We set off for the library, dodge all the food lying about, and get the best seats on the bus (right at the front on the top deck)

(I am feeling ill, so that's it for today and I'll have to continue later 😅)

It's not looking good for even getting to noon before the day is through, but I'll enjoy reading all yours! ❤️

A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.

A girl dressed in casual clothes with a lab coat over them holds a beaker full of a bubbling liquid and an eye-dropper that she's just used on her cat. The cat looks aghast as one of its paws has enlarged to an enormous size. Behind them is a lab table with lots of chemicals, and a giant nail polish container. The information on the card reads "Michael Dashow, illustrator, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, represented by Vicky Weber at CMA"

This is great advice. I know it’s not possible for everyone all the time, especially right now, but do your best, or you won’t last.

3 mins and 19 seconds worth of excellent advice.
