ā€Magic powers would be cool to have, but not at the price of having a psycho evil bitch fairy stuck in my headā€¯.

Headinherbooks_27 @BookwormAHN Good idea! I will look into that. Thx. 6y

Clwojick I will definitely admit to craving more chocolate since this challenge started. My brain keeps telling me to treat myself to dark chocolate after a good walk. 6y

HEY HEY HEY IS THERE ANYONE WHO DID NOT RECEIVE A #ThankfulForBooksSwap PACKAGE THAT I HAVE NOT TALKED TO RECENTLY (recently being Wednesday-today)????? Despite my best efforts I still haven‘t heard from some people, and I would like to make sure everyone gets a package that sent a package. Please let me know ASAP. It‘s stressing me out š‚

I need some book time by myself, and soon. Stress sucks, anxiety sucks, keeping a happy face sucks. Here are some pictures of wild turkeys in our yard.

Lreads I'm sorry things are rough. I had just settled down to read last night when something yucky popped up. š’™ 6y

callielafleur @QuietlyLaura Thanks ā¯¤ļø¸. I fell bad for complaining, but Litsy feels like a safe space to do so. 6y

Lreads Litsy is a great place to share! There are always such nice people here that really care and are interested. 6y

kamoorephoto Sorry you are feeling rough...I am having a terrible time too. Things are really bad at home. Been trying to work out what extra book to send @IheartYA to cheer her up, and am thinking you need one too... š’“ 6y

kamoorephoto ***Never feel bad for ā€complaining‘. You‘re venting. It‘s totally allowed. 6y

DGRachel {{hugs}} 6y

IheartYA Sometimes it helps to let it out. If you need a shoulder to vent, scream, curse, you have my email address. This year has sucked for us....anxiety, stress, depression... I found it helps to talk about it. I've tried reading self help books and I start them with good intentions, but usually don't finish them. I can recommend a couple good ones if you're interested. I hope you feel better soon and I'm sending positive vibes your way. š™‚ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ā¯¤ 6y

AmyG Life is hard for most of us, at different times. Know we‘re always here for the good times...and bad. I hope things become better for you soon. Same to you also @kamoorephoto @IheartYA 6y

callielafleur @kamoorephoto @IheartYA š¤—š¤— hugs to you both, I wish things were easier for everyone. 6y

callielafleur @AmyG Thanks for your kind words. This is such a wonderful community 6y

callielafleur @DGRachel Thanks. They're needed right now, and that's coming from someone who isn't much of a hugger. ā¯¤ļø¸ 6y

Andrew65 Sending positive thoughts! 6y

I could not cope with this. Anything where books are not in straight lines makes me feel a bit dizzy with concern.

What if my Preciouses fall?!?

Weaponxgirl I'm having palpitations thinking about how not every nook and cranny of that can be filled with books 6y

Susanita That‘s just...no. 6y

wanderinglynn Nope. 6y

TheKidUpstairs @Weaponxgirl that was my thought exactly! All the wasted space! 6y

Weaponxgirl @TheKidUpstairs yup, every place that can hold my books does so. I'm an excellent bookhider 6y

TheKidUpstairs @Weaponxgirl me too. My shelves are all double lined, with more books piled on top if they'll fit! 6y

Weaponxgirl @TheKidUpstairs yup, and books on top and book piles where they don't look too out of place. Thank god I finally got a kindle! 6y

SkeletonKey Omg. This makes me so uncomfortable but also, I think I love it and want it in my house. 6y

RebelReader It's cool,but I couldn't look at it everyday 6y

Lreads While this shelf isn‘t for me, I can see it used in an Alice in Wonderland themed room. 6y

readordierachel It's neat but my eyes can't focus on it, lol 6y

BiblioLitten Nerve wrecking! It's making me very uncomfortable š™‡ 6y

Was just stressing about a decision my family has to make next year and worked myself into a right lather. (About as strung out as this moose!) Coming here and reading all your lovely thoughtful posts has calmed me down considerably! Thanks so much for all your good hearts and the kindnesses you practice. š’•š’•š’•

I just finished the half-year scheduling meeting with my boss. Apparently I'm going to be on the road 10 of the first 20 weeks of 2018. Including most of the month leading up to my wedding in June. I'm so stressed out that I'm feeling nauseous.

Bookzombie I‘m sorry, but I‘m sure it will all work out. Hugs! 7y

Sorry I've been a bit absent, guys. This week has just been effing stressful!! I'm not a crier, at all, and I think I've cried at least once a day. I may just lose it, shave my head, & run away...

Bklover Don't shave your head!!!! Hope you Day is better tomorrow. Hugs to you!ā¯¤ļø¸ 7y

drokka Just do š¯ to everyone tomorrow. If you cross your eyes instead of squinting to shake it up might add to the mood. Oh and ice lollies/Popsicles are good to reduce stress (I know, sounds weird, but they tend to make people happy). 7y

So February is when the wheels came off. (I sense a theme - last year I got laid off and had a major renovation ongoing). I re-homed on of my three kitties (my beloved sucky boy) with my MIL because he just can't live with other cats and that has been really hard. And after much discussion my husband and I are on the cusp of a big life decision to move on from our house that we don't love. The ship is righting itself but it was rough going.

BookNAround Hoping March is less stressful for you. 8y

Eyelit Here's to calmer waters ahead! š’™ 8y

Reviewsbylola I'm glad things seem to be getting back to a good place. 8y

EloisaJames I hope April is much better! 8y

A glass of wine by the Christmas lights doesn't grade the seventy research papers I have on my lap, but it certainly makes me ready for break.

#twomoreweeks #teachersoflitsy #professorsoflitsy

kspenmoll Liking how you grade your papers! #teachersofLitsy I am having a glass myself as I reread some book chapters for class tomorrow! 8y
