The End of November
The End of November: Growing Up with Domestic Violence | Nicole A. Sharpe
3 posts
I was reluctant to write about my tumultuous childhood as I witnessed many bouts of abuse exacted by my father upon my mother. After all, writing has always been a way for me to escape the reality of the abuse, not to run to it. Encouraged by friends over the years to write about my experiences, I began jotting down painful memories as they came to me in a blog that I penned, wardofthecourt.blogspot.com.

What I read in November…1 comic, and a bunch of parts of things I haven‘t finished. 😂.

Hopefully this month will be quieter, and a better reading month. 😉

vlwelser Um. What? Are you ok? 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser Right, not my normal at all! 😂 I was sick early in the month (sinus cold, so I took sinus decongestant and then feel asleep every time I laid down to read), then my nephew got sick so I got busy with him, then my cat passed away, then it was Thanksgiving time. 😂 I honestly don‘t know where the month went…. But I‘m hoping for a quieter and more reading conducive December. 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser Oh, and I forgot about the weekend the window decided to break so I spent all weekend getting that taken care of, and that my nephew got a new puppy! 2y

vlwelser If I read 1 comic in a month and no books, people would come looking to make sure I was still breathing. 2y
vlwelser I'm super sorry about your cat. 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser Yea…I need better friends 🤔😂. That should definitely qualify as a cry for help. 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser Me too, I had 6 cats, 4 older 12yrs & up in age. This was the third one to pass away this year. It‘s just been a bit much. This month it was Tux, he was almost 13, and was diagnosed diabetic earlier this year, insulin injections & everything. So I know he‘s at peace now and not suffering, but it‘s still tough…my cat population halved in 1 year. I knew they were all getting up there, but I still didn‘t expect them to go in a group. ⤵️ 2y
vlwelser The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is starting out really strong. So that's good news. Just ditch all these other things. November is over. Kidding. Terry Pratchett is the best. 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa But thank you so much for thinking of me & checking on me. 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser 😂 Nope, both the nonfictions I‘m over halfway finished so they are chugging along nicely. And I think this holiday season will need some Pratchett and fantasy reads too. (edited) 2y
vlwelser Of course. 2y
vlwelser Pratchett nearly always cheers me up. 2y
ravenlee I‘m so sorry you had such a rough month, and especially about your fur babies. I lost my two unexpectedly within three months of each other, and it devastated me. It took two years before I could get another. I hope December is kinder to you! 2y
azulaco Going Postal is my favorite Terry Pratchett book! 2y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ravenlee Thank you! I had it happen once before…many many years ago. Then it was a brother & sister that I had gotten together as kittens from the shelter (they were with me about 12 years, died a month apart in their sleep). I think they pine for each other too when they‘ve been together that long, like the stories you hear about old married couples, where one goes right after the other. (edited) 2y
tokorowilliamwallace Pratchett and Peters are good Sagittarius romps! 2y
ScientistSam I'm sorry you've had such a rough month! I saw you hadn't been reading much and wanted to check in. 2y

This has officially been my worst reading month. Between Thanksgiving and difficult issues at work arising, I haven't had much spare energy. All the books were on audio and all were excellent. Hopefully December will be an exceptional month for reading to make up for November!
