I turned 34 Sunday - the 5th time in my life my birthday has been on Mother’s Day, and my second time as a mother! 💕 it was a great day spent riding rollercoasters at Cedar Point, and I have a feeling that 34 will be my best year yet - so much esp. my 1st house & wedding on horizon!

It’s my birthday eve eve eve and I’m making the debut of my new mobility aid, Rory the Rollator! Thanks for all the mobility aid advice! As you can tell by the last picture, I put it together this weekend and it was quickly co-opted by one of my cats, Barnes.

April Read #10/11: HoverGirls by Geneva Bowers. @gdbee.bsky.social ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Loved the art and the relationship between the two main characters, as well as their back stories and the clever defeat of the villains.

April read #9: Rules for Ghosting by @shellyjayshore.bsky.social. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. By far the best book I read this year so far. Trans protagonist, complex Jewish family, tons of humor and heart - plus ghosts!! The characters, prose, and relationships are top notch; I wanted to stay in this book forever.

April feels like it passed in the blink of an eye, but along with a great mini-vacation, I got a lot of reading done this month: 11 books read total! Book #8: A Holiday Homicide by @elliealexander.bsky.social. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 loved the gingerbread competition & characters; end felt abrupt. Still 💕 the series

Good thoughts appreciated - have been having a bad flare for 5 days now (especially lower back, flank & left hip pain, as well as spine pain), & it’s just been getting worse and I haven’t really had much of an appetite over that time, so I went to the local ER to be seen, mostly to r/o infection.

Has anyone switched mobility aids from a cane to something more and can advise me? I’m on my own a lot and a wheelchair doesn’t make sense, but I have considered a lightweight wheeled rollator with a seat. It would be a big investment but could mean a lot for ongoing independence.

On day 4 of one of the worst chronic pain flares I’ve had in a long while thanks to the temps and probably overdoing it on vacation (don’t regret it though!). Have gotten a little house stuff done but mostly been bedridden; had some good reading time though!

Was able to take 3 days off work and have been on a delightful mini-cation with my daughter over the last 3 & next 2 days! Children’s museum & bakery for gluten free Easter treats; Easter weekend w/ my parents & partner; butterfly garden today & indoor waterpark tomorrow! Never been to the latter.

I didn’t start really seeing myself in stories until my 30’s, which is a big contributing factor to me not realizing I was disabled until my mid 20s and not coming out as queer and non-binary until my 30s! Now my daughter gets to read children’s books with disabled protagonists and queer families 🥹

April Read #7: The Out Side, a comic anthology featuring all trans and non-binary artists including @sagecoffey.bsky.social, @aikosmith.com & @danacorn.bsky.social. One of my favorite reads of the year so far - full of honesty, hope & trans life affirmation; loved the various art styles. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

April read #6: Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston. So wish this series was around when I was a middle schooler! Amari is a delightful protagonist and I love her magical school and world and the supporting characters, especially her “unturned dragon” roommate, and her love of family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25

So behind! 😂 April read #5: Death at the Dinner Party, Secret Bookcase #3 by @elliealexander.bsky.social. Another fun one! Love getting to see Priya take more center stage in this one; she’s a fave supporting character and love her sapphic relationship, as well as more of the town’s history! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Catching up on this! April read 4: The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman. My favorite Thursday Murder Club yet: suspenseful & interesting plot, lots of humor, interspersed with a surprising amount of bittersweet sadness and wisdom about aging and the mind. An easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I loved the fact that artists took an AI “trend” back and made their own awesome art out of it! I am anti-AI but not an artist - BUT I live with an artist, my 11 year old daughter! This is her first ever commission, which she’d tell you proudly - I paid her $10 & will cherish it forever 💕

@elliealexander.bsky.social You - and specifically your protagonist Annie - have corrupted me: I haven’t watched a show with a plot since December & have only been watching home & food stuff, but I’m reading A Holiday Homicide and Annie hasn’t just gotten Liam hooked on BritBox, I’m watching

Perfect Sunday afternoon after going to church & potluck, running errands & starting tackling the biggest doom piles in preparation for impending move - tucked in bed, jammied up, cuddling with all 3 kitties & my ereader! Now we just have to decide what to watch & what to read! 📚🌎📚💙

It’s interesting dealing with the logistics & practical things of big life changes but also trying to work through the emotional stuff at the same time. While most of the housework I’m doing this weekend is just catching up on folding like a month’s worth of clean laundry & other necessary stuff,

April read #3: Witchlight by @hugbox.bsky.social. This was another fast paced fantasy graphic novel that I really enjoyed; loved the main characters and all the people they met along the way, and the charming art! Loved the ending - there were some shocking high stakes but they resolved cozily. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Back into my reads for this month so far: #2: Squire by @saraalfageeh.bsky.social & @nadiashammas.bsky.social. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5. Beautiful art; fast paced realistic fantasy with great characters & a compelling plot. Not what I normally read with the war/dynasty plot but it was gripping and I ended up ❤️ing it!

I just discovered this series and I’m so excited to hop in (as I need to always have a cozy Murder series in the wings and dangerously caught up on my current one). Would love some reading buddies if others are interested! 🥰 Book one is Magic, Lies & Deadly Pies by Misha Popp @mishapopp.bsky.social

Big big things happening over the last few and the next few days, weeks, months. Trying my best to breathe deeply, do the next right thing, help the person who needs it incl. when that person is me! Tomorrow it’ll be my daughter; please pray/send good thoughts as she sees her neurosurgeon tomorrow.
