I feel both seen and attacked.

need luck to find one.
And now I'm finally caught up on my two days I skipped!!

The Phantom of the Opera
was lonely for love
Christine was his muse.
Like some of you already know, I also love Phantom of the Opera (2004 starring Gerard Butler).

You've got mail: “Those are
powerful words,“ turning worst
enemies to friends.
Thanks to @JenlovesJT47 for inspiring me to make some movie haikus!
I love this movie.
The quote comes from when Joe (Tom Hanks) goes to visit a sick Kathleen (Meg Ryan).

Another hot 🥵 day in the Austin area 🔥
Two errands and a walk outside are my morning activities. The last 6 months have been a whirlwind and I want nothing more than to selfishly lose myself in a book 📖 !!

It is storming this morning. Thunderstorms scare my dogs so I have been comforting them with cuddles. I have tried thunder shirts to no avail. They are finally dying down and I can get on with things. My plans are to get a bit of housework done this morning. Lunch with my bestie, which will certainly involve alcohol. Afterward, I hope to have some time to myself later in the afternoon.

Today‘s Norway‘s National Day. We celebrate our constitution from 1814.
We celebrate with the children‘s parade, so this is seen as the kids day where they can eat all the ice cream and hot dogs that they like
So to any Norwegian in here: Happy Birthday
And I hope everyone has a great day
I forgot to participate in #threelistthursday last week so I‘m posting this on a Friday night. This week‘s list is books that were published in the 1800s. I‘m posting what I read and my thoughts about the books. My score for this is 7 of 100 - 7%.
Good news for Boots! She let the vet drawn her blood this time & her labs came back looking good. Her chronic kidney disease hadn‘t gotten significantly worse (some of her numbers have improved!) We still need to get her urine tested, but overall she is doing well. Can‘t believe she‘ll be 16 in July!

My husband drove me to the beach to read, because I still can‘t drive due to surgery. We sat above the beach and he fell asleep while I watched the waves and pelicans. I don‘t think either of us read a thing. 😂💛
#5JoysFriday @Debinhawaii (thanks for the tag! 😍)
1. Baseball games with Matt.
2. Sunlight on walls.
3. Matt's passport photo from the 90s. #hubbahubba
4. Pip's better after her mini-seizure.
5. Miss Kate, our worried Little G (Little General).
All are tagged to share their joys! Lord knows we need 'em these days! 🩶

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1) I was sitting at my desk the other day and noticed how many different colors of pens I had. Writing on paper with pretty ink still brings me joy 🦖
2) peas from the garden
3) suns up for my commute
4) clearance plants to fill in a few holes by the patio
5) brightening up the house with cut flowers
Hang in there everyone ❤️

I‘ve got to stop doing these. I consider myself well read - I certainly have read a lot in my lifetime, but these lists make me feel ignorant, or that I need to return my English Lit degree back to UCF. 😭😭
Anywho…love Les Mis, Fathers and Sons, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, and Little Women. Dostoyevsky on the other hand can go f*ck himself. 🤣🤣 #tlt #threelistthursday

I did worse than last week! 🤣 Here's hoping we all do better when we finally get into the 1900s! Three faves include, but are definitely not limited to:
1. TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES (fave read of all of 2023)
2. GREAT EXPECTATIONS: Fave Dickens.
3. THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES: fave book of ALL TIME. #sherlocked

I'm agnostic, but this is my favorite hymn. Written by Horatio Spafford, who had sent his wife and 4 daughters ahead to Europe on the SS Ville du Havre, while he finished some business in Chicago. All 4 daughters perished when the ship collided with the Loch Earn. As Spafford came across to join his wife, who survived, he wrote this song near the site where his 4 girls died. 😭

This mornings walk definitely tired them out! 🐶🐾🐶🐾❤️
I think I‘ve got my stack set for #14books14weeks I did about half fiction & half nonfiction since I primarily read NF. I feel like these are the ones I really want to read & get through this summer. Looking forward to slower days & hopefully more reading.
It's cloudy today
I wish the sky would make up
its mind. Rain or shine?
Thunder or sunbathing. Just not clouds. 😂

Two words: cellar door.
Beautiful purely in their
sounds ... without meaning.
The background picture above: the entrance of the “hobbit hole“, which Tolkien devised, is a type of “cellar door“, the idea of whose phonetic beauty he popularized in a 1955 lecture on the English and Welsh language.

Can you name the authors/writers? 🤩
My stack for #14books14weeks
Hoping to clear some space on my shelves. So I can buy more books 😂
At the vet with Boots again today. Fingers crossed she does well with having blood drawn. I get it, kitty, labs are no fun!

A clock ticks and tocks
A fan in the background whirs
Comfy blankets; sleep.
Not my dog 😂 Maybe later I'll dig through my photos and share of him under the covers. Sometimes when I come home he's dug under the covers.
This haiku only happens to me when I feel accomplished and don't have a talkative mind at the time.

In other incredibly cool music news for #TuesdayTunes, one of my favourite rap artists/MIT professor Lupe Fiasco found inspiration in the “plein air“ artistic movement to record music in outdoor settings, allowing for the ambient sounds to inspire and collaborate with the music. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/may/01/lupe-fiasco-new-art-project

Just in time for Tuesday I discovered this initiative from the Museum of the United Nations - UN Live. Sounds Right brought artists into the studio to record songs using nature sounds, and Nature gets an artist credit. Nature's artist royalties (and donations) are then directed to conservation and restoration projects.

I‘m trying this tea today because it‘s supposed to be from Bangladesh. (Says Pennsylvania on the back.) Either way I‘m excited that the tea bag and wrapper are compostable. That should mean no plastic. #FoodAndLit
