Thinks about writing a memoir. I should probably read more before I start.

I feel like I found a unicorn. Not only does my husband put up with me, he has completely accepted my differently abled daughter. He doesn’t consider himself a stepfather, but he acts like one. He inspires me to be better every day. I am truly blessed.

I have the best customers visit the bookstore. Got a message from a regular to tell me they wouldn’t make it this week. Another one brought me awesome donuts two days ago. Book people are amazing.

My husband always tries to bring out the best in me. He has a set of daily goals.
1. The snort laugh
2. The Goofy laugh
3. For fucks sake!
4. WHat?
If he can get all of these out of me in a day, he’s happy.

I’ve been enjoying audiobooks lately. Narrators should really look into the pronunciation of solder, weary/wary, dais.

Watched V For Vendetta last night, we generally do on November 5. Such a good movie. The speech when V introduced himself to Evie is spectacular.

I’m having a friend over tonight. It’s been a while since I’ve had a friend. I hope I remember how to do this.

Pippin is not a fan of time changes. He’s been letting me sleep in lately so I’m hoping this one will be easier. This is his “I want something” face.

There are some things that will always be useful. The heating pad that soothed my cramps as a teenager now soothes my lower back in middle age. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I feel like I’ve been in survival mode for the past two years, now things are a bit better and I can relax which means I’m riding burnout. I’m exhausted.

I should be doing dishes and laundry, however I’m sitting with a heating pad on my back, sipping boozy coffee and listening to an audiobook. Happy Saturday!

Took my daughter to Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Port Theatre last night. A great time was had by all. She did the Time Warp on stage, sang all the songs. It’s the one movie where no one cares if you make noise, perfect for her. A few of her outbursts were well timed and got laughs.

It got chilly and I was trying to postpone turning the heat on so I bought a fleece robe for $20 at Giant Tiger. I am delightfully surprised to find it glows in the dark. It truly is the little things that make life great.

Can we talk about being neurodivergent and menopausal? My symptoms exacerbate overstimulation. I don’t feel like myself. Throw in an injury and I’m useless.

Daughter, 24 and autistic with a developmental disability, doesn’t want a “sitter”. Got a Nest camera. She was by herself for 3 hours today. I talked to her a few times while she was alone. She was so much happier when I got home from work than usual. This might work.

My husband was working last evening and asked if I minded picking up something for him. He would absolutely do it for me so I set out around 7:30. Tripped on the sidewalk 2 blocks from home. Went down kinda hard. Skinned my knee and hands. Haven’t done that in decades. It hurts.

I’ve been loving audiobooks lately. Currently listening to Glow, fourth book in the Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy. Wasn’t sure if I was into this series after the first two books but the third really grabbed my attention. The finale of Gleam was so good.

Would you haggle over prices with the cashier at a grocery store? No. Why argue with a clerk in a used bookstore? I don’t understand some people. If you can get books at the thrift store for 50¢, great. That doesn’t mean we can sell them for that price.

I bought some milled flower today. It has two different types of sativa with a strange little scooper in the middle. It’s called Fun Trip. Reminds me of the Fun Dip candy I used to get as a kid. Clever.

The only reason I still pay for Disney plus is my daughter. She’s autistic and developmentally delayed but knows that the picture quality is better than her DVDs. I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.

It’s been a rough couple of years. My husband got a good job after looking for over a year. While he was unemployed he did everything in his power to make my life easier. Now I happily get up at 5am to make his lunch. That’s marriage.

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen.

I don’t need an alarm clock, I have a cat who demands love and breakfast before 6am. He meowed in my face at 5:20 this morning. I like helping my husband get ready for work so I’m not mad about it.

My husband got a job after being unemployed for too long (job market around here is tough). I’m on tenterhooks, waiting to see what it will feel like to have another income. I might be able to relax a bit in about 3 months.
