Today is Sunday time to look back in the rearview mirror and talk about my week . I am linking up to the Sunday Post hosted for years by Kimberly@caffeinatedreviewer .Â
In my private life
Happy Sunday,
This week has been super busy, again, as I am still studying the famous 540 pages for my certification and it consules all my free rime!
I have now read (and annotated) more than 300 pages but I really want to finish that first reading by the end of next weekend to have some ME time and pleasure read!
Also sorry that I don’t have time to reply to comments or comment bcak before the weekend!
On my “mom front” (see last Sunday for a recap) she is now taking the bus and thinking about the financial (read “prudent and savy”) advices that I gave her last week.
I speak nearly every day with her and it’s also stressful for me as she is feeling down.
And if that wasn’t enough, yesterday I found a dead (and decomposing with maggots and all!!!!) hedgehog under my hood!
I have no idea how he climbed in there and why he couldn’t escape but the stink in my car was unberable!
I also cried when I discovered that he was dead as I love hedgehogs!
The man who came to help me deal with the situation (assistance service) was not happy! I gagged holding the bag where we put the remains.
OK as usual I am posting some reels here.
The first is an unboxing of all the goodies I have been lucky to get from Owlcrate!
And ten books I want to read before the end.

I was lucky that I had already planned two reviews!
Thanks for reading!
PS I am sorry if I catch up only next weekend with comments and posts!!!

Oh that is so heartbreaking and traumatic, as I love hedgehogs too and that’s just a terrible discovery! Is it getting cold where you are? Here we are told to check our hoods for stray or feral cats that like to hide there for the warmth. I wonder if that what explained what the hedgehog was doing there.
It is getting cold and it’s probably the reason. I will have to check the hood more often.
Oh no, the poor hedgehog! And definitely not fun for you either. Good luck with the studying!
Thank you Lindsey!
That breaks my heart about the hedgehog – I’d have cried also. Good for your mom at taking the bus and listening to financial advice, Sophie!
It was heartbreaking Teri!
Poor hedgehog:( (and poor you having to deal with it)
And poor mom, hopefully she will adjust to her changed circumstances soon.
Hope things are better this week!
Oh my gosh, I can’t get over the dead hedgehog!! I’m so sorry you had to go through that. I love hedgehogs too, I would have cried. Good luck reading and studying!
Thank you Tammy!
I hope you get to read some books for fun soon!!
Thank god there are audiobooks Samantha!
I get it! I’m so behind with commenting on other blogs too! I try to always make sure I have a little time on Sundays to at least do Sunday posts, but that doesn’t always work out either. I am so glad we’re getting close to my mom getting to move, because there will be less “getting ready to move” stuff to take up my time. I hope you have a good week!

Hopefully this week goes more smoothly and you get a break.

i hit a squirral the other day and it ruined my entire day!
Good Job with the studying, I hope you can find time to read for yourself!
Have a great week, Sophia! Happy Reading!
I am pretty sure I would cry too if I found that hedgehog (I may have even vomited). That has to be unsettling. You are doing great with your studying! Hang in there. The end is near.
