Welcome to Litsy!

Its‘s been a day… had an IEP meeting for my Autistic child transitioning to HS. It‘s been a week, it‘s been a month…2024 has been a dumpster fire so far. I found out the other day I didn‘t get into the PhD program I applied to. My husband will find out next week if he is one of the people that is going to be let go while his company restructuring (pharmaceuticals is a mess right now & no one is hiring). Plus a million other things, fun times

Just started this hillarious book!

adulting

Life has taught me that it's okay to stand up for yourself and put them haters back in their place. It's also okay to talk ghetto sometimes.

I'm finally going to become a wedding planner for pets. Yes, it's a thing. Don't google it.

I'm all too familiar with this feeling.

Taking life one day at a time.

Eventually everyone but Peter Pan grows up.

So too will the Birth and Beyond Reading Challenge.

1. I do what I want. Within reason. I can have cake for breakfast but I can't kill anyone....well, I could but I'm an adult so there are consequences. It's all about balance
2. All adult chores

4. Health Receptionist
5. Pay your bills on time and monitor your credit score

This book was great. I‘d heard of Arden Rose from other YouTubers but never saw any of her videos. Arden gave a realistic view on life but also made it funny. I would read It again and recommend it to anyone willing to read it.

I think I may have found something to check out in the @EpicReads lookbook!

So that self care tip does that include a face mask, bath bomb, glass of wine and chocolate? Because I'm totally doing that tonight.

Well it was a short read, so that was one reason I decided to finish it. It just didn‘t click with me, and I don‘t feel like I‘ve really learned anything by reading this. It has a cute cover, but I just felt dissatisfied with this.

This should be a quick and easy read.

Repping one of my favorite sock pairs today, second only to my banned books pair!#AdultInTraining 📚😍. Chronic Illness doesn‘t disappear on #Readathon day (although it‘d be sweet if it could!), but my new Quell unit is keeping my nervous system calm and happy today, so that‘s a Readathon win! 🙌🏼. What‘s your favorite book related clothing?!

I have to go be an adult this morning and get groceries before I can continue this. I‘d save it for later, but I‘m finally going to see Black Panther tonight! Yay! And if the weather is correct I can stay home while it snows tomorrow.

The in-laws have been in Mumbai for a week... tonight, they are in a hotel and yes, those are Lucky Charms and yes, this is dinner and nope, I feel not a skerrick of concert that I‘ve reverted to “teenager” for the night. I‘ve barricaded the doors, threatened Mr GaD with disemboweling if he disturbs me, have a book, a kitty and won‘t starve. If I get a decent nights sleep, I could be in paradise! 😂🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Was hoping to come home from clinic to a semi- easy evening. But nope 👎.......dog chewed up a bunch of legos, don‘t have a clue what to make for supper, big paper due Sunday, Birthday 🎂 party to plan, and to top it off ......a 7 year old with possible strep.
Adulting is hard. But on the positive side my BOTM came today 😁👍👏🏻

#friyayintro

1. There I am.
Feeling fluffy & sassy in Central Park. 🌳🍃🌹

2. Hum If You Don't Know the Words- I'll be recommending to everyone. It's was fabulous and enlightening. 😍

3. I'm going to vicariously participate in #24in48
while packing for LONDON BABY ✈️ and playing in my monthly ladies pool league 🎱

4. We've been in a heat wave in NYC & CT- sweating before making it to the car. 😓

5. White bean & spinach Alfredo linguini! 🍝

At the library. 😊 @miss.whovian

I've always enjoyed Arden's outlook on life and this was a nice little peak further into her thoughts. An enjoyable light read.
