pickGood
From my #audiowalk 🚶🏻♀️
pickWell I will be looking for something light hearted on my shelves to read next because this was just so hard on my heart. An autistic mother with a teenaged daughter when new neighbors move in next door and insert themselves into their lives. It drags a bit in the middle but I was still ready to jump into the pages and fight everyone for being so cruel and dismissive of Sunday.
pickCrime story set in Portugal, but it‘s not the usual holiday-read. A great set of inspectors (one autistic) and a good and clever storyline.
Freedom was the name for the dizzying power that lasted through her library expeditions. No pleasantries ever needing to be exchanged with the librarian on duty. Even the round clock at high noon on the wood-panelled wall had no claim on her. From the first second she entered the building she was in other times, other dimensions. She was other Naoises.
pickTen Steps to Nanette is a Netflix comedy standup special unlike no others, it‘s not comedy it‘s trauma dumping which punches you in the gut. This memoir was an extended version of that feeling mostly.
Just got home from my youngest son‘s Reg‘l Ctr annual appt. The SW usually comes to us, but I thought it would be easier to go there. When we got home, he did not know where we were. Because it was not a normal place he goes, in that 2 hours (incl commute) he had become so disoriented I had to take his hand to lead him. It reminds me that my kids are the people this admin hates. I never have the privilege to be non-political.
