Weekend Planning

January 23, 2015 by Claire (The Captive Reader)

A Street at Night in Wet Weather by Edward Steel Harper II

And so, gasping with relief, we come to the weekend. After a whirlwind week at work, I am delighted with the weather forecast which promises rain, rain, and a little more rain to top it all off. I want to curl up with a stack of books somewhere and, counter to the social activities of the past few weekends, ignore all other humans. At least for Saturday. I might miss them by Sunday, but Saturday as a hermit sounds rather nice. Especially since I saw that my inter-library hold on a D.E. Stevenson book I haven’t read has just come in. This is clearly a sign that the universe supports my weekend plans.

Enjoy! We’re finally getting some sun, and a little warmer weather – and I just want to stay inside and read.

Our 8 to 10 inches of Saturday snow seems to be turning into 4 inches of Saturday slush but once I contemplate being a hermit I would find it just so wrong to change those plans, so I’ll be joining you…

Yes! Ditto! There will be snow and rain here on Saturday, so I stocked up on food and water, and am going to curl up with Sarah Waters” The Paying Guest. I just started it and can’t put it down. I will be a hermit, hopefully, for the day and maybe part of Sunday.
The only requirements on being a hermit is having enough food and beverages and good (!) books.

I hope you got to have your hermity Saturday at least! We had glorious heavenly sunshine this weekend, after weeks and weeks of rain, so I spent at least five hours of this weekend lying out in the sun like a lizard, and reading books. It was great. A few more days of that and I would achieve perfect happiness — but alas, I have to go back to work now.

It didn’t end up being nearly as rainy as they said it would! I find that today I’m kind of jealous of the East Coast’s impending snowpocalypse! I wouldn’t mind staying home and reading all the books today!
