I miss this guy. Here he is when we got him and were told he’d be 40 lbs. And again before we lost him when he was 90 lbs.

Loving Mr Sunshine the intrigue is smarter than most of what I’m seeing irl. But man those metal glides on the dresser really pulled me out of the moment.

Listening to In Pieces the Sally Field memoir and having my heart broken. Her famous Oscar speech with all its earnestness makes so much sense now.

Found this in a neighborhood little library. It’s been a while since I read a Douglas Coupland book. I’m enjoying this.

This is mine after an hour of walking. I’m definitely seeing a difference. Mine is 2 1/2. How old is yours?

Three books on the go right now. Loving all three in very different ways. Having left an abusive marriage 20 yrs ago I’m a bit late to Why Does He Do That but I think it is helpful in lots of ways. Return of the Thief is the conclusion to a great series. Bad Cree is wonderfully tense and creepy.

When I first heard of Dungeon Crawler Carl I thought what kind of creepy gross book is that? Then I saw more and more about how good it is, especially the audiobook. And I finally broke down and bought it and am I ever glad I did.

Busy having my heart broken. Much honour to Henrietta Lacks. Thank you to Rebecca Skloot for sharing the story of Henrietta, her family and her cells.

Three quarters of the way through Harrow the Ninth and I’m pretty sure it will require many more readings to understand it. It is brilliant, fun and full of twists and turns.

I love my snorer baby in his little post surgery body suit. He looks like a Beat poet when he’s not snoozing.
