We are behind on comments – catching up this week!
Olivia Update 🐾
October is Olivia’s favourite time of year. She has a few orange/black/white collars for her, but we reserve her Bat collar for the 1st and 31st of October!

Olivia may need a bit of a bib trim since the collar, when positioned properly, is simply covered by fluff. But! For the majority of the month, she will be wearing her candy corn/pumpkin collar since that one is her purrsonal favourite. Super cozy and fashionable.
Life Update
Physiotherapy has been going well! My back pain is nearly gone and the exercises I’ve been doing have now incorporated some resistance training. It’s been easy for me adhere to doing my exercises daily, I just need to be more consistent with walking so I’ll look for some good audiobooks and podcasts. If you have any recs, let me know!
Shows We’ve Been Watching:



Rings of Power. Last episode was not my fav, but overall enjoying this series.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5. What an intense last episode! Also, I’m pretty sure I’m due for a reread of the original HMT and The Testaments.
Sandman. I feel pretty meh about this one.
Reading Update
We now have a Kindle and a Kobo!
This week we completed 2 books!


Witches of Brooklyn by Sophie Escabasse. So cute! This graphic novel was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the concept and am looking forward to reading book two!

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson. Wow, was this ever an amazing book. Definitely check out my book review and see if it’s a book you’d like to add to your TBR!

QOTD: Do you enjoy
spooky season? Or are you more of
a cozy autumn reader? Or both?

I’m glad to hear physio is working magic on you! I’d definitely recommend Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan. The author also narrates the book. Have a wonderful week ahead Sara!

So glad that the therapy has helped with the back pain. What a relief (literally). Hooray for the new Kindle! I’ve had Kindle Fire tablets for the last 8-9 years and just switched to a Paperwhite last year. My Kindle goes everywhere with me! 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

The last episode of Rings of Power was interesting. It created a lot of plausibility questions for me and my family. Love the October themed cat collars! And, so glad your back is feeling better ❤️

Aw that’s a cute collar. 🙂 And I’ve been enjoying the Rings of Power too. I need to get back to Handmaid’s Tale, I’ve only seen the first season.
Hope you have a greta week!

I’m so glad your back pain is nearly gone! That must be such a relief! I love Olivia’s collar. Since Izzy doesn’t go outside, we don’t have any collars for her. We did when she was a kitten. It had a bell so we knew where she was. I think she’d hate us if we tried putting a collar on her now. LOL.

Olivia is decked out for the season! Fantastic.
Black Cake sounds really good. I probably need to look for it.

Your cat is cute and so is the collar. I love everything about Fall. The cooler weather, pretty leaves and yes spooky things. Hope you have a great rest of your week!
I love the bat collar! That is so cute. I am glad the physiotherapy is going well and your back is feeling better. I have been good about doing my physical therapy exercises with the exception of yesterday. My knee was hurting more than it has in awhile. I definitely plan to start up again today. My husband and I are really enjoying Rings of Power so far. Now that you have both a Kobo and a Kindle, what do you think? How do they compare?
I am glad you enjoyed Black Cake! I was eyeing that one on my shelf the other day wondering if I was ready to read it.
I hope you have a great weekend and week!
