Non-Bookish News:
I had my final follow up with the ENT surgeon on Monday. I didn’t expect any improvement because it doesn’t FEEL like I could hear any better. However, I was delighted to be wrong! Previously, portions of my hearing had become so poor, I was a candidate for a BAHA (implant hearing aid). I am no longer a candidate!! My hearing within certain ranges had improved to a level that normal hearing aids can support. YAY!
Sadly I have to work all weekend. I had to administer the ACT on Saturday and we have Open House on Sunday. That means I will work for 12 straight days. Ugh. Y’all, people crack on teachers getting all the summer off but this is why! We work insane hours during the school year. In a couple weeks I will have conferences after a full school day! I promise I will be around to visit everyone’s Sunday Post. It just might take a tad longer.
So, whats new with you this week? Did you read any of the same books I did? Did you find any great book deals I need to grab ASAP? Let me know in the comments!
Thrilled to learn the operation has had a good outcome for you.
Wishing you a great reading week, and some time to rest in among all that busy.
So happy that your visit with the ENT went better than expected, great news! I feel you about how much teachers work – I get so tired of hearing about all the the time off, because not only do we only get paid for the days we work, we work so much beyond those days without pay. I hope this weekend goes well for you and you get SOME rest before having to get back to work tomorrow. Have a great week!
Yay very happy your ENT appointment went so well! that is awesome!
Have a great week, Samantha, happy Reading!
Congrats on the good news about your hearing!!
I’m so happy your ENT appointment went better than expected. I hope you take a few deep breaths as this week with Halloween is likley to be a bit crazy too, hopefully also some fun. Hang in there and happy reading!

I’m delighted that your hearing has improved so markedly! What great news. And yes… I know what you mean about teachers always being told about alllll those ‘holidays’. I, for one, used to spend at least a week of the summer in the classroom either taking down/clearing out last year’s work and then putting up new displays and generally getting ready for the coming term. Overall, I spent half my holidays lesson planning/marking/preparing class displays and putting them on the walls… I hope you get a chance to decompress in the coming week! Take care.
Congrats on your hearing- that’s awesome! And yeah I don’t begrudge teachers at all- they work their butt off during the school year! At least the ones I’ve come in contact with- when we have conferences or whatever almost without fail they’re so involved and professional. Anyway hope you get some relaxing time soon. 12 days straight sounds exhausting.
Have a good week!
I knew a few different versions of Lamb of God, but that takes the cake. Ha! *cheering* So happy to hear your visit with the ENT brought good news. That’s wonderful! You do open house on the weekend? That’s punishing. Do you at least have All Saint’s Day off? I hope so, you deserve a little break.
That’s great news on your hearing. Try to get some rest. I feel for you and all teachers that have to work crazy hours, but glad to have such dedicated educators. Have a great week and happy reading!
Congratulations on the good news with your hearing! Finally!
I want to download a copy of Moonlighter. 🙂

Happy Reading!

Here’s my Weekly Wrap Up
I’m glad to hear your ENT appointment went well!
I definitely don’t criticise the time teachers get off. I don’t know how you do the jobs you do and stay sane!
Good luck with the 12 day stretch! I hope you manage to find some time for yourself amongst it all.
I’m so happy that your hearing level improved Sam!
Thank You!!
