Sorry I can’t make it into work today. A pit bull dozed off on top of me.

I finished this yesterday, while sitting by the window where I can see some of the same birds as Amy Tan. She lives not far from here and I’ve seen her at our local birding store!

This was fine I guess for crime. It’s difficult to write a red herring smoothly and again I was just annoyed. I need to take a break from this genre (as I have another from the library sitting on the dining room table… might just return it).

This was kind of annoying. Not enough oomph to care about if the main character was lying or not.

An audio book that I started last year and listened to in 15-minute increments before bed because audiobooks make me doze off.

2025 Book thread! I’ve actually finished a few books so far this year but haven’t been in the mood to start my thread. I start now with a reread of a favorite, Interview with a Vampire. Kiddo is reading it for school and I got nostalgic. I read it the first time around her age.

Happy birthday to me.

Heading out to a rally today.

(It’s cold and rainy so I’m doing the best I can with my layers.)

As we were hopping into bed last night and Mr. Scott was pulling out his phone to check headlines I told him I didn’t want to hear any news right before bed for the next few days or weeks.

He got up first to make coffee this morning and left this mug out for me, knowing I’d need it.

How did your day start?

I don’t mean to brag, but I just extracted board games from that top shelf in the back. (It was quite the feat of contortionism.)

Heading into SF this evening.

Do sideplanks even count unless a dog is licking your feet while you do them?

My best workout buddy is still constantly by my side.

Our new neighborhood has trails and mi Magocito loves it. He’s adjusted very well to life in California. He has a nice adventurous backyard full of squirrels and a skunk and a raccoon.
