Bedtime reading: a gift from friends so, for a change, I actually know what I‘m talking about.

Today‘s gray weather was perfect for staying inside, curled up with a book and the last of my brownie batch.

It isn‘t musical instrument related and it isn‘t a fish 😂 I am always excited when I find new X words and especially words that don‘t mean what I think they mean 😃 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

If you, like me, are having a rough time right now, *gestures vaguely at everything* I cannot recommend enough doing things together as a community.

A neighborhood clean up, volunteering at your local library, joining a new book club. Be with people. ❤️ Yes, even us introverts.

Aims42 Joining a Bookclub has been of the best things for my weary soul. 10/10 would recommend 👍 4w

MaGoose Going to a Book Circle at the local branch of the county library over the past few months has been a life saver for sure. Met new people and met new books. ❤️💙💜 4w

Thanks to the #atreeaday daily readings, which I‘m quite behind on, I discovered another new word! This is very science-y, friends. But very cool! Here‘s a link if interested: https://www.thoughtco.com/cladogram-definition-and-examples-4778452
