Currently reading my fifth John Irving novel.
Years ago I picked up Until I Find You on a whim and I’ve been hooked on his writing ever since.

The only time I want snow is in December and I felt like that wasn’t super common when I was a kid, but this year it seems like it has snowed everywhere already except where I am. 😩

Frankly I think it’s been a little too sunny the past month or so. Where’s all the winter rain I was promised when I moved to the PNW?! 😤

My toxic Michigander trait is seeing a video of it snowing somewhere and I have to comment, “that’s decent snow, too” 😂

I just finished reading Jane Eyre, which was number 36 of the 50 novels on my classics list, and so far it’s one of my favorites.
It always intimidated me and that’s exactly why I put together the list in the first place. It’s been good to get out of my comfort zone!

Apparently I took the day off to go on a long run and to get a pizza and a beer for lunch.
I’m not sorry about it.

I swear, the last mile of every long run I think “I don’t wanna” immediately followed by “okay, you’ve got this”.
It’s almost like I have to admit defeat and then I have to prove myself wrong. It seems to work though!
