Into The Still Blue (Under The Never Sky #3) by Veronica Rossi

So I only got to read one book this week. Unfortunately, Halloween night I got sick. My daughter and my fiance got a really mild cold with just some coughing and sneezing. Somehow mom got it 10x worse. I ended up not only with the coughing and sneezing, but also a sore throat and Halloween night, a fever of 100.3. Both of them are fine now but I'm still sick. No more fever though! Just trying to get rid of this sore throat and stuffy nose. But getting sick definitely put a damper on my week. I've been so out of it that I couldn't focus on reading the book I started until today. But at least my sweet little kitty has been by my side. He has literally been laying right next to me all week since I got sick keeping an eye on me and trying to make me feel better. He's such a sweet little guy. So I had to put off my second review I wanted to do this week. I'm looking for it to be up Sunday or Monday now instead.

But in the midst of getting sick I did get some good news! I found out I passed my midterm with a 77% for my math class!!! I was super stressing about it. I struggled on it. My college has a policy that you have to pass your math tests with a 68% average or higher to pass the class regardless of the rest of the grades in the class. So I was stressing that I wasn't gonna get a high enough grade to help my test average. Lets just say a huge weight got lifted when I found out I got a 77%. 

Also, since I was sick, I just laid around and rested, so I started planning my daughters birthday party!!! She turns 3 in exactly one month (December 4th). I made the Facebook event for her party, and have a good idea of the decorations I wanna get/make for her party thanks to Pinterest. 

Since I got sick on Halloween we didn't get to do all the stuff we were gonna do for festivities. I did manage to make fun pudding cups with worms (like worms are coming out of the ground) before the sick overcame me. Lol. However we didn't get to decorate our pumpkin shaped cookies, and I fell asleep halfway through movies. We were watching IT (the original, not the new one). I do have a picture of the pudding cups!
