We bought a secondhand electric guitar/amp for our youngest son yesterday and buying Beartooth/Bad Omens concert tickets for our oldest son today. There, Christmas is done: the rest of 2025 is boycott season. 🎁

OK, chat: now that’s done. What am I supposed to do with myself now?! I’m not prepared for life after. #throneofglass #kingdomofash #booksky ❤️‍🔥🥺

Had to protest vicariously today, since I was running a fever of 100.9 last night. 🤒 😩 Third time in 6 weeks. 🤧 #nokings

Small tot REALLY has it out (quite viciously) for this rabbit- actually, a dog toy that my pointer-mix girl dog treats gently, like a baby. 🐇

Just did the math: I’m at 72% through the EoS/ToD tandem read. This time next week, I will be starting the final book in the Throne of Glass series. After that, I don’t know what I will do with myself! The plan was to start the Stormlight Archive, but I may need an easy snack or two first. #booksky

I started this account to skeet about books I’m reading and sometimes music I’m listening to and a little bit of lifestyle documentary on the side, but I’ve been absolutely shit at keeping up with any of it in recent months. Not saying I’ll be better in the months ahead: just an observation. 🧐 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sure, it’s completely normal thinking more about what to add to the tattoo I just got, rather than something completely new: eventually turning it into a bigger piece. My goal was only to get something small before deciding to do a bigger tattoo on my arm, now all I can think about is my leg!

I might have done a thing. Blame the eclipse/equinox energy, or blame my birthday coming up soon, whatever. I love her and it was a fun way to spend the afternoon. 🫶🏻

I have been wanting a tattoo to mark my 45th birthday for most of this year- and now my birthday is close enough to reach out and touch, yet I’m paralyzed by decision anxiety. 🤪 Send help!!

The once weekly turning of my kitchen into a veritable jungle. I’m in the houseplants era of midlife crisis. 🪴

Vulnerable moment: my mental health has not been excellent, and current events are not helping. I feel so disconnected from people and it feels unnatural, but I have deep distrust because of *shakes hands around manically* …all the things. I very much want to be seen, but also to stay hidden. 🐢

Unfortunately, I recently passed the test no one wants to pass (Covid 😩🦠), but the good news is that the unexpected forced downtime allowed me to clear out every obstacle in order to make way for the long awaited Tower of Dawn/Empire of Storms tandem read. Going in! 👏🏻 #throneofglass #booksky

Two books: Tower of Dawn and Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas are sitting on the seat of a green velvet chair.

Yeah, I haven’t posted in a while. It’s been a bit of a ride lately.🎢 But I thought I’d share the latest feral kitten rescue update. Tomorrow marks one month since Merlin showed up on our doorstep, and it’s fair to say he’s made himself right at home. 🐾

150

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

He’s settling in nicely. I want to call him Merlin so badly! We have one family member that is a holdout on that name- it seems like Earl Grey is more universally accepted. I think I’ll secretly name him Earl Merlin Grey and call him whatever the heck I want to when no one else is around. 😉 🐾

I started Christmas shopping today. Yes, Christmas shopping! The plan is to get it all done before the end of quarter three- not doing anything to help the corporations have a record profits Q4 this year. Anyway, I digress. The point is, I bought my sister a sweater. And now I want to keep it. 💀 👍🏻

I would like to report that we’ve made progress with our little feral kitten project. He is quite happy to be friends with us, and today we might bring him inside (just to visit, as we are slowly trying to introduce him to our family without traumatizing him). We still have not agreed on a name. 🐾

Puck is proud of his apprentice. Still can’t get little one to approach us, but this picture is proof my cat is responsible for little tyke showing up here. They are obviously best friends. 🐾 p.s./ I’m 99% sure I’ve spotted balls, this is a boy kitty, and my son wants to name him Dr. Finklebaum.

Kitten update 8/18/25: little dude(ette?) is still hanging out. We’ve been unsuccessful at catching it, but we have been able to get it to come closer. This kitty is so skittish, I’ve given up on trying to get it inside for now. We’re going to have to take the slow route to developing rapport. 🐾

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Alright, #booksky …I’ve been distracted from my reading goal for the month by a bookish side quest, since this one came from Libby. The first book was a four-star read for me, but I’m about 38% into A Curse Carved in Bone and bored out of my mind. To DNF or not to DNF? That is the question today. 📖

Sarah ⋆ ⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊ ⋆ @booklavore.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Update on the kitten situation… nothing much has changed. This is as close as I can get it to come to me. We’ve left food out for him, but he’s too scared to approach. 🐾

POV: you’ve eyeballed today’s Uranus transit on your chart for the past few days, wondering what could happen, and then the very first thing that happens today is your adult male cat brings you a feral kitten. It was waiting on the doorstep with my cat, but little one ran off. For now. #astrology

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a WIP… cross stitching has been backseat with all the busy-ness lately. 🧵 🪡 I tried starting in a corner on this, instead of the center. NEVER AGAIN. I saw that some ppl do that- it’s not for me. I had to start over! Where do you start? #crossstitch #stitchsky

This morning is a mental shit show. I couldn’t meditate, just started bawling crying. Lo and behold, I looked up my astrology transits today, and literally EVERY thing is coming from the moon, which is aspecting natal Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. Tell me again how none of this is real. ✨🌔

This homeschool year is whipping my butt already: today is day 5. Hubs has to go back to Florida next week and then Mississippi the next two weeks. We got bad news this week about a family member. Is it any wonder I pulled the Queen of Pentacles reversed this morning? I need a real rest. #tarotsky

Things I’ve thought while being at the beach two weeks in a row: • it’s not be so bad, at least there’s a breeze • gawd, it’s fucking hot tho • I want a tattoo, why have I never? • I’ve never seen so many white ppl, and I am white ppl • is it time to go home yet? • time to redecorate my kindle 🧵

If you thought I’d be sick of the beach by now… I kinda am. We tried to get in tonight, but the jellyfish were doing jellyfish things. 🪼 Possibility that the hubs will have to come back next week again (for work) but the kids and I will stay home if that happens! #gulfofmexico

Not me getting emotional today watching footage from Ozzy’s funeral. What a legend! I’ve been a fan since I was 11/12 years old and discovered metal music for the first time and my mom’s old Black Sabbath records. We wouldn’t have the whole genre as it exists today without him! RIP, Oz. 🖤😭

My husband has already arrived at our beach rental- the kids and I are coming tomorrow. He’s on the phone with me now, telling me all the condo’s door handles are loose, so he got his tools out and is tightening the handles. Every place we stay, he does this. I love this man so much. 😂🖤

Last minute booking another trip to the beach, this time with the kids. It’s a working trip for my husband, so to Florida we go! I can’t wait to wear my Gulf of Mexico to piss off the locals again. 🙃🏖️

Just got my hubs’ birth certificate for the first time, now have his accurate birth time for astrology purposes and it IS SO REAL. Answers questions I had before know the right astrological houses. We had a guess time (from his mom) before and there were some gaps that I just knew were off. 🧵

Sometimes I want to move closer to the city to be close to other blue dots (red state), but then on the night of the new moon, when my dogs are outside barking at the woods and I step out to call them in, I look up and see stars. It’s not much, but sometimes it’s everything. ✨ #pagansky #bluedot

Had a great time watching my boys swim around and kicking back with a good book in my kayak. I love this series so much! The paddle was nice: not to swift, not too slow. The water was just the right temperature, counted turtles all the way down. 11/10 would recommend! 🫶🏻 #booksky #kayak
