Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeons: Stories | 
pickShoutout to the new Barnes and Nobles in Santa Fe who didn‘t have the one book I wanted (isn‘t that always the way) so I came home with this. I really liked this collection of short stories who reminded me of Nathaniel Balingrud‘s short stories. The monsters aren‘t the horror, it‘s the people going through some of the toughest days of their lives. There are some, though, that made me so angry because he would take a character to the edge 👇🏼
Reggie and I would think WHAT‘S NEXT?!! And he would say-that‘s it, that‘s the end. lol. The first story is Pestilence, War, and Famine being told they have to go on a team building retreat. But not Death cause Death is perfect. So the Lesser Horsemen go on a boat and there they are with their coach Linda doing trust falls and talking about feelings. It‘s super creative and this and other stories told me that Keith has had some shitty jobs. All the 👇🏼 13mo

Reggie Yeah, my grandma got put into a home. She has dementia and so I‘ve been trying to go home, which is 4 hours away to see her as much as I can so I‘ve just been a bit stressed out and work is not reality right now. There is just a lot of craziness going on but imma try to be more present here. I‘ve missed ya‘ll. 9mo
CBee @Reggie oh honey, I‘m sorry. I‘ve been there (grandma and mom). You can totally email me anytime you need to talk (cydneybean@gmail.com). Hope you‘re taking care of yourself too. You know we all understand and love you! 9mo
Reggie @Cbee Thanks so much! 9mo
