It’s happening. My 14 year old said there’s a girl he likes that he wants to ask out. We had a conversation about how to handle rejection just in case. I’m not ready for this.

Had a date with somebody that knows my political views. Politics came around and he said he voted for Donald Trump even though he didn’t like him. He kept trying to excuse it. Sorry, but no. All interest just went out the window. Don’t waste my time.

Finished #Quicksilver last night. It had a satisfying end so I almost didn’t buy #Brimstone. I ended up getting it because I wanted to see what happened next.

Just took the plunge and ordered an ereader. A kindle paperwhite to be exact. I agonized over which to get, the 16 or 32 gb. I finally got the 16. I just read so much and I’ve run out of room on my shelf. I think I’m going to donate soon. I hate to do it. The shelf trophies are real.

My 14 year olds Dr thinks he’s autistic and I’m starting to think I’m autistic too.

Got a new psychiatrist that actually prescribed non stimulant adhd meds but she didn’t refill my bipolar meds and I’m struggling. I’ve been separating myself from my family because they don’t need to see my mood swings or mania. It just sucks. I don’t know why she didn’t refill them. I’m upset

I’ve been listening to the Fantasy Fangirls podcast for #ACOTAR and #ACOMAF. I finally turned it off after crying for chapter 54. I told somebody that was where it really got good and they argued that it was chapter 55. Nope. 55 is the sex. 54 is the love. I will always put 54 above 55. #booksky

I took a kitten from my neighbors yard. They don’t take care of all the strays they feed and there are always kittens hanging around. This is Pepper and I love him. He went to the vet yesterday. He has a cold but that’s it.

This kitten is so scared but I’m still glad I took it. I’m tired of seeing cats in the street.

I took a kitten from the litter a stray had across the street. It’s almost all black except for a little tuft of white on its chest. I think it has an upper respiratory infection (I’ve dealt with them before). I’m going to make an appointment with the vet. I think it’s still too small to be fixed.

I finally told my date from last week that his long nails bothers me. He said he noticed so he cut them. I’m giving him another chance because I like him so much other than that. Our second date is tomorrow. I’m excited.

I met somebody I like but he’s got two marks against him. 1: he lives an hour away. 2: he’s got nails like talons. He has cerebral palsy so I don’t know if it’s a disability thing. That isn’t what he said when I questioned him though. Idk, it bothers me. We have a lot in common besides that.

I hate online dating. I just had a guy ask for my address as his second message to me. Um…no. It’s a pass from me sir.

My TBR just got a little longer. I need an intervention. Also, if you’re in the vicinity of Brooksville, FL there’s a great little book shop there called Citrus and Sage. They even had a coffee shop inside.

I stayed up until 4 this morning reading. Now I’m paying for it. At least it’s Saturday but still. I just took a 3 hour nap.

Why do ENM couples on dating sites always call themselves adventurous? Is it like a requirement?

When I was 16 I met a man from Ethiopia. We worked at McDonald’s together. He looked young and said he was 20. We started dating. My parents found out and had him arrested. When he was arrested, they showed me his ID that said he was 32. I was just thinking about it (27years later).

Just realized I stayed up till 1AM to finish a book. This is like reaching back to when I was a kid and would lay in bed with a flashlight and a book for hours past my bedtime. Except now I’m 43 and sitting on the couch.

Much as I love reading romantasy, it makes me miss having somebody special in my life. Eventually, I would like to have that again. I just can’t find somebody that makes me feel as good as I feel alone. Somebody that adds to my life, that will let me add to theirs.

I’m going back through the ACOTAR series. Reading much loved books is like hugging an old friend. I love it. There have only been a few books that I loved the more I read them. Sarah J. Maas is incredible.

I had a conversation with a coworker about safes vs a safe deposit box. I told them I have a safe with a few documents and my external hard drive. Then I told him what’s on my external hard drive and he laughed at me. It’s hundreds and hundreds of recipes. I guess it says a lot about me.
