Every time

[cornerofmadness]

If I put one book on hold, it takes the library 6 weeks to get it but every time I put a few books on hold they ALL come at once. Five books. Also why did I put five books on hold?

Had the worst coffee drink ever at my coffee shop. Maybe it was because I was there an hour before closing or something (very crowded too) but it was 90% milk and my lactaid didn't help (usually it does, plant milks often have too much fat or sugar for me) And the Mexican restaurant's chile rellenos while yummy was also hot AF, way more than I usually get so my stomach is pretty unhappy. Things are home are getting pretty horrible too so stress is real and my plan for the weekend is probably rained out. sigh.

I'll talk more about this on my Sunday writing talk but a) there isn't 20K of loose pieces of that steampunk mystery because apparently once upon a decade ago I had started combining things so there were repeats. b) I found MORE pieces under yet another title. So I now have another 20 pages to sort through. That's exciting.

The curse is real!

[cornerofmadness]

Isn't it though? If I put one book on hold I'd still be waiting for three more weeks. I lose my mind and put a half dozen on hold and I get them all in a week and a half.
