Two copies of The Grump Whisperer by Katy James (me) at the Cherry Hill New Jersey Barnes & Noble.

Still always such a thrill to see one of my books in a bookstore…

I have the tiniest bit of an idea for a short horror story, a thing I have never written before in my life...

My new-ish boss (from California by way of Florida) just had this awakening and it was incredible. She asked an archivist who works with Quaker collections how she "got into" Quakers. πŸ˜‚

If you want to annoy a weird, rude Substack lady who doesn't understand how NYT book reviews work and who also apparently hates romance, read KD's book!

Or even if you don't care about any of that and just want to read a great book, again, read KD's book!

This is some of the weirdest shit I've ever read.

"Why did they review I book I haven't read instead of a book I, personally, enjoyed?"

I have been super productive all day and now have the overwhelming urge to go home and rot on the couch for as long as possible.

But work is not over yet.

Sadly.

It's so warm out today and the dog can't stop sneezing. I should feel bad but it's hilarious. πŸ˜‚

We should have pre-surgery registries like we do wedding and baby registries.

I'm always hearing stories about people who find stray kittens all over the place, and I never find any kittens ANYWHERE. πŸ™

I would like to lodge a complaint.

You really don't want to tangle with ballet dancers, they're either bitchy queens or women who have undergone horrors you can't begin to imagine.

So in late April I'm having surgery to repair both. I'll be off work for a few weeks and in a huge leg brace for SIX weeks. And then back to PT for... ever.

I know it will be a struggle, but honestly I am so excited to maybe finally fix this?? I want my life back!

I realized I dropped this here and then never expanded. πŸ˜‚ I tore my ACL and meniscus last August, did a ton of PT for months, and then... still had a torn ACL and a WORSE meniscus tear. I haven't been able to run, hike, or dance since August. Walking is really hard.
