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 .
In my private life
Happy Sunday!
Life at work has become busier , thank god but not too busy yet!
My “big” news this week is that yesterday, I reunited with most of my fellow mates at university after 30 years!!!
I had no idea if I would recognize everyone -I didn’t -nor if I’d recall all their names -I didn’t either.
But that was expected as you are not tight with all the people from your promotion! The ones I as close to I did recognize.
Some have grey hair or no hair anymore, others lost their glasses or got glasses and some have put on a lot of weight. And let’s not talk about previously long hair cut short…
What everyone told me is that I had not changed at all and it was so unbelievable.
I guess that even a few more wrinkles don’t make for that much of a change.
Some of us chose to go on a hike before meeting to eat.
The hike went unexpectedly as our guide lost her way and took us on a path so steep going down that we had to garb a cord like a lifeline! It looked like rapelling!
One of us fell on her head and had a gash on her brow bleeding profusely. And a few minutes later, she fainted!
I was that close to calling for an ambulance when she regained consciousness and explained that she often suffered from low blood pressure and that she needed salt.
That’s when one of my classmates, always the jokester, told her that he had no salt but that he had sweated a lot! Maybe she should lick him?? LOL
All that was said in jest and she soon felt way better and we ended the hike with no more incident and very happy to reach the end.
I had -we ALL had- an amazing time at that reunion. It was fun and as one said, we hadn’t seen each other for thirty years but talked like we parted ways yesterday. No barriers, no shame, no blanks, nothing.
Extraordinary!
As usual, I am leaving some reels if you are curious…
The first one is about books that made me cry like a baby!
And the second one is about unboxing my fairyloot box and all the transitions I like to do.
On the blog this week (click on the graphic to read the post)
As I was busy with work, I had difficulties keeping up with the blog and blogging in general. I only posted two reveiws and was late to reply to comments.
Where they Found Her by Kimberly McCreight was a very good mystery where I didn’t guess “who did it”.
The Jasad Heir is a very solid debut, one that I can’t wait to read the sequel!
Thanks for reading!

I haven’t been to a class reunion in so long. I probably wouldn’t recognize anyone either. And I’m sure they wouldn’t recognize me. LOL
LOL
OMG, that hike sounds like a nightmare. The reunion part sounds fun, though. I miss my friends from graduate school.
Maybe it’s time to meet again? LOL
Oh wow, 30 year reunion! That is definitely a special event!
How fun to reconnect with your university friends. Sounds like a great time – despite the hiking mishap!
It was a great time indeed!
The reunion sounds fun. Glad you had a good time.
Thank you Kimberly!
How fun to see your classmates after so long! And I’m glad the hike turned out well for everyone
Same Tammy
Sounds like you had a great time at the reunion, but kind of a scary hike, Sophie. Glad your friend wasn’t seriously injured.
Me too Teri!
oh yay for reunions those are always the best! I have only had my 10 year and that is still crazy to me lol It sounds like it was blast to reconnect after all that time. You definitely need to be careful with hiking for sure. close call!!!
Indeed it was Renee!
I’m thrilled you had such a great reunion. I don’t think I ever get notified about any college reunions other than the typical homecoming football games schools have at both high school and college levels. But we do have high school reunions every so often. The last one was 2017, so in a few years there will be another one. My home town is very small and there were 77 of us in the graduating class with 70 of them in school with us since kindergarten.

That’s indeed a small town!
That’s awesome. “rapelling” lol Although no joke about the woman who lost consciousness! Glad she’s okay. It’s nice to see old mates.
It was very nice Greg!
That was a close call with the hiking fall. Glad to hear that everyone was ok, and that a good time was had by all. That’s fun to reconnect. I only seem to do that funerals these day (UGHHH)
Dang Samantha!!! But we did see friends at a funeral too today.
That does sound like a fun reunion! The hike was a bit traumatic with going on such a dangerous route and then having a classmate get hurt, but I bet you’ll remember that for a long time. Sometimes when things don’t go to plan it’s a memorable experience.
Where They Found Her sounds like my kind of read. I’ll check out your review.
I hope you’ll enjoy Rachel!
