#HandleWithCare Mug Shot 294 of 365 📖 ☕️

"Babe?" I heard from my pillow.

"Babe?"

"Yeah?" I replied groggily.

"It's 9am."

"Shit."

Up and caffeinated and a late Mug Shot after watching thr Jay's win Game 7 last night. I was in bed around 12:30, and J, well, I don't know how he's alive - but suffice to say, we're both awake and go Jay's and freakin go coffee. 😂

Morning, friends!

A bright shiny day to start our Tuesday. A big ole workday in front of me. The latest podcast episode of I Care About Books is now avaliable! I'll be sure to share it this morning ❤️ (or this afternoon the way things are going). We reviewed The Poisonwood Wood Bible in this episode, and now we're on to our next reading challenge - Slaughterhouse 5. Read along. Join the book club!

(Was that awake enough? 🥱)

Today, I read (and it was extraordinarily poignant for this morning): My age doesn't bother me. It's the side effects.

Ha!

Right? Oh man, with the wisdom threads I'm growing in my hair. And I remember a time where I could skate on 4 hours of sleep and still have the buoyancy of a teenager. Now it's a 1am bedtime and I'm waking up well into midday. Bwahaha

I don't know why I ever shirked a nap when I was a kid. And I miss the nights where we could run into the 3am witching hour and count on a McChicken or slice of pizza to make it through the next day.

But these side effects. Damn growing up.

Damn it all to hell.

Regardless. Well done, Jay's.

And Happy Tuesday, everyone.
