Litsy

Dam Nation: How Water Shaped the West and Will Determine Its Future | Stephen Grace

After laundry, we went to the beach and built a sand compound. It was mostly a nice day. The beaches in our city are not popular with the rest of SoCal. They like LA & OC. There aren‘t a big crowds here. Of course, that‘s probably because of parking. It doesn‘t exist here. In fact, I got a notice on my car that I was parked illegally. 😬

Death of the Author: A Novel | Nnedi Okorafor

My #Chatterday Saturday vibe is slow. I was slow getting up this morning, went to a 20% bring your own bag sale at the craft store & I‘m now at the coffee shop trying to finish up my very late cards for #SummerCardSwap & finish the tagged book for #CampLitsy before running errands.

Sace I hope you‘re having a good morning! Thank you for these Chatterday posts. I don‘t participate much but I enjoy reading the chatter. 1d

AllDebooks Hi, thank you. I do enjoy them. What are your plans for the weekend? 😀 1d

AllDebooks I'm trying to find a plumber. It's 30°C here, and we have no water due to a stuck bath tap. Not how planned to spend today, but here we are. 🥵 1d

ElizaMarie Good morning. I woke up at 2 AM, stayed up for a few hours, did some homework, took a nap, and am now up again, finishing homework and drinking some coffee. Hope to get to a muesum today. 1d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks ugh good luck. That sounds like a pain. Chores for me today- bringing my son to get his passport then bringing my daughter to get shoes. We‘ll see which is more painful. Tonight a neighbor has invited us on his boat to see fireworks. I‘m sort of looking forward to that but also feeling drained. Husband really wants to go though so I‘ll make the effort. Tomorrow is mine. 1d

Bookwormjillk @ElizaMarie have fun at the museum! 1d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks good morning!!! I too am waiting on a plumber… bathroom sink… second time this summer.. was for leaking toilet earlier this month🤦🏻‍♀️ good luck to you!!!! Ugh.. 1d

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk tomorrow is yours !!! 1d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie Nice, what museum? 1d

Cuilin @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks water issues all around. A Maine burst in the city we‘re on a “boil your water warning” until further notice. 😑 1d

Cuilin I‘m going to try the gym. First time in two years. 🤞 1d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 1d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin yay for the gym!!!!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 1d

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie ENJOY YOUR DAY! 1d

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk @Cullin @TheBookHippie - Springfield MA Art Museum - Wanted to see the exhibits “Witch Panic! Massachusetts Before Salem“ and “Yokai: Japanese Ghosts, Demons and Monsters“ (edited) 1d

ElizaMarie @AllDebooks I didn't work the last few days at my full-time job, but.. All the staff were struggling; there was some sort of water break in the ER, and we were on diversion. And I was told it was horrendous! No regular bathroom use for 48hrs (they had to use the disposable liner toilets and all! 1d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin Great!!! Super proud of you!!! Let us know how it goes! 1d

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie sounds amazing. I love art museums. 1d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie the “boil water advisory” is still in effect for the whole city today. The second water test results should be known late this afternoon. 😩 I can‘t imagine what it‘s like at the hospital. 1d

quietlycuriouskate Wimbledon, innit? I'm not good for much today: it's too damn hot and I've been up since 5 o'clock after a restless night. 1d

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie oh I love a good museum or gallery visit. Enjoy. X 1d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk a boat trip with fireworks does sound fun. I hope you enjoy it. X 1d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie that sounds awful. I hope you didn't have to wait too long. We're all sorted now, thankfully. 1d

AllDebooks @Cuilin that's no fun. I hope it is sorted quickly. Well done for tackling the gym. How has your daughter settled into Ireland? Are you coping ok? X 1d

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie OMG, that exhibition sounds AMAZING! 🖤🧙‍♀️👻😈👾🖤 1d

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie Yikes, that is bad news! 1d

AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate I can't imagine playing tennis in this heat!! It's hot enough just watching Wimbledon on tv. Why is there such a focus on celebrity spotting this year? It's completely OTT. 1d

TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate I‘ve been watching off and on. 1d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks waaaaay to much look who is here going on 1d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks still waiting … of course we need a new specific piece for a pipe… just a laugh riot… 1d

DebinHawaii Got a bit of a late start today. Missing some sleep so I slept in then went to the “bring your bag & get 20%” sale at my local craft chain. Now I‘m hanging at the coffee shop working on getting cards out & trying to finish up the book for #CampLitsy. Hope all the plumbing issues get fixed & everyone has a good day & weekend.💛 1d

AllDebooks Don't take it personally. It's good you have a positive outcome. Good luck with the new ARC providers. X 2w

AnnCrystal That's the way to view their rejection. It led you to discover two other reviewing opportunities 🥳📚💝. That's grand!

I'm glad you feed your neighborhood wildlife when you can, and it's also good that it's not all the time. They need a chance to exercise their wild talents and seek out wild food sources.

Finished two books this past week and am off to spending a good chunk of my day in Vancouver (depending on the weather, I will probably seek out some sun and a beach), as I have a book club meeting at a friends place in Vancouver. #chatterday #chatterday2025

#chatterday @AllDebooks

It‘s dangerously hot in WI so I took a walk early then we‘ve mostly been inside, napping, reading, playing cards and up next - a movie. I sometimes enjoy a down low day.
