Did the bare minimum of reading, but it still counts! 🎉
Work was...exhausting. Silly me, I didn't think we'd be very busy on the Saturday after Christmas, but it was also Educator Discount Day. Um, aside from the Kids' Flash Sale haul on those Saturdays, this might have been the busiest, most profitable Saturday the store has had. And we were down a couple volunteers, because again, it was 2 days after Christmas. 🙃

Cute Girlfriend and I were supposed to spend time together today, but since we were both feeling very low energy, it just didn't happen. Hopefully, I can make it up to her over the weekend. (On the plus side, I was able to get more of my cross stitch projects done...)

Well, this morning didn't go quite as expected - as I was approaching work, a houseless person flagged me down to call 911 because someone was overdosing at the nearby bus stop. I didn't end up very involved, since someone else was already on the phone with 911 and naloxone had been administered, but it was still the most involved I've been in a situation like that. I'm still catching my breath.

75 Booked: Fail 2.0
Dec. 21st, 2025 07:45 pmI made it through 6 days of reading, though I didn't get posts about it done, before failing to read at all yesterday. Because generally, Saturday is ridiculously busy at work and I have zero energy left when I get home.
Note to self: Read in the morning/on the morning commute! 🤦🏻♀️

I've been dog-sitting during my weekend, so it was a good time to restart my reading challenge.
Toshi-dog is ridiculous - she barks at everything, takes puppy Prozac, was a COVID puppy, and can't be left alone for more than 3 hours. She likes routine, but due to some human health issues a few months ago, some of her routines have gotten screwy. Things are exacerbated by this being the first overnight without her humans since...the last time I overnight sat for her back in October 2024.
She's a sweetie, but I'm happy to go home to my cat now.

Restarting from Day 1 because I fell off the reading wagon. Hopefully with my new rule adjustment, things will go smoother this time. I should probably try to specifically schedule reading time into my day, but my schedule also flexes around fairly often? Idk.

Well, considering I only decided to do this...4 hours ago, I don't think my first day went too badly? 😅 I read more that the minimum and recorded my thoughts. Though I didn't drink *water*, I was drinking a beverage. This is a book I borrowed from work, so that's a fail...though I'm borrowing it INSTEAD of buying it, so at least I'm trying to avoid increasing my number of owned, unread books?
