Take one busy day throw it all in a bag, add in mo Take one busy day throw it all in a bag, add in more things to do, shake it up and dump it all out then choose the first 10 you see and that’s how my day went. 

Don’t forget to add in a splash of rain (pun intended)😂

It did come with an amazing massage from my friend and masseuse @ellis_lmt 

I was dancing in the laundromat parking lot while I waited for my sons guinea pig cage liners.

When I found a vintage copy of “The Scarlet Lett When I found a vintage copy of “The Scarlet Letter” I had to buy it.

It sold in 1960 for $1.25
I bought it for $12.00 at a used book store in 2019 and I decided today was the day to start reading it. 

I’ve seen the movie and know the story of the adulteress Hester Prynne but I’m curious to see how I feel about the book. 

Novelist John Updike said 
“She's such an arresting and slightly ambiguous figure. She's a funny mix of a truly liberated, defiantly sexual woman, but in the end a woman who accepts the penance that society imposed on her. And I don't know, I suppose she's an epitome of female predicaments. ... She is a mythic version of every woman's attempt to integrate her sexuality with societal demands.”

I’ll let you know what I think.

Audiobooks are how I get things done. Usually I l Audiobooks are how I get things done.

Usually I listen to more nonfiction than fiction while I physically read more fiction than nonfiction.

Currently I’m reading at a pace of 3 fiction books a month and 1 nonfiction.

I just started @scorelucy ‘s new book last night on my bike ride and I’m loving it as much as the other two in the series so far.
