I have reached an age where I'm starting to become invisible. It's absolutely fascinating and frustrating at the same time.

With the exception of our two bathrooms, there is at least one shelf full of books. Our living room and my office could be considered small libraries by themselves.
Whenever I walk into someone's home that doesn't have books, I feel sad, like friends weren't invited to the party.

It's been a hot minute since I last posted. After SDCC, I went to IL to visit a bestie for a long weekend. We had a smashing time. A couple weeks after coming home, I was struck down by a gastrointestinal illness that I am just now recovering from. Missed a whole week of work.

I "might" be a bit excited over the new Stargate brick build my spouse bought for me. Granted, I won't have time to build it until August, but just knowing it's here makes me happy.

Today's #tarot card is the nine of swords from The Phantomwise Tarot based on Erin Morgenstern's novel, The Night Circus.
"Uneasiness and circular thinking. A time of being wound up in worries and doubts. Cycles of anxiety. A need to move on from dark thoughts and escape restless nights."
