My husband asked and I watched Tiger King with him.I felt like a dozen or more of my brain cells died. It was a perfect example of why I don't watch TV. I am going to bleach my mind of the whole thing and read a large, long novel about something.

Thank you Laura. It is only 8 am but I already have things ready for my BBQ today. Just hubby and myself having a nice day. I am going to kick his a$$ at Mario cart today. Wish me luck!

My husband and I were planning on going to Dragon Con in Atlanta this summer. Well, that is now cancelled. The Canadian border is still closed and I am to high risk to leave my house. Sigh. At least I can read as much as I want to and have tea on my balcony.

I love physical books, That is probably why I work at a book store. I just can't buy them anymore. I have no more room in my house. I did buy an e-reader and I really love it. If you do buy one look for a model with various light settings because they are much easier on the eyes.
