So nice to see you!

This is not necessarily something you can just turn on or off, but not worrying about whether what you write about is fascinating to your friends is a good first step to posting more. When I do post, which isn't as often as I would like either, I'm always surprised by what people choose to engage with or be delighted by. Well, except cat behavior: I expect that to get responses. So I just write about what I like, and somebody else generally likes it too.

I know lots of people who want their journals to be more purposeful than that, though, and that's a valid choice.

I cannot get along with audiobooks, but have found ebooks very useful. We are out of room for paper and it's a momentous occasion when I get a paper book nowadays. And reading on my phone is easier on wrists and hands, and also allows more space for a cat.

I'm mostly rereading things these days. I've read new books in a bunch of series I'm engaged with (Seanan McGuire's October Daye and Incryptid series, Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series, and Katherine Addison's Cemeteries of Amalo series). The last new book I read was a novella by Katherine Addison set in the same universe but not part of the series proper, so maybe that's not really new. This puts the last new book at, huh, I am not sure. Well, I've read Cameron's second novel that she just turned in, but that's not quite the same thing.
