I’ve been awake for 5 minutes and I’ve already learned something.
I love the internet.
I comment:
Already pre-ordered Lot on Mat Johnson’s recommendation – I will read anything my favorite authors love 😹 Looking forward to reading it!
I warm up yesterday’s coffee: everyone else in the house is still asleep.
This will do for now.
I settle in to post my Slice of Life. Afterwards, I’ll dive into my current read: Dime Quien Soy, by Julia Navarro.
My cat jumps up on my lap.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, my friends.

My favorite line…”Joanne fabrics is like a siren” 🙂

“I’ve been awake for 5 minutes and I’ve already learned something.” … amazing, isn’t it? Such connectedness! I’ve been toying with the idea of a short vacation without connections. Or maybe I should just designated one day a week as an internet fast… well not until March is over.

That’s a lot before coffee!
Seriously, I enjoyed the shift in attitude in your cozy morning reflection-
From dismay at the weather to a Mr. Roger’s vibe 🙂

¡Me encanta este slice! Me siento completamente identificada 🙂 Now you have to tell me how do you like Julia Navarro´s book. I haven´t read anything from her, but “Dime Quien Soy” is one that I should read.
