I enjoyed the re-visit of this one. It felt too real/too haunting. I don't know if I would have been able to act in a similar way to the MC did. Like I get it, but could I? I highly doubt it.

Cleaned/organized my pantry for a big chunk of this #AudioCleaning (while drinking Bloody Mary's) - Love the new organization now.

I am not in menopause yet. But I am getting nervous about it being around the corner. As a true book nerd, I am going to be researching the hell out of it! Anyway, this book was written in such a lovely way. I love the “down-to-earth “nature of this book, which allowed me to really feel less scared. #BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

My Baby Lazlo.

ElizaMarie @dabbe Thanks! I am worried thats gonna happen while I am with a difficult patient (knowing my luck). But thank you for being open/honest with me about your experience. I was thinking of coming up with a perimenopause group or something. Like a little support group - maybe in the same of Self Care Type of group. 5d
ElizaMarie @MemoirsForMe YES thats why I am trying to get more info - so I won't be lost! 5d
dabbe @ElizaMarie That's a fabulous idea! I only remember one specific time when I had one during class; I just stepped out in the hall until it passed. You might not be able to do something like that. Most only last a few minutes, and most of mine occurred when I was sleeping in bed for some reason. 5d
TEArificbooks I have good days and bad days with it. There are way more symptoms than you realize. I completely understand “Karen‘s” now. Kinda like a period, as time goes on the symptoms start light and then increase then decrease. But each stage can take years. I just picked up Naomi Watts book about it. 5d

Need to take better care of myself, my mental and physical health. I have been on the way side with taking my medications daily, exercising, and maintaining hydration. Stuff like that. I need to get into gear and create good habits, to carry me into the next phase of life - not here yet but - soon

Today:
💚 I did some yoga - need more movement and stretching in life
💚 I am going to f/u with my Drs
💚 Already filled water bottle !!!

Read4life You‘ve got this! I find making myself start is harder than actually doing the things I know are good for me. 2w

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpinView (thanks for the tag)

1. I tend to drop books on my face, so I kinda have to read sitting up.
2. I love how honest this book is. The amount of information and normalization of what is happening to our bodies is something I really needed. So a #PerfectTiming type of book (not in menopause yet, but premenopausal).

Come play: @Aroyse @ElaineReadsNRambles @Morr_Books

Not enough #Smut -- but I enjoyed the storyline of this as well :) So, Listened to this one on my car ride to pick up our new baby. We haven't come up with a name for him yet. We plan on spending the day with him to figure it out. He is a little spunky boy. Immediately bumrushed the other babes in our home.

Initially read this years ago, had almost forgotten how great it was - knew I liked it, but I hadn't remembered the intensity of the boys.

It was kismet that one of my co-workers (who saw me reading) had also randomly picked this one up! So we have been discussing too!

Picture from one of the protests (felt like it belonged here)

@Read4Life Thanks for the tag -

1. I keep $20 in my car at all times. Mostly for gas, but lately, it's for ice cream money (there is a seasonal shop opened now that only takes cash).

2. I would say the family is kinda wealthy, and are not about sharing the wealth, but holding it over others. The MC family is poor poor dirt poor and now they are facing their downfall.

@CatieWithAC - It took me a bit to start, and then I finished this one. It had a lot of information, which was all very interesting, but I needed maybe more of a slower-paced, one type of poison/spice, more in-depth, instead of a little about a lot? If that makes sense.

Thanks again for the gift! I love reading all the books you recommend!

My #BookSpin book is a #BookToScreen book :) I had barely started watching the Hallmark versions of these books. They are pretty cute! 📺

In the books, I am not crazy about the love interest though. Its like I want to keep going on the series, but their relationship irks me.

Heard good things about this one and it was “free“ with audible so - there you go

To Do:
💛 Reset my weekend bag - put all the toiletries where they belong
💛 Do laundry - wet bathsuit needs to be washed. Also forgot my dirty clothes bag, so my clean clothes that weren't worn will have to be washed too - enough for a full load
💛 Clean/Organize the backpack - it was extra self-care supplies

ElizaMarie @BethM I love candles (and the fire flame) but -- I tend to “forget“ to practice utmost safety when I have a candle lit. My husband is always the “candle police“. Also now, Lobster (my black panther) is obsessed with flames and I am afraid he will burn his little whiskers. (edited) 2mo
BethM I once left a candle burning that turned out to be in glass that was not rated for fire. Burned down, popped the glass, caught the decorative wax on the outside on fire, and went up the kitchen cabinets. While I was at work and my husband was sleeping. I‘m Bo longer allowed flames 😂 2mo

I enjoyed this book, however, it's one of those, I felt had so much more to offer (vampire/horror-wise) and it focused more on the love story aspect of it. Which I am not against, but had expected more mystery intensity than it gave. I did love that it was set where I grew up - and I think I am averaging up.
