@thedisasterautist I went through an Agatha Christie phase around that time too! Christopher Fowler is a favorite of mine too. I haven’t read The Relic, but I’ll put it in my list!

@DavidKMresists 🤣 I’m currently starting Peter Beagle’s newest book, I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons, so I guess I’ve gone full circle!

@LilydelBarrio Graphic novels count!

In the mornings, we cuddle and knit socks. #DogsOfCoSo #DogDaySunday

Me:

12: The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper

16: All books by Stephen King & Tolkien

22: Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, All things Anne Rice

now: The oeuvre of Holly Black

Politics news got me like….

Today’s breakfast is a heck of a lot more satisfying to me than reading the news. Fresh grapes from our garden and toast with avocado, salmon, and cheese. 😋 And of course, coffee.

I hope you all have a good morning, wherever you are.

@KGinKS Sending healing thoughts your way. ❤️

I’m so tired.

My dog is a Scottish terrorist.

People are working on our street. They are very aware of her displeasure.

@VanontheBorder Thank you for ❤️

Storm front has brought on a migraine. MonyMony has curled up napwise in my lap. This is my entire plan for the day, apparently.

I am so so sorry. ❤️@jaunty

Tuning out the news this week and staying off social media so I can calm my anxiety. Instead of worrying, I’m going to stay busy with clearing this house, calling an auctioneer for the furnishings, calling to donate a boat to NPR, getting an appraisal for high-priced items (🤞🏼), and taking unused clothing to Goodwill.

MonyMony wants to spend the day napping on my lap. She might be onto something.

Early to rise means an early bedtime at the end of the day. Tomorrow, I’ve got no alarm set and no agenda other than some vague chores that might just wait until Monday because I’ve had enough of today. Stay safe, y’all.

We keep coming across things that were my dad’s. My aunt made a small quilt wall-hanging for his 75th birthday that everyone signed. We never hung it up, but letting go of it now that he’s gone along with several of those signing family members is like…ugh. But we have no use for it. It’s been sat in a drawer for almost 20 years. And looking at it makes mom and me both sad. So…trash? No one else wants it. There’s no one to give it to. So..sigh. Trash.

@VanontheBorder Thank you! We have 6 months or so before we go, but we’re trying to figure out logistics so we don’t have surprises.

Figuring out logistics of moving to Europe and still retain a few precious things from our old life testing my Tetris skills to the max. “How many precious things can I cram into suitcases without going over the weight limit?”
