Finally got around to watching The Sadness last night, and I am not okay.

Couldn’t listen to the audiobook fast enough. Had to grab the book. Local library for the win! And for my sanity 😂

Got @johnlangan.bsky.social's new collection after @talkscaredpod.bsky.social's Best of 2025 ep and 😳 Ever get that feeling something’s about to grab your foot when you get out of bed? Terrified even while telling yourself it’s irrational? Yeah. I checked under the bed after reading the title story.

My parents got me a new chair, and it might be the best one I’ve ever owned.

They sponsored a seat in our library’s new auditorium, with my name on it. The library is my happy place, safe space, and escape.

Now I get to be part of it forever. 💛

Yep, that's me crying when I saw my nameplate on the seat. My seat at our local library's new auditorium. A gift from my parents. The new Hatch Auditorium at the Library Center. The stage in the new Hatch Auditorium.

Spending Halloween night with @rebelsam94.bsky.social's Galloway's Gospel. What could possibly go wrong???
Galloway's Gospel by Sam Rebelein prompted up against a broken headstone in an old cemetery.

What an incredible, slow burn, deeply satisfying read on Halloween day.

Get to go stalk - I mean, meet! - one of my all-time favorite authors at the Springfield-Greene County Library tonight 🤯 @claymcleod.bsky.social has a direct line to the terror center of my brain!

My husband is a local sports photographer. Sometimes I go with him. Sometimes, I watch whatever game he's covering. Sometimes, I read. Tonight, I am sitting in a little gym, trying hard not to ugly cry while reading The Angel of Indian Lake by @sgj.bsky.social. Soooo...cool.

Did some therapeutic cross stitching last night. Think I might make it into a throw pillow?

New friends on my neighbor's house. The neighbors who moved out in the middle of the night... Someone should check the backyard for feshly turned dirt. Just sayin.

Have At Dark I Become Loathsome by @ericlarocca.bsky.social cued up to start listening to tonight. Is being pre-terrified a thing?

Decided it was a good idea to watch Horror in the High Desert directed by @dutchmarich.bsky.social after listening to this week's episode of @talkscaredpod.bsky.social. Nightmares ensued, and the pup would like a word with both of you. (This is how she watched the entire movie)

Sali the Weimaraner under her blanket, watching Horror in the High Desert. She is of little to no use as a watch dog. Coward

One of the most beautiful things about a library is when you are looking for one book and then happen to find another book you didn't realize you needed and it fills your heart.

Loving Our Own Bones by Julia Watts Belser checked out from the library. And a sleepy weimaraner ready to spend the evening snuggling and reading.

My dachshund's "Mom, I don't know why you're sad, but if you come over here and let me give you puppy kisses I bet you'll feel better" face.

When there is 7" of snow on the ground, the only course of action is to bake cookies and listen to horror books.
A mix of chocolate chip cookies and chocolate peanut butter cookies.

Found these two fine gentlemen at a thrift store today. They were hand sewn by a clown who worked for the Ringling Bros. They have a story to share. At least, that's what they told me, so I brought them home.
