Our Summer into Autumn transition has been so deceiving this year and suddenly today I needed a turtleneck under my hoodie and realized I didn't have socks on. It's been glorious. I will regroup in the morning.

My Mom died in 1980 when I was 19. October 10th was the day. I try to celebrate it now. It was so long ago. Her spirit lives in my grandchildren, her greats. I made her peanut butter cookies today like I do every year. My other Mom has been here for 40 years. I love her as well. Lucky me.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Life feels awful. Going to bed because of this. Husband, bed, cat. That is all.

Been off killer with a sinus infection. Made soup, did the Irish goodbye at the one thing I went to. Spent chill time with family and Siggy. Pick your choices carefully. Do that if it keeps you whole. You don't have to impress anyone except yourself. Do that. Have a good week kids.

I am a Patriot and Red Sox fan in PA. Grew up in CT. Watching Pats and Bills on Peacock right now. We rarely get that here. I'm enjoying it! My next door cottage owner lives in Orchard Park and is at the game as of coursea Bills fan. Lol. One degree of separation.

It's 81 degrees out and I made chicken vegetable barley soup and apple crisp. I must be losing my mind.

The next few months at the library will be interesting. Fed funding cuts, PA budget angst, all other angst...All the "Everything will work out" talk is going to hit the proverbial fan perhaps. I wait, thinking of my life and it's impact. Economically, no. Emotionally, 100%.

We watched Hunters are for Killing tonight. It is a hokey 1970 movie starring a young Burt Reynolds. The soundtrack overpowered it all. But, this clip features my cousin Mary (Jill Banner). She ended up in the cop car at the end. Nice to see her.

#librarytalk There are always more words". My husband tattooed that on his leg, in Runes for me years ago. Still matters. Who you are matters in the heart, the soul. We will trust this generation.

My granddaughter is 5 tomorrow. I drove to meet her during Covid. Weird vibe and she is amazing. Saw her in Boston last week. Sent a happy birthday video for her for the morning. Treasure that.

My Dad was on a light ship on the Outer Banks in the 1950s in the Coast Guard rescuing people in wooden boats. He was from South Dakota. Life is life.
