Synopsis: "A lonely librarian cataloging a remote estate discovers a chained bear and develops a forbidden physical relationship with the animal..."
This won lit fict awards in Canada and yes, I've read it. Yes, it is unhinged.

Today's pull is the Queen of Pentacles, which is like the Ace of Cups' BFF. The universe is telling me something, but I am catching only glimpses of insight as I turn my brain inside out. I need to figure this out! (Art by Elisabeth Alba for the Everyday Witch Tarot) #TarotSky

For the last three daily pulls, it's been the same card each time: Ace of Cups. This is one of the more powerful positive cards in the deck and brings about new beginnings, creativity, and joy. I've been digging deep with the interpretations of each pull, so hopefully I can figure it out! #Tarotsky

If there are any Iowans (or anyone who gets the joke) who wear a size women's small, I have the following t-shirt available for the cost of shipping. Raygun accidentally added it to the XL mystery bag, and only my thigh is a women's small. DM me if interested!

My Lego MINI is done! ❤️ Considering the pieces were loose in a bag for nearly a decade and I didn’t lose one is amazing. I have a few more Lego sets to do but need to clean off some space off a few bookshelves first.

On Sunday, Sept 7 at 19:47, Mortimer hit the 100,000 miles. Mortimer is 9 years old, & I plan on driving him into the ground. (Our mileage is low because in KY, Mr. Lisa and I both worked from home and only drove once or twice a week. Here in N. Michigan, I'm driving between 75 to 100 miles a day.)
