Welcome to Litsy!

All over the place. Medical insurance headaches that are already negatively impacting my kids. Over an hour trying to figure out that my daughter can‘t go to her scheduled appointment with the specialist tomorrow. I have been fighting insurance companies since my oldest was born over 28 years ago. I‘m so tired.

On the good side, my youngest son enjoyed the summer reading kickoff and I won for best speaker at Toastmasters.

Went to the beach with the kids today and I took the wrong book. 😭 😭 😭 I took one I‘d already read.

The weather is gloomy, but the cool feels nice to this middle-aged afab body. I moved away from the desert at exactly the right time. :)

How is the weather in your parts and what is your fave beach/park read?

My 16yo and I have agreed on a reading challenge: We will each read 20 pages a day of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. If we do that, we will complete the book before we leave on our trip to the Galápagos Islands in a few weeks. And this (somehow?) will enhance our trip. At page 206, am I having regrets? Perhaps.

New bookstack! ☀️ What is everyone reading this long weekend?

“human mating behavior delights & amuses us
& galvanizes our gossip, but it is also deeply disturbing.”

I love nonfiction so much guys📚
I can‘t wait until I get my hands on the 2016 edition!

slowly trucking along with the last two books for the #orilium April challenge. Oddly enough, the book about the history of Porcelain in Europe(The Arcanum) is the more interesting of the two.

Words of advice from Mr. Darwin. Luckily we can still do these things in this country. For now. 🤞🏻 #carpediem
