[2018] 234/365: Audiobooks on Speed

If you know me you know I love to listen to books when I am busy, i.e. driving and working.

I’ve always used Overdrive, borrowing books from the library, but they started moving towards Libby.

I just discovered that you can speed up the reading up to 2x faster than normal! I’m good at the 1.75x speed.

I downloaded Lauren Graham’s book this morning. Her book is over four and a half hour and I was able to finish it before then! I loved her book and was sad when I realized it was over.

Now I’m closer to my Goodreads goal for the year on finishing twelve books by the end of the year. Finishing Lauren’s book in record time brought me up to seven books so far! And I’m already a third of the way finished on the next book.

I am that excited to have found this feature that I had to write about it. I’m sure Overdrive had it too but I never had the chance to play with it to find out.

Courthouse Views

After work I went over to Sissy and BIL’s house since I had court late from my accident a month ago. Sissy picked up Kim Son on the way home from work. I shared the wings with BIL said had a little of my lo mien. I’m excited to bring that to work for lunch.

[2018] 233/365: Courthouse View

We watched a couple of episode of The Office and then talked about houses before Sissy dropped me off at the courthouse. Things are fast pace there and I was in and out in less than thirty minutes. Sissy came to pick me back up and we are headed back to her place.

Shower, FaceTime with Scruffy and the pups, and relax before bed. Night, everyone!

Psoriasis

Rocky is missing my parents and Rizzo. He slept like a baby on my bed next to me all night.

I made some delicious soup for lunch and I’m excited to have more tomorrow! I’m getting better at soup life.

[2018] 232/365: Psoriasis

For the longest time I’m told I have eczema but today my new doctor proclaimed I have psoriasis. Shots were put in and plans for my skin condition were discussed. Hopefully everything will be better.

June was nice enough to make me pan fried dumplings and cauliflower for dinner while we enjoyed a TVB show.

Coco

The day started out with an Asian buffet. We finished eating pretty quickly since there only so much we could eat. I was sad the crawfish was much more horrible than ever but overall everything was good.

[2018] 231/365: Coco the Movie

Scruffy and I finally watched Coco. I’ve heard so many great things about it but never had the chance to sit down to watch it but I’m glad we did. It reminds me a lot a out my Grandma’s beliefs and we are Asian!

Scruffy ordered his usual Chimichanga from Los Cucos and I decided to try their Caldo de Res. I’ve been in a soup mood that I even meal prepped soup!

Their soup isn’t as clean and clear as what I’m used to having with Caldo de Res but it was still delicious. I couldn’t even finish half of what they gave me!

Scruffy has long gone home with Luna and Rizzo. Tomorrow’s a new day of work and I cannot wait to see them all again in a few days.

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

Square Root Poke with Scruffy as our first meal of the day. We shared a large and had two small bowls of miso to go with it. This is a very filling and somewhat healthy choice. I really want to try their alternative carb choices. One day! Maybe when we are both starving enough to order our own.

We walked around Target, Office Max, and Home Goods before heading home. Scruffy played video games while I napped and I even watched To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. I’ve read the book so I was excited to see it on screen.

[2018] 230/365: Korean BBQ Goodness

Since the parents are away, Scruffy, June and I went and feasted. We bought meat and veggies for our own Korean BBQ and it was delicious. Without my parents there we already bought less and still couldn’t finish.
