Really tough week emotionally. It's nice to think back about the small joys. 💙
1. My friend's two kittens being funny and cute
2. My own sweet cat
3. My meditation circle resumed after three weeks off for holidays+blizzard
4. My friend gave me a self care card deck
5. Sauna time

@DebinHawaii It's always wonderful to get a package from you! You're so thoughtful and send beautiful and fun things. I was actually eyeing these notebooks at the bookstore a couple of days ago! Many thanks and best wishes to you for a happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🤎🧡
Have not been a great reader the past week... Busy+not feeling well = Netflix binge. I really enjoyed this adaptation.

Charlie and I are snuggling on the couch and listening to Jamaica Inn. Drinking lemon ginger tea. Mentally resting before a busy week starts. 🍵#purr

Visited this museum with my parents in June; we loved it! Photo is from their Instagram from a new exhibit, "Power of the People: Art and Democracy."
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
1. Visited the Dia de los Muertos altar at the museum. I left a note and a flower for my friend's son, who died two years ago today. 💜
2. Exercised three days this week.
3. Drinks and apps with friends last night was a needed comfort in these difficult days.
4. I got a raise and a bonus.
5. Long phone call with Mom.

Brianna from the Outlander series is one of my favorites. There is a dearth of fan art that is not based on the tv actress. This is by Mograinne on DeviantArt.

This is shocking https://lithub.com/have-you-purchased-a-weirdly-low-quality-paperback-book-latel...
I'm pretty sure the only print on demand I've acquired recently was an out-of-print book. The idea of this becoming routine with new books from traditional publishers is troubling.
My office is doing a book drive for kids. These are the middle grade titles I chose from their wish list. They all look so good!
