Just sitting here wondering why my anxiety has been off the charts. I mean I logically know why but then idk why it doesn’t make sense to me. Idk.

B&B Works is having a 50% sale on everything and I been needing some new candles and quality body wash. We have 3 candles from fall and Christmas and they are down to the bottom of the candle. All of them.

I wanna treat mah self, but I think I may be treating mahself too much.

I hate to say this, but idk why anyone could goto the library anymore for books alone, when amazon has the biggest selection of books. Plus they have millions of free books. Classics, self published, indie, etc.

I’m not sure if people are aware that classics are public domain most of them. So no need to pay for them.

I buy way too many books. I am guilty of this.

I sometimes don't like reading public domain books, especially if they're translated works. I'd rather have the best translation, haha.

But I dn't really go to the library anymore

Also a lot of public domain books are perfectly translated, too. So it's not really a big issue. Like, for example, Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics -- the translation isn't going to vary that much between diff. translators.

Of course, you could always just call a really solid local bakery and I am sure they would be happy to make you a couple for a fee...

Most of the bakeries in this area are Hispanic....not to be biased but they’ve got different products which is usually pretty cool but not as helpful today...I think we’re just going to ask the host for a different assignment....there are plenty of pie places in the downtown just not out here where the bf lives.

You’re missing out I think unless u are specifically craving the banana pie. Some of the best pastries and pies are Hispanic ingredients and Their pies are also a lot healthier than American.

Library has more than public domain and you only need to go in once to get your card.....then you’re set to get whatever you want through overdrive right onto the kindle app. The also have thousands of magazines movies and music for free.

We are going to a cookout and this was requested by the host....

newtus · Jun 15, 2020, 09:02 AM

I wish I could have a pie right now and that’s the last thing I need.

cogladaid · Jun 15, 2020, 09:03 AM

I love buying books about different things and keeping them forever lol.

newtus · Jun 15, 2020, 09:03 AM

My sister texted me that she’s locked out of her car and far from home.

I like buying them too because the selection is better and I don’t have time pressure.....but not working right now so the library is fantastic.

I should learn to make flan. It’s so good. My mom made it once in awhile, that’s one of my favorite desserts.

Omg so good but I think you typically need to make a water bath from a bigger pan.....I’m too lazy these days and you can get a decent one at the grocery here.
