Happy Tuesday! I am happy that this will be a short week – I am off on Friday! So far things are going well with my students. I have been playing music by Selena in the morning and they all seem to enjoy it. However, I know one day they will probably tell me to play something different.
As you know I enjoy running in the morning. I listen to music or just get lost in my own thoughts. This time alone prepares me for the day.
Besides running I enjoy watching TV and reading. Lately I’ve been watching too much TV and am ready to give that a break. I became hooked on Chicago Med and finally am caught up thanks to Netflix, Peacock, and Hulu. I also enjoy watching Chicago PD and Law and Order: Organized Crime. I am not so crazy anymore about Greys Anatomy and am wondering when the show will end. Most of the characters are annoying but I feel like I need to watch it till the end. Anyone else is a fan?
Let’s talk about reading. I love to read. Now that I am caught up on my shows I will spend more time reading. Thanks to Wendy’s reviews I have a long list of books to read. I am actually excited about it! I started my list from a review she did in August. Yes, I have a long way to go. Even though I plan to teach during the Summer, I will have plenty of time to read a few books.
Right now I am reading this book. Anyone else has read it?
Topic for next week – Tips or benefits of running a marathon for charity? Feel free to write about this or any running related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!

Reading and watching TV are things I enjoy too,
I have just discovered the Japanese series “Old Enough” on Netflix. It is the most heart-warming and sweet show I’ve seen in a long time.
It’s about toddlers going on errands on their own for the first time. Most are younger than 5 years old. The episodes are only 10 minutes long, so it not such a huge waste of time either.
·
I have heard of that show and am curious about it. Will have to add it to my Netflix list!
·
Due to my self massage activities, I’ve been listening to more music lately! I actually plan to blog about that lately.
You are lucky to have control of the artists. 🙂
I’m usually reading something related to Yoga, and then a fiction book before I go to bed. It seems easier as it gets warmer to take a reading break outside!
·
I am looking forward to the nice weather so I can also sit on the balcony to read my book with a glass of wine too.
·
We had a relatively nice week this week (except for the coming weekend). Looks like it will warm up again not too long after that. Getting to be outside more feels great!
·
Reading is my favorite non running activity.
I do minimally watch tv. Still hooked on this is us, the good doctor and greys anatomy.
I used to quilt and sometimes I knit.
·
I never got into This is Us though many people said it is a good show. Nope, no more new shows for me.
·
I haven’t read that book, but reading is probably my biggest non-running hobby. i also get almost all my book ideas from blogs (Wendy is an excellent source!). When i watch TV it’s usually the Food Network or home improvement shows. I haven’t gotten into a series in a long time. It’s definitely hard to watch a lot of TV AND read- there are only so many hours in a day.
·
There was a time when I was hooked on home improvement shows. I found it fascinating how work it required to fix up a home. Yes on your last point. I can do one or the other.
·
I like reading but I need absolute silence to fully immerse myself in a book and it’s hard to do that sometimes at home. I am a HUGE Law and Order SVU fan and we made the hop over to Organized Crime because of Stabler! I love that you play music for your students. Selena is a legend!
·
I like Stabler too but without the beard. There is just something about it that I do not like. It was so sad about his wife.
·
You probably know I’m an art geek, so I LOVE all things artsy (color, painting, drawing, decorating, knitting, fashion, etc.). I don’t watch much TV, in general, but I love NCAA football and basketball, so I’m almost at a loss on what to “watch” right now with the BB tournament all done. Netflix keeps me entertained, at times, but only late at night before bed.
·
There are so many shows on Netflix. Too many I’d say. There are not enough hours in the day for it. 🙂
·
I understand what you mean about TV. Over the past few years I find myself watching less and less TV, although I do like to watch movies and documentaries on Netflix.
·
My coworker told me about Abbott Elementary. I said no more TV! 🙂
