First contest submission for February is in! I now eagerly await rejection, because to hope for acceptance is too miserable. #amwriting

Benito Bowl over, made it home safe from Tía's place, baby partied hard and is now fast asleep, and I'm in bed before 9:30. I'll check the score in the morning, all the important stuff is wrapped up for me for the night.

Watching the Olympics I keep being impressed by how hard the drones are working to just... Not actually keep up with the humans rushing along ice and snow with strips of carbon fiber or whatever underneath their fragile fleshy bodies.

When a med's side effect can include nausea, but also the allergy/overdose/poor reaction can ALSO include nausea, where is the line? Is there a chart? How nauseated is normal and how much is "go to ER"

After debating a day about it, I decided to take the time and import January’s reads into #Storygraph but may loop back and finish updating 2025 and 2024 later. But I’m going to keep on top of 2026!

And baby 🐦's other favorite book cat this month is the cat who appears in "My Big Book of Spanish Words" by Rebecca Emberley.
Whenever we get to this page, he always bounces and reaches for the cat to touch it.

I was gonna start posting what books I read for January but realized my baby's book rankings might be more fun.
8mo. baby 🐦's fave book, Jan 2026:
Hi, Cat. Bye, Cat. by Jade Orlando
No contest. I offer 2 books and read the one he reaches for, and this one ALWAYS wins against every other book.

Is it worth it to import my last 3 ish years of reading history into Storygraph when I currently have it all written in a notebook?
Or do I just start with this year since I'm only 10 books in?
