I miss having bookshelves with tons of books thereon. I used to have a wall of books when I was younger. I was one of those nerds with fourteen subscriptions to the scifi bookclub. I can still smell a fresh delivery of those trade-sized hardcovers that gave me so much delight. I’ve convinced myself that I cannot read real books anymore because my eyes are so old and tired. But with my 3X cheaters, I could probably read a newspaper on the surface of the moon. Maybe I’ll start hoarding books and make it a home improvement project to install some fancy shelves in my living room. I bet Ikea has some great resources for this.

Fixin to go outside today!

Did you throw away everything your pantry this morning? Me neither.

After we got back into town, Mr. K and I took Mother to lunch. It was a gorgeous day. When I got back home, I did a few loads of laundry, treadmill, and read. I’m now into season two of 12 Monkeys on the treadmill tele. It’s a fun ride. Soon, I’ll be walking outside again – yay! – which will render my tv time close to zero. Who has time?

When I lunged and immediately threw this in the cart, Mother said, “There’s something wrong with you!”

Current mood

Why are the algos stalking me?

Hello?

New t-shirt who dis?

What a charming event! We took a road trip to see the GenX Takeover Show. We got the tickets for free and had no idea who was performing. I didn’t realize that it was famous people from TikTok until we actually sat down and saw the pre-show slideshow. Wow! A lot of the people who make me giggle daily were up on stage, and we had second row seats. Lots of giggles and I hardly stopped smiling. The performers were all unpolished – with notecards! – and kinda shocked to discover themselves suddenly famous and touring the country doing shows. Their unpolished and kinda nervous nature made it even more cute and engaging. Funniest line? Kelly Manno describing putting on eyeliner in middle age like decorating a ballsack. I cackled! Highly recommended if it’s coming near you. I think they are headed your way next, Chicago peeps.

I had to buy a t-shirt!!! I’m fangirling hard!

We’re young and fun!

I don’t want my new micro e-reader to get hurt in the travel bag, so I shoved it in a sock. As one does.

I’m wearing a hoodie outside!

Road Trip Fantasy

We are off on a road trip adventure today. We got free tickets to a comedy event panel thingy. It should be fun!

Have you steamed your eggs today?

Made me cackle!

I feel like paper magazines are gonna make a comeback soon. And I’m here for it!

Forever mood

Cut to me finding and correcting mistakes that were made five years ago. The good news is that now that I’ve discovered the issue, I have added a step to my quarterly checklist to make sure it never goes unnoticed again. I get things done!

Gonna need a new index card for “check back of ears for hair!” I discovered one today that was like four inches long. I could have hung a bead from it. I’m sure it was flapping in the breeze at my interview also. WTH?

I decided to make the bee design my screen saver also. I’m very busy today!

I’m bringing sexy back
