Books I am reading in 2025: a thread!

Finally finished THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON by Kelly Barnhill. Gorgeous MG fantasy that made me laugh, weep, and read bits out loud bc the prose is so good.

I am savoring my underemployment by cleaning, organizing, and *checks notes* being (charmingly) press-ganged onto the Board of my choir during a transition year.

Sounds about right, honestly. Nice to put sweat and tears into something that brings me joy.

Books that are FOR teenagers and books that are ABOUT teenagers are separate things. (I would argue neither one should be a kids book?) It's Publishers Choice and that makes it chaos.

My gut biome is being a DICK today so I am doing R&R at home. Which obviously includes baking apple dumplings! (Look, I know, not great for the ole biome, but it's finally baking weather!)

The mental health system in this country is so fucked, you guys. I know you know this, but FUCK. (Family drama is up to 11 this morning and I am so tired of the system continually letting us down.)

Breaking news: working PT is great but I still am grumpy about having to get up and do work on working days. I would be SUCH a good retired person! Why am I not-quite-50?! *sobs*

None of you were going to call me on that typo? Really? I mean, I know I typo a lot, but this one is ALLCAPS!

Anyway, clearly I meant vicious. Though I did feel rather viscous during my lazy afternoon before the book sorting.

Some days it's next to impossible to weed out books, and some days (like today) I am VISCOUS. I have two giant piles and am not yet done!

(I am losing a bookshelf with my planned living room shuffle and am trying VERY HARD to not replace it. The room is Too Full already!)

That's. No. Just no.

Also I am pretty sure we met for the first time at a concert promoting this album!

Does Amica do renters? I have heard nothing but glowing recs from them for Auto and Home. (I have the one who shall not be named bc Amica doesn't operate in my state.)

Today was my last Friday of work and I had ZERO meetings, which is nuts. It has been a year since I've had a day with zero meetings. I think this means folks are already working around me, with my departure imminent ( tho I will be PT for 6 more weeks). Just a weird day all around. Good!! But weird.

Two new crowns today, which is good (using the dental insurance while I have it!) but now it feels like I've been punched on both sides of my face. Ouch.

I would watch so many of these movies with you any time. (So many terrible men in movies I love, but whoo boy are they still movies of my heart.)
