A little worse for wear, but still reading and eating chocolate, so basically everything’s fine. How did we get to December 16 already?

Recording these booktube videos is alot of fun, mainly because I’m not required to organize my thoughts in a coherent way (that I attempt to) when writing out a book review. I typically practice what I’m going to say all of once before I hit the record button, but that’s probably quite obvious with the…
Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 20
This video is one of my longest yet, but I feel like I say next to nothing in it. Probably because I had no idea how to describe the science fiction story I just read in the advent calendar; it is literally out of this world! I know you’re groaning at the pun, but seriously,…
Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 3
Below is my third vlog marking December 3, which includes a few glimpses of some of my feline companions, so you have that to look forward to. Unfortunately I’m currently battling a head cold, so there’s lots of snuffles that make appearances as well. On a happier note, the short story for today was quite…
Goodbye Smokey
It’s been a rough 24 hours in our house, as we returned home from vacation to find our beloved Smokey had passed away. It feels like just a few short months ago we were mourning the death of her sister Pearl, so I wonder if the loss of her only feline companion shortened Smokey’s life…

“A man and a boy crossed the parking lot and they were drawn as if melting, they were shaped like gum being stretched from a shoe.” Wow! End of review. JK, what a beautiful story of love lost and found and all of the questions we ask ourselves. It was fragmented, but I appreciated that approach, given it was a recollection of events and random thoughts. And I loved the commentary about technology and the lack thereof woven throughout the ‘narrative’. Simpler times?
Glad to see you up and about, and, yes, kitties are very intuitive…and therapeutic.
so true! I must admit I’m in a grumpy mood because of my surgery so I’m probably not as ‘giving’ as I would normally be in my reading
Poor you! You deserve so much more than a miserable chocolate square! (I’m sure you’ve had more than fifteen of them already…) Have some chocolate ice cream.
great minds think alike! My husband picked me up some today :)
You know what’s strange is my cat will not leave me alone when I don’t feel good. I mentioned that I went to the ER last weekend, and though I was only gone 8-9 hours, when we got back she was all up in my face and following me around. She especially attentive when I have cramps and always manage to lay in just the right spot on my abdomen to purr (she doesn’t usually lay with me).
awwwww so cute!! Cats are the best.
Their purrs resonate at a healing frequency, so perhaps she is more attuned to her magic-cat-powers than some other cats. :)
I like the sound of that!
LOL! I love that expression: “magic-cat-powers.” I HAVE heard about the healing frequency before!
me too!!!
Glad you are recovering and enjoying the stories so much. I admire your dedication to posting daily about them. (But am still stubborn about limiting my screentime, so I’m admiring from the sidelines!)
understood! This does take an effort, that’s for sure.
And you can’t even prepare very far ahead because they are timed-release. Like vitamins!
So glad it went well! And now I am caught up a little but, too!
I agree with everyone – cats are the best! I’m watching one of my cats right now playing with my daughter’s bunny. So cute!
