If anyone is wondering how I’m doing, I bought TWO of these on Saturday at 930pm, thinking I would be a healthy girl during my pumpkin spice era.

Labor Day reading. One more chapter in Fisher’s book, plus a little narrative non-fiction.
Also listening to The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. After my great experience with Atmosphere, I decided to jump into another book of hers.
