Currently Reinventing~ 5.6.21

I’ve seen a variety of different takes on “Currently…” posts around the blogosphere, both in the book blogging community and the healthy living community where I also lived once upon a time. I honestly don’t know who started it, but I’ve always thought it looked like fun, so here’s my take.

Currently Watching:

Last week I finally caved and subscribed to some more streaming services. I currently stream on my TV through my BluRay player, but it came out several years ago and isn’t set up to handle the new streaming services. My old computer was so slow there was no way I could stream movies or shows on it, so I just let it be. Now that I have my new laptop, speed is not an issue, so I went ahead and added Hulu, Disney + and Discovery + to the  Netflix and Prime services I already had.

Disney +

I’m currently working on catching up the animated Disney movies that I missed in the theater, from there I plan to catch up on Marvel movies, then move on to Pixar and the new original series. After that I’ll probably rewatch some favorite Disney channel shows.

Discovery +

I’m all about Food Network, though I like a lot of the home improvement shows as well, and some of the stuff from TLC, like Outdaughtered. I spent last week watching The Tournament of Champions and got through both seasons. This week I’m focusing on the Magnolia Network stuff.

Netflix

I keep going back to the Great British Baking Show and Schitt’s Creek, but I really want to check out some of the new originals, you know, like Shadow and Bone.

Hulu

The first thing I watched on Hulu after signing up? Chopped. I told you, I am really into Food Network. But they also have Love, Victor which I’ve really been wanting to see. And all kinds of old favorites that I can’t wait to revisit.

Prime

I haven’t watched much on Prime lately, the last thing I watched was Hell’s Kitchen and I think I was up to season 8 or 9. But there are a lot of originals here that look good as well. And I’m a huge John Krasinski fan, so I think I need to watch Jack Ryan.

Currently Listening:

It’s still all about the power pop females. I’m looking to add more music to my collection and am taking recommendations. I’m a little old school and prefer CDs to digital music. I spent most of the week listening to Taylor Swift’s new version of Fearless and I love Disc 2, so much! I also recently got Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger and have had that in for the last couple of days. I’m looking for some Demi Lovato (think Skyscraper) and Katy Perry (think Firework or Roar) and anything along those lines.

Currently Planning:

I’m making some lifestyle changes for health reasons, so I am working on planning what those changes are going to look like. I’m not sick, just almost 50 and overweight with a lot of risk factors.

Currently Making:

A new bullet journal for tracking healthy habits.

Currently Shopping:

Books, supplements, clothes, CDs… you know, the usual. I just got my latest Nadine West shipment and kept a little more than half of the clothes that were included. I’ve been needing new clothes for a while, so it’s been fun to see what things my “stylist” has picked out for me. A lot of times it’s things I would never have picked up for myself, but I end up really liking.

Currently Dreaming:

About a time when I feel safe to travel again, and my lack of socializing is just because I don’t like to socialize and not because of the virus.
