I was not marked safe in the Black Friday sale. But I did get the speak now hat and a bunch of baby tees. 🥰

Since leaving Boston I obviously lost access to Libby through the BPL & CPL. 😭 Great news though, my county library system in NJ just joined the “Main” library system (statewide system) AND they announced the statewide system is getting Libby in early January 2026!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I want to rock more baby tees and crop tops in 2026. I wasn’t allowed to wear them as a teen but no one can stop me now that I’m in my 30s and have my own money. Bonus: it’ll motivate me to do my workouts, which also usually gives me more body confidence because I love feeling strong. 🥰

Filled up my kindle because I’m spending the day at the spa tomorrow and I am so pumped to chill in a recliner with my book and my coffee when I’m done with the saunas and pools. 🥰

The week before a holiday is always fun and silly and busy because we pretend our house is a B&B that we have to prep for the new guests (my siblings + spouses). Plan menus, assign rooms, fluff pillows, clean, clean, clean.

Finished 1 book so far this week and have deep cleaned 2/3rds of the house for next week. Still much to do, but we’ve made excellent progress!! Now off to start a new book. 🥰

Renewed my library card and got some new books. Not that I’ll have time to read them for the next week with family in town, but a girl can dream!

I just wanted the cute mug 😭

The mug sold out before I could check out 😭

I bought two ornaments! They will go with my TTPD Typewriter and Eras Tour Piano ornaments ❤️💛💚 Everything else was SO CUTE but I am trying to save money while I am on sabbatical 🥲

Was gonna do a Sunday reset today, but it drizzling rain and 55F outside so I’m actually not gonna do that. I will be curled up on my couch with the second half of Crying in H Mart instead and crying into my coffee.

Sometimes I’m incredibly emotionally tired for no reason, and sometimes I suddenly remember that I’m a Cancer sun, Pisces moon, Pisces rising, year of the blue (water) Monkey, and then I go back to bed. No one talks about how impossible it is to be a crybaby and an eldest daughter at the same time.

I finished 3 books this week! 👏👏👏

I love D&D but I can’t keep doing this playing until 11pm thing. I don’t get to sleep until 2-3am and then I can hardly function the next day. I need to go back to playing marathon sessions on weekends instead of short sessions on weeknights.

Pretty proud of how much my reading speed for non-fiction has increased this year. I used to read SO SLOWLY if there wasn’t a gripping plot, but I’ve gotten much better!! I just read a whole 70 pages of a new-to-me non-fiction book today, and last year I would struggle to read 4-10 pages a day.

Proud to be the 522nd backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Lodestar: A Spacefarer's Manual | Space Fantasy in 5e!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Latest attempt to pump myself up for the day included creating a 7hr playlist I called “Morning Dance Party” and just my favorite upbeat music from throughout my life.

Going to see a BTS concert film today!!

also love that she brought secret sessions to the theatres since she can't host them at home anymore - I love the idea of encouraging a group listening party!

A lot going on at the moment ❤️‍🔥

Reddit thread with current locations found for those wondering!

Missed my train but now I have an hour to read and drink coffee, so I think I still won?

I am returned!! That was so fun. ❤️‍🔥

Going to be smart and log off until I see the film tomorrow night to avoid spoilers. Welcome to the Showgirl Era, besties!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Ohh it’s the “bl00d” from Anti-Hero but in the cracks from Delicate 🥹

The temperature in NJ is dropping to around 55 on Tuesday for the next two weeks AND I’m gonna get to go to Maine again and see the autumn leaves fall into place!! 😍

I just asked my mom if my hair looked bad enough to need to wash it before work and she TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY SUNDAY 🎉 When I tell you I fell to my knees in relief. I am still so tired.

Going into my last week at current job soon, and I have so many exciting things planned for October!!!

300 Adventures!!

I love TayFlorence moments in large part because you can tell they really love and are inspired by each other. It’s annoying how their fandoms don’t always seem to understand that bond, but their friendship is so cool.

Good morning besties!! How are we doing on this fine Sunday morning? The rain has finally stopped, and I finished TWO books yesterday. 🥰

Part of me will always be feral about lorekeeping/note taking for D&D campaigns. The rest of me is crying at the idea of even considering thinking about anything but sleep and recovering from the last month of back-to-back extra hours at work for back-to-school prep.

Raise your hand if you’re planning to attend the Saturday Night Fantasy Ball at BookCon in April!! 🙋‍♀️

BookCon tickets being reasonably priced is giving me life right now.

✅ Reykjavik Next up, Vancouver!!

I am so tired today. Gonna try to turn my day around by going to my favorite local coffee shop before work.

HAPPY SEPTEMBER BLOOMFIES!!!

Trump will be meeting today with Ukrainian President Zelensky. In an extraordinary show of solidarity, Zelensky will be accompanied by the British Prime Minister, French President, German Chancellor, Italian Prime Minister, Finnish President, NATO Secretary General and European Commission President.

Ohh love this! Introduce yourself with the last 5 concerts you saw! Jin (#RunSeokjin, Newark n1) The Rose (Once Upon A WRLD, at MSG) Taylor Swift (Eras LA n3) Douglas Appleman (in Brighton, MA) Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer (Hella Mega, Philly)

dated 30th may.. it was a mf easter egg

I’m dying 😂

Had a dream last night I was taking finals and thankfully it speed-ran most of them and I passed, but I spent an HOUR of the dream taking a French final I didn’t have time to study for. I haven’t taken French since 10th grade. I think I got at least half of it done and correct before I woke up tho.

I really like Taylor’s commitment to dropping a cassette tape for every album. That’s dedication.

✅ Slept 12 hours ✅ Ate a yummy tuna melt ✅ Got new library books ✅ Did my grocery shopping ✅ Paid my CC and Healthcare bills I think I deserve a medal today, and also I’m going to sit in a big pile of pillows and blankets and read a new book and play some Stardew Valley for the rest of the day.

250 days of self care ✅

Also worth noting: They’re killing the media industry *first*. Techbros have been very clear that their goal is to put as many people out of work as possible. This is nothing more or less than an attack by the 1% upon the rest of us that, if left unchecked, will crash the global economy.

Today is filled with VERY weird vibes and honestly I would like to get off this ride immediately.

Went to the city yesterday for the BTS Pop Up and to go to the Guggenheim with my cousin. Excellent day. Legs hurt. Gonna need alllll the sleep before seeing Jin on Wednesday. 😂
