Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [326]

We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.

Well, I can’t say that I’ve been doing too hot with my reading lately. 😅

I hope to be spending some part of my Sunday in bed finishing Our Rogue Fates. I don’t know why I slowed down on reading this—well, I guess my mood is a big factor in that, but I need to get it read before my tour stop this week, so that’s gonna be my main focus.

What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?

I’ve been feeling rather stressed, anxious and well, emotional this week! I’m finding that work is presenting a lot of uncertainty lately. It’s a known fact that we’re struggling with funding—the landscape has changed so much in the past year it feels like all ships are capsizing in the development sector—but there’s been no guidance or clarity from leadership about what’s going to happen. It’s not looking good for June, I’m afraid, and I’m wondering if people are stuck in denial or are just really that optimistic about a positive turnaround. Honestly, I wish that could be me, but it’s not, so my anxiety has been shooting up and down all week!

I’ve also been helping my parents prepare for their trip to Central Asia in May, and they’re literally leaving at the end of this week, but there’s still so much to do! Their original tour plans fell through and none of their “friends” seems to be doing much sharing of details about where and how they booked their own trips. It makes me sad for my parents because these “friends” have no issue asking for help when they need it but can’t give it in return. Growing older is complicated and seeing my parents being treated this way breaks my heart a bit. That said, it also makes me stressed AF because I’ve essentially become their travel agent and let me tell ya, it’s no fun, haha! 🤣

Sorry for that bit of a rant. It’s been a… tough week! 😮‍💨
