Welcome to Litsy!

1. My former stepmom took me and my former stepsister to the library. We checked out some books and took them home. We returned our books to the library but we never went back to check out more. I‘m glad they‘re gone. My stepsister was mean to me because she didn‘t understand me.

2. I get most of my books as ARCs or I order them online.

3. I just started Dark Ride by P.G. Kassel. It‘s set at an eerie amusement park.

1. Getting my first library card when I was 5 or 6 yrs.

2. The library book store and semi-annual book sale, thrift stores, and little free libraries.

3. A Line of Grace for the #BookedInTime reading challenge

#WondrousWednesday

1. My house, my family, my dog

2. I‘m hopeful that one day, there will be peace on earth. One time in high school, I wore a peace sign necklace because I like peace signs and what they represent and a guy in my class said to me,”You like peace?” And I said,”Yeah.” And he said to me,”There is no peace.” I stopped wearing my peace sign necklace after that. I know there‘s no peace but I never stopped believing in peace.

I‘m sharing a story about the hand tremor I‘ve had my whole life and that I bought some weighed hand gloves to help reduce the tremor.

Here‘s my answers for #wondrouswednesday. I wanted to tell a story about my grandparents but I wouldn‘t have had room on here if I didn‘t put it in a word document. My grandpa passed away in 2013. My grandma passed away in 2021 and my uncle passed away in 2017. Eventually, my grandma wasn‘t able to do the things she enjoyed and we had to put her in Assisted Living and she was diagnosed with Dementia. It was depressing seeing her like that.

1. More sleep. When I have to get up early the next day for an appointment or something that I have to do the next day, I stay up all night.
2. TikTok. I made my book account on there private because people posted mean comments on my book reviews.
3. Taking my dog for walks every day to a neighborhood park by myself. It only takes 9 mins to get there and get back home. I never used to exercise.

I did object writing recently in this journal I have with writing exercises in it. I struggled with this because I had to write just using the seven human senses: Sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, organic (body), and kinesthetic (motion). I wrote about the night that my ex boyfriend broke up with me in 2013 and I filled up the 2 pages that are included. Maybe I should try free verse poetry instead.

2. I don‘t know if I‘m going to love it or not because I thought World History and Social Studies was boring when I was in school and I never retained the information but I‘m going to start a book next about Charles Sumner who was a civil rights hero in American History. I don‘t know if we learned about him in school or not.

3. Danielle Steel. I like her writing.

I had my appointment yesterday at the IDD services office. I had to answer a lot of questions and take an IQ test. I have Autism which falls under the IDD spectrum. They told me that I qualify for services. After the IQ test, I was told that I‘m Borderline meaning that I don‘t have an intellectual disability but I also don‘t have the standard IQ of a person without Autism. That test was really hard but I tried my best.

5. I usually drink coffee when I start my day but when I‘m eating a meal, I‘ll either drink iced tea, water or a Coke. If I do drink tea though, I like sweet iced tea with lemon. If I make hot tea then I add ice, stevia and lemon to it because I don‘t like it hot.
6. Digital books
7. Audiobooks

Today, my mom and I took our dog to the vet to get her dog bite looked at because she was attacked by a dog in the neighborhood when her and I were walking home from the dog park on Friday afternoon. I didn‘t expect it. I was crying when I got home. I was very upset. The vet looked at her dog bite and he said that the bite doesn‘t look that bad and that it will heal just fine. My dog is lucky. It could‘ve been worse.

Photo 1 - A picture I colored recently
Photos 2 & 3 - After I took my dog for a walk yesterday, I was playing 4 chords on acoustic guitar on the Garage Band app. I liked the sound of them together when I was singing them so I came up with these lyrics. This is the first verse to a song I‘m writing about my ex boyfriend. This is my first song. I might rewrite the first verse but I had fun writing it.

On Sunday, March 3, my mom and I took our dog to a 320 acre park. It offers a lot of things for everyone to do. The dog park had its own area and it was fenced in. I enjoyed going there. There were a lot of people there with their dogs but it never felt crowded because it‘s a nice big dog park. My dog was so anxious when she was there because all the dogs wanted to be friends with her. She‘s friendly but she‘s an anxious dog.

Today is Thursday, but better late than never, I suppose. We are in the mountains this week, and the weather has been foggy/misty/rainy every day. Perfect cozy reading weather! 😀📚📚📚

I‘ve been taking my dog for a walk every day to the dog park in my neighborhood. I‘ve been dealing with blisters on my feet since I started going but my blisters are healing and I bought some new walking shoes that fit me better and give me support because I have flat feet. I‘m still getting used to the new shoes but my feet feel better when I wear them. I like taking my dog for walks and she likes going too.

#whatsnewwednesday

1. The air after it has rained. I don‘t know why.

2. Freshly cut grass after it‘s been mowed. I don‘t know why.

3. Trees. I included a picture of the dog park in my neighborhood. I like the way the trees smell in the dog park on a windy day. Today was a windy day when I took my dog to the dog park and when the wind was blowing through the trees in there, the air smelled really good. The weather was perfect today.

#whatsnewwednesday my youngest who takes photography at Uni has a new show opening tomorrow night and I‘m excited to go and see it next weekend. Our Spring Break is the next week so we can stay over in Toronto and try some new to us restaurants too. Thx @dabbe for tagging me ❤️

1. Oh, gosh, there are so many!! If no one is watching, I‘ll get down to just about anything from disco hits to 70s and 80‘s rock. I guess faves are Boogie Wonderland by Earth Wind & Fire, Footloose, and anything BeeGees, Patti LaBelle, or ELO. 😁
2. Paris, London, Rome . . . I‘d live in any of these places without hesitation!
3. Pjs, a hot cup of coffee, a soft blanket, and my book! ❤️
#WondrousWednesday

1. Sometimes I pick a lot of overly complicated books and my brain gets tired, so I have to read something simple fun or trashy lol.
2. Ken Follett, Harlan Ellison, Daniel Handler
3. Lisa See, Margaret Atwood, Ai Yazawa
