Bookwormjillk Hello! I am waiting in my car for my son to get out of the SATs (testing for college) hoping he doesn‘t get out too soon because I want to catch up on my reading. After that it‘s a beautiful day and I want to be outside as much as possible. 2w

ElizaMarie Husband and I are seeing KPop Demon Hunters sing-a-long. It so cute to see all the kiddos dressed up! But also- we don‘t have kids and hey - it‘s okay and doesn‘t matter! It‘s a great movie with great soundtrack 2w

ElizaMarie @Bookwormjillk ooo hope y‘all go for a treat after! Maybe a place you can continue to read :) 2w

kspenmoll @Bookwormjillk I hope your son was not too fatigued after testing - and that you got a couple if reading hours in! 2w

kspenmoll @ElizaMarie Sounds like a fun movie! 2w

kspenmoll My family went to Mystic Ct by the shore & indulged in lobster roll( me) & fat belly fried clams( hubby & son)- a last hurrah as I return to work Monday. Beautiful sunny day, if we hit 80 degrees the sea breezes made it seem cooler. I am stuffed & happy! 2w

kspenmoll Can you tell me the author of #Naturalitsy sept book? I found 2 books with same title, Around the world in 80 trees 2w

Bookwormjillk @kspenmoll @elizamarie he didn‘t think he did very well but was maybe just hungry because he came home and ate a huge lunch and was much happier. Hope you both enjoyed your days. 2w

AllDebooks @kspenmoll it's this one. x

Took the train to my mom‘s for some business she needed to include me in. Was worried about the heat, but it was only in the 70s. Weird weather for that area. Also, learned they have TWO Dutch Bros. We have ZERO. What conspiracy is this? 😂 😭

IriDas @Leftcoastzen I heard that about La Habra too. I‘ve only been to them in North and Central Cali where there are no lines. Just the usual for the time of day. 3w

Tagging a few from my post earlier this week about coping. Please feel free to check in.

@Librarybelle @dabbe @TheBookDream @lil1inblue @willaful @Eggbeater @JenniferEgnor @AnnCrystal

Roary47 I‘m hoping to get more caught up today with a clean house, but a nap is definitely in the picture. 3w

TheBookHippie I‘m on a me staycation in my house. No one can ask me a thing for a week. Nor am I cooking for anyone but me. No housework. Nada. Recharging. 😂🙌🏼🤭 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie Y😍Y! 🧡🤎💛 3w

dabbe @Roary47 N😍PS are the best! Hope you have a long and restful one! 🧡🤎💛 3w

Eggbeater I had a stressful day yesterday, and I am using this weekend to recover. No news, take-out, PBS, books, online book club, and snuggling with my dog. If I happen to get some chores done, that would be a bonus, but I'm not pressuring myself. 3w

Librarybelle I think I can finally rest for the rest of the weekend! I still have minor chores to do, and always lots of kitty things to do, but I don‘t have to rush. What a week! Though, once I sit down, I may fall asleep. 😂 3w

JenniferEgnor Hanging in there. Things to be grateful for and focus on today: gifted more books to my bookworm hospice patient this morning; a nice storm visited us at home; tacos tonight with friends. 3w

willaful I'm missing my husband, who's been away for a week helping his sister recover from surgery. Spending too much time online and watching too much t.v. :-( 3w

AllDebooks @Roary47 Nap roulette is the best game. Is it gonna be a 20 minute catnap or 3 hour food coma? Sweet dreams x 3w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Yay for recharging. Wishing you a restful weekend. x 3w

AllDebooks @Eggbeater oh no! I hope you have a restful weekend. X 3w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Enjoy your weekend. X 3w

AllDebooks @JenniferEgnor ❤️ Enjoy your evening with friends. 🫂 3w

AllDebooks @willaful 🫂 that's tough. I hope she makes a speedy recovery and hubby is home soon. x 3w

willaful @AllDebooks It's lovely and cool outside so I'm going to have a walk, which will be an improvement on my previous activities. :-) 3w

AnnCrystal Thank you for the tag ☺️👍🏼💝. Relaxing today, working on a crochet shawl for my mom. Couldn't find purple cotton yarn, but found a lovely shade of green 🪄🧶💖. 3w

Bookwormjillk Last full day of family obligations and I go home tomorrow! I miss my cats! I even miss working a little 😂 Have a good one all. 4w

Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s been a crazy week—I started a WFH temp job to help pay for Zeke‘s medical bills, and it‘s been crazy. I like the flexibility to work whenever, but the work is not always available, despite a requirement to work a certain number of hours per week. I need flexibility with Zeke‘s care, so I‘ll see how long I can handle this. 😂 It has really cut back on my reduced reading time. Hopefully I can get a good rhythm soon. 4w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk enjoy your last day before heading home. 4w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I hope it works out for you. Good luck. x 4w

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle I hope you can get it worked out with your WFH job! 4w

Librarybelle Thanks, @AllDebooks and @Bookwormjillk ! I am a planner and having to check for work several times a day at all hours of the day is not a good practice for a planner. 😂 That‘s on me. I guess I‘ll consider it a growth opportunity. 4w

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle that would be hard for me too 4w

Roary47 I hope you are able to find that balance @Librarybelle 4w

Roary47 Yay! Almost time to go home to the kitties. I‘m happy for you @Bookwormjillk 4w

Roary47 I‘m going to try to take back my house in cleaning. Finding my work life balance is always hard for me. I have forms to complete for my kids school, I have work still to do for my job, but today is audiobooks that my library holds are almost up on and cleaning my house that got out of control through the work/school week. 😅 4w

Librarybelle Safe travels home, @Bookwormjillk ! 4w

Librarybelle Good luck, @Roary47 ! 4w

Bookwormjillk @Roary47 good luck! The forms are a real struggle this time of year! 4w

melissajayne Had friends over on Thursday evening and I was just so drained yesterday. Did basically nothing. I just sat in my chair and watched stuff on my TV and listened to podcasts. Had a good sleep that I just woke up from and feel surprisingly rested and content. 4w

AllDebooks @Roary47 bleurgh, cleaning and form-filling! Hope they're completed quickly so you can get back to doing what you want. 4w

AllDebooks @melissajayne sometimes you just need a timeout to recharge. That's what I'm doing today. 😅 4w

dabbe I can't believe how jet-lagged I still am from my trip (4 hours ahead in NB). Add to that, I need to relearn how to handle the heat. Since I've been home it's been 113, 115, 118, and 115. The dogs are grumpy because it's too hot to even walk outside. So, I need to stop bitching and find the good. I have a home with AC and pups who love me. What more do I need? 💙🩵💙 4w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Yay for home and cats! Safe travels! 💙🩵💙 4w

dabbe @Librarybelle Yay for your job, though I hope it calms down for you soon! Glad Zeke's still enjoying life and love to you and those kitties! 💙🩵💙 4w

dabbe @Roary47 I'm so with you! My house is a disaster zone! It's so bad that I look around and don't even know where to begin. Yet, I don't have to work with students anymore. I hope you have a stellar school year, m'dear. 💙🩵💙 4w

dabbe @melissajayne It's so necessary to reboot after time spent with people. Glad you woke up feeling rejuvenated. 💙🩵💙 4w

Deblovestoread I have had a busy, although mostly fun, three days since Wednesday. Even the DMV, while not fun, was easy with an appointment. I‘m so glad to be home today with just Pippin and some quiet time. 4w

Deblovestoread @Bookwormjillk Going home is always a treat. 💙 4w

Deblovestoread @Librarybelle The work thing sounds HARD. Hope it goes in its most positive way for you. Give Zeke a pet from me. Hope he‘s doing well. 4w

Deblovestoread @Roary47 Hope the necessaries can be accomplished quickly and you get time to relax. 4w

Deblovestoread @melissajayne I so get the need to rest after peopling. 4w

Deblovestoread @dabbe We are forecasted to hit 101° tomorrow and I‘m not a fan. Thankful for AC and that our nights cool down to mid 60‘s. Hopefully a good book can take your mind off the hell that is outside. 4w

Librarybelle Thanks, @dabbe and @Deblovestoread ! Zeke is doing very well. He had a really rough patch a couple of weeks ago but has really bounced back. He also stopped eating the one food he had been eating but wanted a novel protein food he ate before his diagnosis, and he is so improved on this, acting mischievous at times. He still likes eating during the night, though, so I‘d love some restful sleep at some point! But, I‘d rather this than not have him. 4w

dabbe @Deblovestoread I think I can probably find one or two. 100+ degrees in Oregon is just NOT correct. It's just not. 💙🩵💙 4w

dabbe @Librarybelle 🖤🐾🖤 4w

Roary47 Thank you @AllDebooks @dabbe @Deblovestoread I was able to get most of it done, and then played my video game. 😍 4w

AllDebooks Oh, Kelli, that sounds tough. It's good you can talk to your mum. Is there any other help available, such as support groups or counselling, to help you break the cycle? 1mo

kelli7990 @AllDebooks I joined narcissistic support groups on Facebook and there‘s videos on YouTube I can watch about narcissistic abuse too. If I go to therapy, it would have to be a therapist who specializes in narcissistic abuse recovery. I don‘t know if I feel comfortable talking to a therapist about it because I don‘t even know how I would begin to talk about what I‘ve experienced. 1mo

TheBookHippie Oh sweetheart. The issue was him. You are love and he is definitely not. Maybe look into EMDR https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22641-emdr-therapy It‘s not up to you to pray for him. Let God sort that out. You take care of you. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG. Nothing. You are so valuable. He did not value you. 1mo

AllDebooks I wasn't sure if the support group you mentioned was recent. There are so many online resources available if you don't feel comfortable with a counsellor. I agree with @TheBookHippie 💯, the onus is on him, not you. You need to shift your focus from him, back to you. I know how hard that is to do. CBT helped me enormously, retrained my thought processes, and broke the cycle of negative thinking/behaviours. Sending 🫂 x 1mo

AllDebooks I bought this on Kindle. I haven't read it yet, so I can't say if it's any good.

AnnCrystal It's essential to protect your own well-being and energy.

Try pretending that your ex is a fictional character in a book that you're not enjoying...close that book...donate that book...and allow yourself to move on to another book with better characters.

May you find healing and peace as you journey forward 🙏🏼💝. 1mo

Librarybelle Good Morning! It‘s so hot outside, so I am very thankful for air conditioning. Hoping for a quiet weekend to catch up on sleep, but we‘ll see if my cats will allow that. 😂 1mo

Sace Good morning! Haircut today but otherwise no plans. I report back to work on Wednesday so I am trying to read as much as I can! It‘s to hot to be outside anyway. 1mo

Aims42 Happy Saturday!! No big plans except for doing the weekly grocery shopping. They‘re saying rain and thunderstorms for my area so I‘m taking that as a sign today should be a chill reading day 🤓 1mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle 🤞 for nap time x 1mo

AllDebooks @Sace ooh, restyle or trim? 1mo

AllDebooks @Aims42 absolutely it's a sign 😀 1mo

Sace @AllDebooks mainly a trim but I am growing out a short pixie to a blunt cut bob. I am currently in the worst portion of the process when no matter what I look shaggy and my hair is in my way 😆 1mo

dabbe Thanks for always checking in on us! We're taking Pip (with Katie riding shotgun) to see her vet neurologist for her yearly checkup for epilepsy. Then, we'll probably be exhausted, so we'll rest up in anticipation of our friend Ann and her greyhound, Phoebe's visit this evening. #allaboutthedogs 🖤🐾🖤 1mo

Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s been another rollercoaster week, both personally and in the world. But, I‘m hoping to sleep this weekend (hardly any sleep the past few nights), read, and hang with cats. Because, you know, cats make everything better! 2mo

Sace I report back to work July 30 so I am spending every moment I can reading. Work thoughts creep in and I have to quash them. I‘m already thinking about the August TBR since traditionally I do NO reading in August and I don‘t want that to happen this year. Only thing on the agenda today is lunch at my favorite Thai restaurant. 2mo

kspenmoll I am back home from a few heavenly days in Mendon, VT. On my porch with coffee & a book, welcoming the morning.A break from the heat! Plan to walk with my neighbor after coffee, the laundry catch up,bring book donations to library. The afternoon id free for me. 2mo

See All 24 Comments

kspenmoll @Librarybelle I truly hope you can sleep, read, & snuggle with your cats. It has been a roller coaster week politically…so rest up for life right now. 2mo

kspenmoll @Sace Enjoy your thai food & the remainder of your time off.💕 2mo

Librarybelle @kspenmoll Yay for porch reading! 2mo

Librarybelle @Sace Enjoy your remaining free time! 2mo

Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle I hope you get lots of cozy, snuggles, and reading time 💛 2mo

Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll that sounds like a thoroughly enjoyable day. 2mo

Chrissyreadit @Sace What book are you most looking forward to reading next? 2mo

Sace @Librarybelle Cats are the best! 2mo

Sace @kspenmoll and your porch looks lovely! 2mo

Sace @kspenmoll and @Librarybelle thank you! 2mo

Chrissyreadit I have caught a Summer cold! so will try out some ways to feel better without raising my blood sugar (i use a lot of honey typically when sick) 2mo

Sace @Chrissyreadit I‘m still trying to finish up the July reading menu. The only thing I know for sure about the August reading menu is that it will be made up entirely of snacks and leftovers (quick reads and the books I don‘t finish in July). 😂 2mo

Sace @Chrissyreadit oh no!! I hope you can get some relief. Lots of rest and reading are in order. 😁 (edited) 2mo

Chrissyreadit @Sace 😘 2mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle sleep well. Cats and books make everything better. X 2mo

AllDebooks @Sace a Thai lunch sounds delicious. Enjoy your meal. 😀 2mo

AllDebooks I've been rained off gardening. I'm alternating between Lord of the Rings movie marathon with my eldest and reading
