Thank you for the motivation
Today
When i was younger (before kids) i read a lot - mostly Stephen King and classics and it's still what i really like. Kids are grown, but i have a hard time saying, "I'm going to sit here for an hour and read." There's always something to do...bills, husband, animals, house, yard, etc. and when i veg I mostly turn to mindlessly browsing my phone because it's 2 minute chunks that you can put down anytime. After 15 years of working at the same job i just found out that my lunch break is 60 minutes instead of 30 - maybe I'll bring a book and try to use that time to read.
They want you more than they want $.
Hopefully you'll find a friend you can share your pets and your life with.
I have a friend who teaches high school history and has traveled a lot. She's great at this! I feel like i can talk to her about almost anything and she never makes me feel stupid.
I dunno...distractions, too much commitment, feels indulgent,... ? Just got a book for my birthday and read the first 100 pages aloud in the car because my husband and son wanted to hear it. Now it's been on my coffee table for two weeks and I'm struggling to pick it back up.
We love darts. If you find a good dart bar you can have a couple of hours of fun for the price of a soda. During covid we hung our board on our backyard fence so we could have friends over for game night.
I like her. She makes jokes, but seems to be very fair
I've been using zep, but i just ordered floor science from Amazon. I have stained concrete floors downstairs. I use Bona on the wood upstairs.
Oh man. I wish i could read a book!
Right?! He either didn't know or kept it quiet.
You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
