Cloudy Day Sunny Day
Cloudy Day Sunny Day | Donald Crews
54 posts | 1 read
The day is gray and cloudy. It's a good day to snuggle up with a book, a fine day for make-believe, until . . . the sun bursts through the clouds! Now it's a great day to fly a kite, the perfect day to ride a bike. No matter what the weather, each new day is a fresh opportunity to stretch and to explore. Caldecott Honor recipient Donald Crews celebrates the familiar activities that keep two siblings and their parents busy--and happy--from sunrise to bedtime.

I wish I could say #babyitscoldoutside , it‘s snowing and I‘m snuggled up with a #bookandblankie beside the fireplace,...unfortunately it‘s cloudy over here and looks like it‘s going to rain any time now.
(pictured not my dog).

1. Naturally it‘s starting to cloud up. At least it‘s not cold.
2. Science fiction
3. At the 🏖. I‘m perfectly happy to sit in a chair and read. In the 🌃, walking and sightseeing. Either way there‘s good food and drink!
4. It‘s brick and cream stucco.
5. So difficult to narrow it down to just one! My favorite so far this year has been The Summer Wives!

This one was too funny not to share. Sorry I haven‘t been on here much. I‘m having health issues and apartment hunting. Zillow is very exhausting and addictive at the same time. I really should be packing, but I finally started reading Meddling Kids and if #Ozzie hadn‘t jumped on my chest in jealousy that I finally had time to read, and stopped petting him, I would be a lot farther along. Oh well stay safe and warm my friends!! ❤️❤️❤️📚📚📚😻😻😻

Hope you guys had a great Christmas!! Sorry I wasn‘t on here I had too much rich food ( just a small amount of trail mix and butter and cheese popcorn) really early in the day and was sick all day. Today I have a psychiatrist appointment so I HAVE to go out in this mess. Sanity or warmth? Hhhmmm right now that seems like a rough decision, j/k ( maybe) Oh well everyone going back to work bundle up and stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️ Merry Belated Christmas 🎄

MayginReads I'm so sorry you were sick all day. I can relate. It's awful! 7y

I now have 3 overdue library books but I just want to cuddle under the covers and read today instead of making the 12 block round trip quest to the library. I don‘t have much cash. I have credit, but not cash. Darnitt why can‘t you pay library fines with a credit card? This is going into the cash I have for laundry money now. Good grief. I wouldn‘t mind, I like the cold, but I am already sick 😷#booknerdproblems also, do they count Sunday?

Ashley_Nicoletto My library doesn't make you pay right away unless the fines are large. Something to check into! If it's only a few books for a few days you might be okay. 7y
Tamra Sadly, due dates are the reason I don‘t check out physical books. 😑 I can‘t hardly keep track of my head, (and my kids school library days, let alone extra due dates). It is silly you can‘t pay the fines online. 7y
Mimi28 @Ashley_Nicoletto I don‘t think they let you check out any more books until you pay the fine though. I have a book there on hold I need to pick up also. It shouldn‘t be that much though. Thanks! 7y

Mimi28 @Tamra I feel the same way. They should let you pay the fines online. 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Bummer! Here we can continue to check out books until the fine is $5. 7y
Mimi28 @Ashley_Nicoletto @Tamra I was all decked out in my winter gear and boots and then I remembered I forgot a book I needed, and came back and was going to go back out but decided not to. Then my mom reminded me I had forgotten the cash for the overdue books anyway!! I‘m glad I had only walked a half block. That would have been embarrassing!! Lol 😂 7y
Tamra @Mimi28 close call! 7y
Mimi28 @Tamra I know! I‘ve been forgetting a lot of stuff lately 🙄I had to write out all my passwords and everything. I guess I‘m just getting old, lol 7y
Tamra @Mimi28 join the rest of us! 7y
Linear What app is is that it describes the weather that way LOL 7y
Mimi28 @Linear I‘m sorry it took me so long to respond. The app is called WTForecast and it‘s free!! You can change the profanity settings also. It‘s hilarious!! 7y

😂😂I needed that laugh! I've been getting headaches every evening for about a week now. My mom thinks I am eating too much salt or it's because the heat kicks in when the temp drops. I'm starting to think it may be because of a couple of bad teeth. Whatever it is, at least I have my books. At least I have my books, lol, 📚📚📚❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊My room is too cluttered with them to even put a humidifier in and risk moisture damage. #booknerdproblems

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Hope you feel better!!!! 7y
WarpedSweetness I hope you figure it out soon so you can stop them! Headaches and migraines are the worst. 7y
Mimi28 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks, I'll be ok. I have to watch my salt intake and clean my room enough to bring a humidifier in, and find the number for the dentist, lol. Thanks for your concern! ❤️❤️ 7y

Mimi28 @WarpedSweetness I hope so too, thanks! ❤️❤️ 7y
Graciouswarriorprincess Hope that you figure it out and feel better soon! 7y
mariaku21 Hopefully it's not teeth related! Might just be a combo of salt and heat as the body tends to retain salt for long periods. Try drinking more water? see if that helps... 7y

I live in a very populated area ( Chicago) and sometimes it sucks for a simple, shy, quiet, introverted, crazy cat lady like me, who would just like to be able to sit on her front porch and read without worrying about being shot or drug dealers acting like me being on my own porch is interrupting their hustle. The temp is ok, but honestly I still feel safer in the winter. When I went to go visit my friend in OK I couldn't stand the quiet though😂

Mimi28 I guess I'll never be satisfied. And please let me note that I am in a particularly rough part of town, not all of Chicago is like this. It's a pretty cool city actually. 👍❤️ 7y
Suet624 I wish it were easier for you. I'm not sure I could handle that pressure. 7y
Mimi28 @Suet624 Thanks ❤️ I grew up here but I feel so out of place. I guess because it's gotten worse as l got older. I'm very far from the beach. I also have very bad anxiety and not many friends here. Sorry, I just needed to vent a little. Thanks (((( hugs )))))))) 7y

Tamra Vent away. 🤗 7y
Mimi28 @Tamra Thanks!! When I went to visit my friend in Oklahoma it was sooo quiet it drove me crazier though, lol. I need to hear sirens and traffic at least, lol. I guess no place is perfect though 🤷🏽‍♀️lol 7y
Mimi28 @BookishMarginalia @WanderingBookaneer I feel bad for complaining about a little crime when you guys are in such bad conditions. I'm sorry ((((( hugs and positive vibes to you and your whole island and your cats))))))) 7y
OrangeMooseReads I know how you feel. I lived in the city for a while and am a former smoker. I wasn‘t allowed to smoke in the house, I had strange people come ask me for a cigarette and then sit down on the porch. Then I moved to the country and felt watched from the woods when I went out to smoke. I wish we could be instantly comfortable in our surroundings. 7y
Mimi28 @OrangeMooseReads That happens here too! All the time! That's creepy about feeling that you were watched from the woods. Congrats on not smoking anymore! 👍😊❤️🎈🎊🍰📚 7y

Better yet, ice cream WITH the aliens!! 👽👻🤖🎃I just saw something I posted on Instagram about having my windows open in February. FEBRUARY!! Eight months with this 💩already!! I can't wait until winter, let alone a 50 degree day in OCTOBER!! Sorry for the swears and caps, lol. I will continue this rant in my journal in all red caps like my therapist suggested 😂#sorrynotsorry 🤷🏽‍♀️my next post will be book related, I promise 😉👍❤️❤️❤️you all

Mimi28 Wait, it's still September!!! Sorry my mind is already on next week. Still- there is only one week left in September with this heat already. Good grief.,, 7y
jfalkens I want the cool crispy fall weather too! I don't really like 90 in summer let alone in fall 😫 7y
Mimi28 @jfalkens I want to be shoveling snow off the ground ( or at least looking at how pretty it is and having someone else shovel it) not still buying snow CONES in September. It's frustrating 🙄 7y
See All 13 Comments
Mimi28 @jfalkens okay maybe not snow in September, lol, but at least light sweater/ scarf weather though 😊 7y
Mimi28 I'm sorry everyone, but my brain feels like it's frying. I should be a lot more grateful compared to what other areas affected by the hurricanes are going through 🙏😅 7y
jfalkens @Mimi28 I'd enjoy sweatshirt, jeans and warm pajamas, fuzzy socks and warm blankets. Snow I can definitely wait for 7y
Mimi28 @jfalkens I guess I just want the extreme opposite of this which would be a snow storm. A good cold windy one, lol. Sorry, I'm in Chicago, I love a good snow storm. I can't wait. I sound goofy I know, but I don't drive, maybe that's why. Sorry, lol 7y
jfalkens @Mimi28 I live in Michigan so I can usually wait for winter but this heat has me rethinking. Maybe a light snowfall wouldn't be too bad. I wouldn't want too much snow, I don't drive, but my husband has to drive 15mins one way to work and unfortunately he gets out late so the plows haven't always been by yet 🙁 7y
mariaku21 @Mimi28 I've been meaning to ask is that a special weather app? I love the comments it provides! 7y
Mimi28 @mariaku21 Yes! It is called WTForecast you can find it in the App Store. It's free!!! 😊😊👍👍 7y
Mimi28 @jfalkens Sorry to hear about your husband and the plowing situation. I guess it's the same thing when walking and people haven't shoveled their sidewalks. Then sometimes it turns to ice and that's dangerous. I hope the heat lets up soon though. Maybe just a little snow like you said 😊 7y
mariaku21 @Mimi28 thanks!! I'll have to find it now 7y
Mimi28 @mariaku21 no problem! It's a really fun app but if it gets to be a bit much you can adjust the profanity setting. 7y

"Vainglorious"? I didn't realize that was a word. It was already in the phone when I started typing it so...?You learn something new every day, lol ? It's about 4:15am and this is usually about the time I feed the cats and close my room door to try to rest, but my room is the coolest room in the house and I can't sleep anyway.

Too bad I am broke and in a not so safe area and I went to the library yesterday because the neighbors are driving me nuttier today. They are either banging on something or playing loud music with the kind of deep bass than penetrates your brain or their kids are screaming. My concentration is shot. I am going to put my ear plugs in and try to take a nap. Extroverts-- smh, lol ( kinda) ❤️❤️❤️❤️you guys. Hope you all are having a great day 📚📚📚🌞

I either have to get a dr to say I am "permanently disabled" and possibly get my loans forgiven or start working and hope I don't have another breakdown. Or just stay on disability with little money but decent health care ( unless Trump gets his way ?) so I'm kinda stuck- Again. Thanks for the encouragement!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y

That's why we are picking today to go to the laundromat. It's a 12 block round trip walk, and my mom has a bad back. Our landlord's washer is broken now though she wasn't letting us use it anyway...definitely taking Hyperbole and a Half with me!! ❤️❤️📚📚

😂😂I'm so bored. It's time to read 📚📚📚 Or go to the library...

MicheleinPhilly I *wish* it was 59! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 7y
Mimi28 @MicheleinPhilly I know!! If I went out today I wouldn't look totally insane wearing a jacket! I'm flat broke and the library didn't have any holds so I stayed inside. What's the weather there? 7y

Yes!!! Go Mother Nature!! I figured out why my eyes are burning. The neighbors smoking " something" cigs and who knows what else and it's coming through my window. This would be the perfect time to read but my eyes are literally burning. Come on rain and thunderstorms!!! ????⛈⛈??

Mimi28 When I got my eyes examined the dr said I have dry eyes. Now I guess I HAVE to buy Visene (did I spell that right?) That's $4 I could be spending on shipping for a book from Amazon. 😂😂🙄🙄 7y

Ok, now it's being psychic. I was reading my anxiety for yoga book and decided to take a break and go get ice cream and watermelon- fun. Then my landlord asked me to do her lottery and get her groceries which ramped my anxiety back up 1000 points. She is not letting us use her washing machine again also. But now I'm back home and I am going to start reading again. Thanks for the support guys!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️📚📚📚

Robothugs Mine told me not to be a "fuckleneck" and stay inside. ? 7y
Mimi28 @Robothugs 😂😂I honestly just play with the profanity settings every time I check it until I get one I like, lol what I post on here usually never the first one, but hey, it's how I get my kicks 🤷🏽‍♀️ lol better than what I used to do... 7y
Mimi28 Oooopppsss I just realized I didn't blur out the first F* word. I'm sorry 7y
Robothugs Hey, curse words are even in YA adult books. I would hope everyone on here could handle them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I usually play around with it, too... it's extremely amusing 👍🏻 7y

I did go outside today, just to stock up on paper plates and plastic utensils because I am sick of washing out the cats' bowls and washing dishes in general. I now have 2 overdue library books that I am too exhausted from the heat to read. I have lost 4 pounds in sweat over the last 2 days. Plus recent celebrity deaths are quite depressing. Reading slump in full effect. Using tomorrow as a ME day. I wish I could just hibernate in the summer ❤️❤️😴

I don't base my self- worth on whether or not you like me- sun! 😂Today has been a good day so far. I got the library issue straight. The system just had not noted that my card had been renewed. The cool librarian was there. I am so thankful 🙏And, since I can't find a place with pre- approved credit that sells books ( besides coloring books) I am getting a package of cute long sleeve stuff that I can wear now from kjordan.com Very cute stuff!! ❤️

I agree. Mother Nature is always moody here in Chicago though. Feeling like I had an allergic reaction to something I am itchy with rashes and I have a dull headache. I hope calamine lotion works. It was one of the few things in our medicine cabinet that isn't expired. I took one Benadryl and I may have to take another one soon. I can hear the bugs making noises out there. Are there any Cicadas this year? That mess always freaks me out. Want snow

LauraJ Yes, snow sounds good right now. Did the Benadryl help? 7y
Mimi28 @LauraJ Yes, I am resting comfortably now. Thanks!! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
monkeygirlsmama Sorry you weren't feeling great, but happy the meds worked. 7y
Mimi28 @monkeygirlsmama Thanks!! Me too. ❤️❤️❤️❤️We're finally getting substantial rain now so hopefully the weather will be cooler. Those 2 minute sprinkle showers we were getting here and there weren't doing anything, lol 7y

No Thanks. I actually considered going to the Taste of Chicago this year because one of my favorite musicians Alessia Cara was there. But- naw, too many people. And I bet the acoustics were bad. And I like turkey but hate turkey bacon. Sorry to vent on here so much lately but the only IRL friend that I used to go out with ran away out of state to live with her long distance boyfriend. She'd bribe me by saying we could go to a bookstore 😂😔🙄📚❤️

Mimi28 My next post will be book related. I promise ❤️❤️😉😉👍👍 7y
Megabooks I've actually been to taste of Chicago! It was 12 years ago. I hate crowds, but I had a good time! 7y

AlaMich I haven't been to the Taste in at least a decade. It's always hot, nowhere to sit, bazillions of people...😖 7y
Zelma I used to love the Taste, but the key for me was setting up toward the back of the main stage field, near the beer tent. Solely for the space; I usually brought a small cooler. Not great sound but good enough to listen. And we would take turns running in for food. I hated the crowds, but put up with it for the joy of festivals in the city. 7y
readinginthedark I love renaissance fairs. But I've never been to a crazy-packed one. Those turkey legs are amazing, and I usually have some pretty fascinating chats with random vendors when there's no line at their booths. But I guess I only go when my family's in town for something like that... 7y
Mimi28 @Booksandcooks I'm glad you had a good time! ❤️❤️The food tickets are so expensive!! It is really cool though 😎😎 7y
Mimi28 @Bklover Thanks!! ❤️❤️❤️You guys are great!! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
Mimi28 @AlaMich I agree. Literally bazillions!! My social anxiety can't take it. I think I have only been once or twice and I was a tag-a-long with my friends who were just there to pick up guys, lol ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
Mimi28 @Zelma That's good. I'm glad you had a plan 👍👍That's the way to go. I need to get out to city festivals more 😊 7y
Mimi28 @readinginthedark I wouldn't mind a turkey leg either. I need to get out more. I don't really have anyone to go with. 7y

This reminds of what a teacher said to me Sophomore Year of high school. We had to do an oral report, and she knew how terrified I was to talk ( undiagnosed social anxiety disorder and other issues) so she said to me- Maybe YOU can do a mime act. It was so insulting. I can't even remember what I did for the project I just remember what she said. It still bugs me now when people try to push shy kids into acting. My main outlets- writing, reading ❤️

ContraryMary As if doing a mime act would have helped *rolls eyes* I used to cry when we had to do presentations, I had the best teacher in grade ten though and he let me pick a couple of friends and present to just him and them at lunch hour! 7y
Mimi28 @ContraryMary That's awesome!! This was in 1992 when teachers weren't really in tune to mental illness unless the student acted out. We had to do a seminar almost every week and I would get an A on the paper but an F or D in the seminar because I was terrified. I didn't have any friends, and the ones I did have were ok with me not talking. I wish I had your teacher!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️It's good to know there are some decent ones out there ❤️❤️👍👍 7y

And it feels like 94!! I heard it's supposed to rain later but that can't come soon enough. It's even too hot for ME to go to the library. I can't wait until the yoga book I have on order at the library comes in. I feel like I need some exercise. Sorry to complain, but I hate being confined. Been watching Family Guy all day I wish I could hop in Stewie's time machine to winter again.

That sounds sticky. Today has been a good day though. I'm honestly starting to think and hoping all those kids screaming last weekend was some sort of court- ordered visitation, or maybe someone's grandchildren that visit every once in a while. It's really only been noisy one other day this week. Thank God! I was really anxious about it being every day especially since school is out. I went out for some much needed watermelon and ice cream then 😴

Mimi28 I would have a nervous breakdown for sure if it was every day. 7y

@MicheleinPhilly THIS is a boring one. I turned my profanity settings to "some" just because I was sick of the F- word being in almost all of them. They still say friggin' a lot though ?
