Hello again, my lovely friends!
It has been quite a while since my last update on this reading challenge. The first… eight to nine months of this year were ass-kicking levels of depression. But I am slowly coming back and back o my books! So, tell me what you’re reading and if I should add it to my TBR?
Now, y’all know by now that I am nearly addicted to reading. I am an utter bibliophile and reading challenges, specifically this reading lunacy, is just up my alley.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the 13 Moons Reading Challenge for you, if you missed my first few posts about it:

My roommate Miah is away for another day or so and their dear kitty, Gracie, has decided I am an adequate substitute for affection. She’s a tiny, loud, adorable little ball of fluff and will head butt you for attention.

I forgot my lunch today. I also fucking started bleeding again, which is some utter bullshit. I was grumpy and out of sorts and one minute late to work today. It just wasn’t a good day.
Until it was.

11 Hours Til I Meet Up With Uncle Comic
We got out of work early today since it is Good Friday. I haven’t ever really been in a family that religiously observed Easter, so I’m not quite sure what I should expect when I am traveling tomorrow morning.

4 Layers of Clothing Soaked Through Getting from My Vehicle to the Front Door
1 Spilled Cup of Slightly Splenda-Sweetened Sweet Tea
Physics defeated me this evening by reminding me that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon otherwise. What does that mean? My hand, and a good square foot of my bedroom carpet, got covered in diabetic-friendly sweet tea.

I love to read. It has been a fantastic, well-honed coping mechanism for the last several decades. It is no secret in my social and familial circles that I am an utter bibliophile. So a reading challenge is just up my alley.

So. Tomorrow after work, Rose and I will be going to see the 1986 puppet-riddled masterpiece of cinema that is Labyrinth. Fun fact: it premiered in the UK a day before I turned one year old. Still love it, though.

Well, I know this is going to be late to post because I am currently hiding in a dark room with the “ice hat” on. (Edit: called it! I slept till 1030 Wednesday morning.) I also call the thing our “hawk hat”. Whatever you call it, it is helping. Between the TheraIce frozen hat thingie, my usual cocktail of migraine meds, a full-sugar Coca-Cola (for the first time I don’t even know how long), a zero-sugar Gatorade, and a bit of drive-thru food, I hope I can get over this quickly.
I had to leave work early because of my stupid, pain-riddled body. Ugh. Just the lovely, ever-continuing adventures of the malfunctioning meatbag, I guess. I’m going to try and get some rest after I drink more water.
Take your meds, folks.
