I‘m currently up in PA with the #manpanion.
This morning I had tea with a cinnamon swirl donut.
I just finished putting pork stroganoff into the crockpot for dinner.
Then I‘m cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry.
I plan on spending the evening reading, knitting, and playing backgammon with the manpanion (who does not have WiFi so no computer work or tv streaming😬).

MaleficentBookDragon @Jess @endowarrior21 I can't believe my random matching system had you two matched with each other! 😜 12mo

MrsGagnonreads2024 @MaleficentBookDragon I actually laughed when I got the email lol 12mo

Jess @Endowarrior21 @MaleficentBookDragon I did too! 12mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Jess @endowarrior21
Well, my “random“ system is the #manpanion. He was getting cranky about over 100 matches. I'm just glad that no one got themselves (it's happened). 12mo

The #manpanion went a little overboard with the candy for my #jolabokaflod 🎁 this year.

Bookzombie Looks about right to me. 🙂 2y

A successful (and painful to my wallet) afternoon of shopping. #impulsebuys 📕 🧶 🍫 💵

The chocolate covered raisins are for the #manpanion because 🤮.

Louise Beautiful yarn! What do you plan to make with it? 2y

MaleficentBookDragon @Louise I‘m not sure. I‘m going to look through my patterns and Ravelry. 2y

PurpleyPumpkin The yarn caught my eye too. Lovely!😍 2y

Lizpixie I‘m also here for the yarn! What brand is it? Is it pure wool or a blend? Love the bold colour choice💜💚 2y

SconsinBookyBadger Pretty yarn colors 😍 2y

ShelleyBooksie Those yarn colors are gorgeous!!! What will you be making? 2y

Louise @MaleficentBookDragon I have a project “in the naughty corner” at the moment in very similar colors. The kit is on sale at WEBS. The design is by Jen Lucas. I got it when I was still very new to knitting, and the lace section didn‘t go as planned😆. Will start again one of these days, as the pattern and colors are gorgeous. Here‘s the link to the pattern, if you are considering making a shawl: https://ravel.me/liana-13 (edited) 2y

Avanders Ooooh 😍😍 And lol — I also love chocolate covered raisins 🤣🤣 2y

I made my #bookspin list last week but forgot to post it. So here is also with with my #bookspinbingo board.

#bookspin is a romance book
#doublespin is Excellent Women for the #pemberlittens & I‘m planning to read The Watsons as well.

Left room for lots of mood reading and probably continuing the Icehome series by Ruby Dixon on KU. Also joining #littensloveromance in reading Boyfriend Material 💙 Lastly, spots for #roll100 & #authoramonth books

TheAromaofBooks

MeganAnn Also waiting for June‘s #lmpbc book so I‘m hoping to get that read this month as soon as it arrives. @MaleficentBookDragon @Kayla.Adriena was still waiting for the book last I heard and was going to pass it along as soon as she could. I believe @phantomx also had a rough month. Hopefully everything is going better now for all of you. No rush, just wanting to keep everyone in the loop. 2y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Looks great!! 2y

Kayla.Adriena I haven't received a book since the Memory Police, I know she had posted about sending the next one out but I never did receive it 🤔. Could be life being busy, haven't seen any recent posts though 🙏 2y

MeganAnn @Kayla.Adriena no worries! I figured that might be the case. I‘m sure she‘ll send it along when she‘s able. 2y

MaleficentBookDragon I have Memory Police.I sent out Never Let Me Go a week or so ago, once I brought the #manpanion home from the hospital. I'll look for the tracking when I get home tomorrow night. (Hey @phantomx I'm visiting my sister in Haymarket Virginia.) 2y

phantomx Update on the books. I have most of the lmpbc books. I'm trying to get through them as quickly as possible. My goal is to send them out before next Friday 2y

Things We Do in the Dark: A Novel | Jennifer Hillier

My #BOTM blue box came while I was down in PA at the hospital. I drove up to get some more clothes and check on my #litsykitties before going back down to the hospital. Thank you to everyone who has sent their thoughts and prayers. The #manpanion is still in the ICU but is more stable.

On a lighter note, you may notice that the duster is in the picture of my very dusty #bookshelf. It must be on vacation.😅#nojudging

Death in Castle Dark | Veronica Bond

Well. Good news and bad news.
I‘ve recovered from Covid, but the #manpanion is in the ICU . Covid turned into pneumonia and his oxygen levels were dangerously low.
Thankfully I can stay in the room with him. I‘m trying to keep myself distracted with this cozy mystery & some knitting.
I‘m writing this because I know many of you have gone through the same thing, can understand, & maybe be able to offer advice.
PS I‘ll be a late mailing #LMPBC out.

MeganAnn, Kayla.Adriena, phantomx

AmandaBlaze Hope he recovers soon! 3y

samantharoberts Sending positive and healing thoughts your way ❤️ hope he has a quick recovery! 3y

Avanders Oh no I‘m so sorry to hear that!!! 😢 Is he eligible for the paxlovid pill? When my husband got covid a few weeks ago, he also had a spiked fever and a problematically low o2 level and had to go to the hospital, but he was eligible for the pill and recovered in just days. Hoping you get some really good news soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 3y

Kayla.Adriena I'm sorry this is happening, my advice is even though the doctors and nurses seem busy rushing around if there is something you don't understand or doesn't seem right don't hesitate to ask them! They're looking at monitors and numbers and sadly sometimes forget your husband is a human being lying in that bed 😔 3y

Kayla.Adriena And also MAKE sure they are in some way moving him around in that bed and also doing passive range of motion and preventing foot drop! And as soon as he is able to get up to the chair and start moving around. I know it seems counter intuitive because we think sick = bedrest but rehab/recovery can be arduous especially after a respiratory illness like this 3y

Kayla.Adriena And finally my last bit of advice is to give yourself a break even if it's just 20 or 30 minutes outside the room such as walking to the gift shop or cafeteria or outside, I always did this after the doctors made their rounds so I didn't miss them. You're his biggest advocate right now , try to take care ! 💕 3y

TheRiehlDeal I‘m sorry he‘s going through this. Sending thoughts and prayers your way. 💕💕 3y

MaleficentBookDragon @Kayla.Adriena thank you for all the advice. I appreciate it. I had a massive meltdown Saturday after the ER then the move to the ICU. I‘m a bit calmer now. I should be a pro at this. I spent a lot of time in the hospital with my dad when his cancer spread, then when my mom had her cancer surgery. My sister and her husband also had cancer. And then there was my cancer surgery. Sadly I‘ve spent too much time in a hospital over the last 12 years. 3y

Bookzombie I‘m hope he recovers quickly. Sending you lots of positive energy. 💕 3y

CarolynM That‘s awful. Hope he improves soon 💐 Hugs ❤️ 3y

From Below | Darcy Coates

So, I‘ve been off the grid. The #manpanion and I have Covid. 😷I‘ve spent the last 5 days shivering 🥶 and whimpering under the covers. I‘m hoping my headache goes away soon so I can start reading this #arc
I‘m really looking forward to this one. It almost makes up for having to cancel a fun planned weekend down in Virginia with my sister (we had high ☕️, 🪓 throwing, and Maverick 🍿 on the agenda 😞).

peanutnine How disappointing! 😞 Hope you feel better soon!! 3y

Be My Valentine: Valentine's Day Gift / Present ( Scruffy Bear Paper Notebook ) | Smart Bookx

Happy Valentines Day my lovely Littens.
The #manpanion did good. He made me tacos for dinner and some chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. I‘m a woman of simple tastes. These are two of my favorite things since childhood.
I hope you all got a special treat today as well.

Johanna414 Apparently we are twins, because that‘s exactly what I am getting for Valentine‘s Day tomorrow- my husband had to work tonight. Chocolate covered strawberries are my favorite! 3y

MemoirsForMe Those look sooooo good! 3y

Avanders Ooh fun! 😄 3y
