents. I hope it happens here too.
The Lumineers are so good. I just love them.
Thanks.. It was exhausting but very good and fun.
Happy Reading!
