Litsy

Just picked up this audio! Magic realism is my favorite genre typically. But man I've been sick off and on for almost a month and a half. (Send help). And I'm in such a bad reading slump. Do I want to listen to this... not really no. But I think I will love it so I'm forcing myself to at least start it while I cook dinner.

I also did not read the description of this book, too much focus required to read that. Lol wish me luck. 😷🤒😢

Jas16 Hope you feel better soon. 2d

Prairiegirl_reading It‘s really good but (CW) it‘s violent. I want you to know in case that‘s not something you want at this point in time. I hope you feel better soon!! 2d

LoverOfLearning @Prairiegirl_reading Good looking out for me! Thank you! I'll keep that in mind! :) 2d

LoverOfLearning @Jas16 Thank you! I have a ruptured eardrum (been 3 years) seeing the ENT tomorrow to book surgery #2.... yes 2. Ugh. So that constant ache and pain along with having the stomach flu a few weeks ago and now a sinus infection that won't go away I'm miserable. Can barely focus on anything. But it's a great start to the book at its keep my interest. 2d

Fun Friday: Do People Really Downsize? | Josh Lehner

1. Continuing my quest for the best French toast, pumpkin roll with cream cheese and spiced apples has pulled into the lead.
2. Today is hubbys big birthday and I ordered this watercolor of the place we met.
3. The Gorge on Apple TV is lots of fun.
4. Finished really tough jigsaw puzzle, as the pieces fit at odd angles and the colors were washed out.
5. Drove out to an old time chicken restaurant on the old Route 66.

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday #1. Happy Valentine‘s Day #2. Loving the ACOTAR Buddy read #3. Mona Lisa is coming along #4. I got ‘diet coke‘ nails - to quote myself - a French manicure with chrome base and red tips #5. Sometimes AI is god tier bonus #6. It‘s a long weekend with more snow forecasted and I just want to read and be a sloth

Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed | Maureen Callahan

pick

#2 of 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

tpixie This sounds amazing! I know of their hiding the mentally handicapped daughter(I‘m not certain of their correct word these days.) ( or did she get a lobotomy and became handicapped) , the Chappaquiddick bridge accident, & some younger generation Kennedy being accused of rape maybe back in the 1990s. It sounds like there‘s a lot more than that. 3w

DarkMina @tpixie She had some mental disability and the lobotomy made it worse, causing her to be at the level of a young child. Joe Kennedy locked her away in a facility away from the family so she wouldn‘t embarrass them. Yeah it goes into how all the men in that family treated women. (edited) 2w

tpixie @DarkMina yes! Thanks. I‘m going to have to read this. I told my sister about it and she‘s reading it now. 2w

DarkMina @tpixie You‘re welcome! 2d

#5JoysFriday @debinhawaii (thanks for the tag and for reminding us of joy! 😘)

1. Even though Phoenix has now broken even more records for heat this week (we've been in the 80s F when we should be in the high 60s), I have not lost my cool ... yet.
2. The monologues of Colbert, Kimmel, and Meyers have been helping me to cope with our fucked-up country.
3. Matt. #always
4. Pippa #always
5. Kate #always
All are welcome to share their joys. 🩶🩷🩶

TheBookHippie We‘re warmer too. Although that means 20Fs (edited) 3w

dabbe @bookandbedandtea Lordy be, me neither. 😭🔥😭 3w

LiseWorks I could always try to mail you some snow ❄️. Before the tariffs kick in in March 🤣 3w

Aims42 I never really watched Seth Meyers before, but he‘s a new favorite for me because of 🍑🤡. I re-watch his episodes the following day 👍 3w

AmyG @bookandbedandtea I thought the same thing. While 70 is nice….NOT in Feb. (edited) 3w

willaful I can't watch political comedians anymore. :-( The closest I get is Josh Johnson, because he's so mellow.
3w

bookandbedandtea @AmyG Exactly! I LOVE 70° but it feels wrong in winter. 3w

DogMomIrene Yikes on those temps! Stay cool 😎 3w

dabbe @LiseWorks Are you tariff-taunting me? 😂🤩😘 3w

dabbe @Aims42 I do the same with all three. That's basically how I get my news, and they all give me the words to laugh about it--if I can. 😅 3w

dabbe @AmyG IKR? 🥴 3w

dabbe @willaful I completely understand. I might be heading in that direction, too, if things continue to go down the sewer. 🤯 3w

dabbe @DogMomIrene Thank the engineer gods for air conditioning. 😂 3w

Aims42 @dabbe Haha, exactly! 😆😭 3w

mcctrish I have been enjoying the political satire, it‘s reassuring on so many levels. I am sick of winter though 🥶 3w

Lesliereadsalot 80s sounds good to me as it‘s 20s here and my son says it‘s snowing in Seattle (nobody ventures out in the snow there!) 3w

Suet624 Yes, all three are a must for me to watch. 3w

kspenmoll Political satire essential!!!!! 3w

dabbe @mcctrish I'd trade you for, say 24 hours. 😂🤩🤗 3w

dabbe @Lesliereadsalot I would where you are, too! Say 24-48 hours? 🤩😂🤗 3w

dabbe @Suet624 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 3w

dabbe @kspenmoll #amensista! ❣️👊🏻❣️ 3w

mcctrish @dabbe I might want a bit longer 😉 3w

DogMomIrene @dabbe Yep! After living in Tucson for years, when we moved to PEI the house we bought had no AC. We put in heat pumps last spring. Their cooling feature works well, especially with the humidity here. Thanking the engineer gods for sure! 3w

TheLudicReader #2, right? You gotta laugh because the alternative is unbearable. 3w

dabbe @DogMomIrene Wowza! What a switch in weather that must have been! Someday I'd love to visit eastern Canada. A girl can dream! 🩶🩷🩶 3w

dabbe @TheLudicReader I've heard it said that humor comes from the darkest of places. Now I truly know why. 🤯😮‍💨😂 3w

dabbe @TheLudicReader BTW, I ADORE your new photo! 🩶🩷🩶 3w

TheLudicReader @dabbe, I got your Christmas card today. (Very weird to get mail on a Saturday, but there wasn‘t a single piece of mail all week) Did you ever get my card/letter/little gift? I sent it Dec 21. 3w

dabbe @TheLudicReader No, I didn't. 😟 Does it show on your end that it was delivered? 3w

TheLudicReader @dabbe…it was just in an envelope. Hopefully it will show up. Things are moving slowly through the system. The gift is whatever…but I wrote a l-o-n-g-a-s-s letter, too. 😭 2w

dabbe @TheLudicReader I sent my card in mid-December, so I will not give up hope! It's all I've got these days. 🤗 2w
