The events that led up to this post seem like they happened an age ago, don't they? Nope, only a handful of months have gone by.

Good morning! A chilly 29ยฐ sunrise walk with the battypup started off our day.
I started listening to The Unexpected Journey by Emma Heming Willis. I didn't know there are so many different types of dementia. Yikes.

Yikes! It's been 2 weeks since I posted. "Two weeks!" I've not gone a day without reading, naturally, but posting.... eh.
I've turned 50 in the meantime. Those AARP ads are insidious!
Today's read is The Stranger In Room Six by Jane Corry.

Agree. I start getting anxious if I've had a book more than a few days, unless there's no one behind me. But taking more than 3 or 4 days is rare for me.

I don't often recommend books I read to my dad because we do not have the same tastes, but I told him it's a historical fiction. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
I've now gifted him the audiobook because he wanted to get deeper into it. ๐Ÿฅณ

I just finished The End of the World As We Know It, and HOLY SHNIKIES was it fantastic. I got emotional when I was all the way done. If you were ever a fan of The Stand, or have been a Constant Reader, get yourself a copy and go full bore.
Gat damn.

Happy weekend! I try hard to avoid the headlines on the weekends, give myself a mental health break.
Today, I'm re-reading King's The Institute before watching the new series. I might mow the backyard later. ๐Ÿšœ How mundane!

Puppy sitting day! Milo is adorable and is definitely going back with his foster mama this afternoon. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
I just started Killer on the Road by Stephen Graham Jones, narrated by Richard Brake & Isabella Star LaBlanc. Didn't expect to hear Brake narrating. He's good!
