What I’m reading: I gave up reading Cruddy by Lynda Barry. It was waaay too dark for my liking. As it progressed, and seemed to be hinting of going places I realllllly didn’t want to go, I became reluctant to sit down and read. I thought, this is stupid to avoid reading altogether because I don’t want to read this particular book, so I cheated a little, and watched a review on the book on YT. I knew then for sure it wasn’t a book for me. It goes even darker, which I figured, and although I wanted to like it because of the illustrations, it’s definitely not my cup of tea.
So, I’m now reading Bird By Bird, which is book on writing by Anne Lamott. I read this book a few years back, but it’s worth a second read, imo. I’m still looking for a book that lets me escape the real world into make believe, but until I can find one that suits my needs, I’ll continue reading nonfiction.

Oil portrait
Cold, windy, snow, freezing rain, little sun. 
Dinner with the cats, warm blankets, electric blankets, wool sweaters, boots. 
Endless cups of steaming coffee, 
Going to bed early to get warm, sleeping in late to stay warm. 
Listening to the sound of pouring rain on the roof.
Sneaking outside during breaks of weather to grab food and other necessaries. 
Ticking days off the calendar
Peppermint tea, licorice tea, blueberry tea, chamomile tea,
Wet towels and many hairs to dry
Snow, Snow, SNow, SNOw, SNOW
It’s not necessary to fear the prospect of failure
the twins
A chair full of Harold and Chewy
The snow only lasted a couple days. 
Sweet Pea kitten gives the best hugs
Chewy laughs at all my jokes
