Finished reading: You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky πŸ“š

Oh my goodness I love it. Matthew Prince starts out as a spoiled party boy but Janovsky slowly pulled the onion layers back until I loved him. And his love interest Hector is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Finished reading: In the Event of Love by Courtney Kae πŸ“š

A lovely place-based friends-to-lovers second chance. As often happens, the third act breakup made me want to yell at the main character but the book had me happy-teary by the end.

Finished reading: Eight Kisses by Mindy Klasky πŸ“š

Eight Hanukkah romance stories. I read one each night. My favorites are the one with the Frisky Bean coffee shop and the one with empty nesters reconnecting.

When people who don’t have fibromyalgia ask me how it feels, I tell them to imagine the last time they had a bad flu, then to picture going shopping, cooking, or exercising while feeling like that.

Me: My heel hurts.

My doctor: Have you tried using that ointment I told to use for pain on it?

Me: I will now.

Me: I’m going to take a 20 minute nap (sets alarm)

Narrator: She took a 90 minute nap. She did not hear the alarm.
