Welcome to Litsy!

Just one of those days. Can't get out of my own head.

I want to say... I am so sorry! Everyone has been so kind; I received many cards and lovely gifts. I am so overwhelmed with everything that I am so behind in everything/anything this month. Since my COVID (during Thanksgiving), I have had such fatigue that I am disorganized and have horrible focus problems. I am so, so sorry. I spend much of my free time “trying“ to read and maybe just zoning out. Thanks for understanding.

AMY!!!!! I am absolutely overwhelmed at my birthday box!!! You spoiled me BIG!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I‘m in book lover heaven ❤️💛🧡💚💙💜 Your friendship is my most valued gift of all 🤗😘

I‘m just feeling overwhelmed this #canadaday. Feeling emotionally exhausted today. Between the finding of indigenous remains at a number of former residential school sites and the burning of Lytton, BC, I have just run out of emotional capital. The police protests of last summer and the pandemic of the past 18 months hasn‘t helped either.

Oh my goodness, @hermyknee ! I love everything! Your generosity has me just overwhelmed. The books look fantastic, and all the goodies made me squee a bit. (I will have to hide the stocking from my B&tB-obsessed friend this weekend or it might wander off) And the mug! One of my favorite sayings. You really are the best, Liz. Thank you so much.

Happy Niklaustag, everyone!

**EDIT: I'm a total moron & didn't realize one was digital and I could have been reading it in the car... 😖😖😖

AAAARGH!!!! Not only are we on a road trip but now both of my audiobook holds have come in!!!! When it rains, it pours!!!!

#JB crew, having been overwhelmed by what I think was the flu and being sick all week, I didn't post any of my #jb mail! Here it all is carpal tunnel awaits as I plan to spend the heatwave eating Popsicles and writing letters. Thank you so much

Well I am properly attired because I took this photo when out.This is for all the Littens that might be feeling this way today.😁

I just joined several reading challenges for 2018!! So many books and never enough time! Must get organized now. #BOTMbuddyread

I have 10 books checked out on Overdrive and a First to Read book to read by the first of the year. Oops.

I️ got about halfway through this book and just couldn‘t keep going. I️ had hoped it would provide me with insights or thoughts about ways to feel less overwhelmed, and maybe the end of the book does, and I️ just never got there. Instead I️ left the book feeling more overwhelmed. So not the book for me, but someone else might find the info really interesting.

Oh boy! I‘m not sure about reading this book in the week between thanksgiving and Hanukah.

I was JUST thinking "I should return all of my library books and focus on the books I own." And then I looked at Overdrive and these were all available. ?I have no willpower. I am weak.

I'm still alive. It's just been crazy. My dog has a bad cervical disc + my cat has lymphoma, so most of my non-work time has been spent at the vet. Had a 17 y/o foster cat (who just got a furever home). Been working to get the neighborhood strays spayed/neutered/vaccinated. This is doable, until friends drop a bunch of time consuming crap on me without giving me the option to say no! So, east coast #summersecretsanta, you haven't been forgotten!

I really enjoyed this (rang horribly true). There are some helpful tips i will consider and lots of highlighted passages to wave at my husband!

i was already aware of the Danish angle as I've read The year of living Danishly by Helen Russell.
If it was lacking at all, it was in that a lot of the consideration was for office workers & middle classes. V little mention of other jobs where solutions are more complex. Still a winner tho'.
