The first five minutes of the new White Lotus freaked me out and I shut it off. That was not the darkly comic escapism I came for

Listening to DJT talk about kicking out all the Palestinians and drooling over Gaza being redeveloped into some kind of fancy property development is gross and appalling. Not to mention gutting foreign aid. Which hurts people, and gives an opening to our adversaries which makes us less safe

95 percent sure I'm in the background of a fitness video today. She killed it and her outfit was super cute. I'll be the middle aged lady with dodgy knees, modifying the exercises, my unwashed hair spraying out of a claw clip and greenish dark circles under my eyes, visible directly behind her

Why did I wait so long to get to Epilogue Books in Rockford MI? It’s 20 miles away, not 200. Anyway, fixed that now #booksky

My lovely friend hosted me at her restaurant to celebrate the re-release of my 1930s historical fiction about Broadway, VIVIAN IN RED. A local real estate agency supported me by promoting the book with a giveaway, too. This might be my new favorite author photo #booksky

I make six batches of candy for neighbors and family, send Christmas cards, and bake sugar cookies from scratch. All of these things are optional. It helps to remember I'm choosing them, and I find these things meaningful. (And I can stop doing them whenever I want, if the work outweighs the joy.)

A new (new-ish, new to me) indie bookstore is always wonderful news. Happy to finally visit Orchard House Books! Bought some Christmasy romance and had a great talk with a friend over a very pretty coffee in a real actual mug #booksky

I keep thinking of Gandalf saying, "So do all who live to see such times" (in response to Frodo saying "I wish it need not have happened")

Correction, though. I did find someone else who coaches Odyssey of the Mind and we had a nice chat the other morning, so there's that.

I keep seeing folks marveling at the engagement here on Bluesky as opposed to Threads. Does that just apply to newsy-pundit types? People here have barely interacted with me at all so far (except the few I know IRL) My Threads experience is very chatty and interactive

I always try to make pie crusts and they generally fail. They break up around the edges before I can roll them out to the right size. What am I doing wrong? (I have back up store bought crust in case)

Getting ready to play my violin in my (progressive, inclusive) church this morning, because I’m not afraid to be mediocre! I was only ever a medium-good high school orchestra kid, and everyone else is better than me. But they appreciate me and I love it Normalize only being okay at stuff

I coach Odyssey of the Mind (IFYKYK , if you don’t, Google it) and my students are making paper mache. I printed out the PDF of Vivian in Red to proof it… and now I’m letting the kids use the pages as material

I usually have some bubbly when a book comes out. But I don’t have any (poor planning) and also I’m watching football which is more of a beer occasion. Anyway, cheers and Go Green

Welcome to the end of the last non-holiday week in the US. The rest of 2024 will be spent in a fog of food and drink indulgence, overspending, and “let’s circle back in January” saturated by holiday movies new and old and Mariah Carey warbling at us about all she wants for Christmas is us.
