A week ago

The psychiatrist asked me 'are you okay' with being the sounding board for my dad as my uncle dies. I said yes. This week, that is less of a yes as the reality starts sinking in.

But things can always get worse and they did. One of my coworkers lost her son tonight. I am heartbroken for her. He's probably relatively close to my age. I've met her daughters and grandkids but not her son. I do not know what happened but I'll be stepping in tomorrow to give her exam for her. I can't even imagine what she's going through.

The 2020s just keep finding ways to be fucking awful.


What I Just Finished Reading:

K-Pop Confidential - This book, if it has ANY basis in reality has turned me off the whole idea of K-pop bands entirely


Crouching Buzzard Leaping Loon - This one was fun

Cold Iron - Filled with Manx folklore. I liked it.


What I am Currently Reading:

We Ride Upon Sticks


The Benevolent Society of Ill Mannered Women

Both of these I should love, an 80s era book about teen witches and a historical mysteries? So far I don't like either (but they fit my pop sugar challenge so I'm hanging in yet)



What I Plan to Read Next:

Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie, The reformatory and X
