Weekly Recap: 9/1 - 9/7

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOG

Hi everyone! This week started off incredibly stressful with the hurricane heading our way. My area got off extremely lucky and only got a bit of wind and rain Tuesday night. Sadly, my brother was not able to make his visit due to airport closures. I spent the next couple days tracking the storm as it made its way up to my family in North Carolina, but their area was spared also. I really feel for everyone who was so terribly affected by this beast of a hurricane. 

Despite no real effects from the storm, much of Central Florida was completely shut down Tuesday and Wednesday so I took the opportunity to check out Galaxy's Edge with pretty small crowds! Sadly, I was unimpressed. As someone who grew up on the Original Trilogy and was in middle school and high school when the Prequel Trilogy was coming out, I was really disappointed not to see more from the films I grew up with. The atmosphere was really nice to look at, but I got the feeling that it was more of a well themed shopping mall and the merch I wanted wasn't even there since most things for sale were based on the Sequel Trilogy or generic Star Wars-looking stuff. I'll probably go back and give it another chance, but first impressions weren't great.

I'm happy to report that my dog decided he LOVED his eye drops, which made it a lot easier to give them, and he also got a clean bill of health on Friday! In other happy news, I got my keeper copy of Loki and two copies of Darkdawn, despite not having read the series yet... I should probably get started on that soon.
