MS Warrior, Bibliophile, and advocate for all those affected by ALS, Autism, and ADHD - as they affect those near & dear to me. I can always be found with a good book, singing showtunes, with at least one of my dogs on my lap. ❤️
Why is it, whenever I go to see a show, I get stuck sitting behind the 8 foot tall lumberjack with ants in his pants? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Last night was one of those nights where I fell asleep and woke up in the exact same position. I don’t remember the last time I slept so hard.

I know why I drive home in silence.

The past couple of days for me have been filled with bad news - news of illness, death, etc. - and I am worn down. This morning I am laying in bed with 3 of my dogs, absorbing all of their love and goodness, and hoping for a better day.

While we were out yesterday, I told my husband we had to stop @ the library to pick up some books I had on hold. He then proceeded to go on a tangent about the 7 books that came in the mail & asked me why I’m buying books & borrowing them. Hey - he knew what he was getting into when he married me. 😉

Only to add to the insanity of the world, I am being forced to sit back and watch as one of the best co-workers I’ve ever had is being forced out of his job due to petty nonsense. So many people have spoken up for him, but the higher ups aren’t budging. I could scream.

What’s fun about having MS? Helping my daughter with her fractions homework and all of a sudden my brain just stopped functioning and I couldn’t remember how to do ANY of the problems I just spent the past 30 minutes helping her with. Like my mind went completely blank. One of my worst moments yet.

Is anyone else’s 10 year old as argumentative as mine?

Somehow, you just KNOW his own mother knew that her son was a fucking moronic dipshit.

I spent 3 years working on my Master’s degree to be a librarian. I am finally working as a librarian. My husband tonight says to me “Are you working at the desk checking out books for people?” Is that…really what he thinks I do? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have got so much stuff to do, but my dog has been asleep on my lap for a ridiculously long time and I refuse to wake him up.

Listening to my hubs having a political argument over TikTok. Just another Saturday afternoon in my house.

It's totally fucking NUTS that we went 16 years without airline fatalities, and less than 2 weeks into trump's presidency we have planes crashing and falling out of the sky.

All while they're forcing top FAA and FBI folks to resign.

Nothing to see here, right? 🙄

Has anyone else been unable to sleep through the night since the inauguration?

Oh good. I finally land my dream job and this 🍊 moron needs to pull this stunt. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

I swear, if the giant 🍊makes it so I can’t get my coffee it’s going to get so ugly… (and yes, things are obviously so much worse…please accept my humor for what it is…)

I hope my daughters learn from my mistakes.

A month after having Covid I am now down with strep throat. Being immunocompromised is fun.

YESSS!! This is what I tell people all the time!!! ❤️
Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

I am more upset than I’d care to admit about the TT ban. However, I am super excited to see all of the lovely #BookTok crew here and have already reserved my space on Tome so I can hopefully reconnect with many of the people I followed previously because I’d be lost without their recommendations!

You know what…maybe we should buy physical copies of books. Things are getting weird.
