Sorry to hear about your root canal, and the wicked AF. :( Hope you feel better on both counts soon. <br /><br />I also really want to read (and see) The Zookeeper's Wife. I love Jessica Chastain, and the story sounds amazing.<br /><br />We've had a super wet spring already down here in the Midwest, and I'm over it! My seasonal depression is ready for spring! And summer! And sunshine! :)<br /><br />Hugs to you my friend as you celebrate the upcoming events, bittersweet they are. <br /><br />Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028385789654418050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-85125695819020832992017-04-02T12:22:06.784-04:002017-04-02T12:22:06.784-04:00Ooh, good stuff here.

I used to watch figure skating all the time, but without cable it's hard to do it now. Always interesting though. Dorothy Hamill, Kristy Yamaguchi, and Nancy Kerrigan were my faves. <br /><br />Books... I have some recommendations, some really good ones from the past year. Also, thank you for recommending The Rules Do Not Apply. Wow, was that ever good. The first ones are young adult, but completely absorbing and incredible -- The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (The Raven Boys, Dream Thieves, Blue Lily, Lily Blue, and the fourth I haven't read yet but I believe it is The Raven King). SO GOOD. On the weird but intriguing side, The First Book of Calamity Leek by Paula Lichtarowicz is fascinating. Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple is amazing too. For something completely different, The Principles of Uncertainty by Maira Kolman is a mashup of art and text, memoir and observation, and just a beautiful experience to immerse yourself into. Before the Fall by Noah Hawley was really good, too (but plane crash, although private plane, but if that freaks you out maybe not, but interesting unraveling of what really happened). A lot of these have some level of grief hiding within, but beautifully done and I do not think fertility related grief. I tend to avoid that unless truly looking for it. <br /><br />On that note, glad you're surviving the hopefully end of winter weather, the root canal/crown, and the upcoming milestones. Thinking of you as milestones bring those memories of who should be there, but is not. Love to you!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.com
