There have been 22 weekdays this September. My kid has been in school for only 14 of them. The 8 remaining days: 1 holiday, 1 school break, 3 home sick, 2 dentist appointments mid-day, 1 hurricane flooding cancellation. This has made it hard to establish a fall workflow.
Finished reading: Up: A Mother and Daughter’s Peakbagging Adventure by Patricia Ellis Herr 📚
An uplifting and compelling read. Herr documents her daughter’s successful climbing of the 48 NH mountains taller than 4000 ft. Highly recommend.
🔖 Read Howl’s Moving Castle should be the model for every book-to-film adaptation (Polygon) by Petrana Radulovic
I’m reading Howl’s Moving Castle. Bit of a spoiler & Miyazaki left it out of the movie (rightly, I think) but Howl is actually a post-ac wizard whose family is v. disappointed he isn’t doing more with his PhD. This delights me. 📚🍿
I’m exhausted. My mom has gone to the ER once a week for the past 5 weeks. My kid has not been in school for a full week since the beginning of the month. I’m still tweaking my thyroid meds. I will gladly accept your sympathy & empathy. I do not require your advice or questions.
Want to read: Ghosts of the Forbidden (Glazier’s Gap Book 1) by Leanna Renee Hieber 📚
I just ordered a 20 ft inflatable black cat. It will dominate the culdesac. I’m kind of hoping it becomes haunted. (RIP The Best Cat, 11/1999 - 6/2017)
My currently-planned NaNoWriMo novel is a YA supernatural rom-com set at musical theatre camp in the late 90s. It miiiiiiight have some autobiographical elements.
