Tessa Gratton is a toastie!?
I am so excited to watch this, but also I have been feeling not great this week, so I've been avoiding it in case it makes me feel worse. That's a good life choice, right?
I have been dating someone for around 4 months, but for the last couple weeks things have been not great. We'd get into arguments about stupid little things, my feelings were fading, but I was hoping things would get better; he's a great person. Last night he asked me to go on vacation with him, and I had a panic attack and broke up with him. Which I'm 99% sure is the right thing to go, I don't think our relationship is going to progress much further, but it took both of us by surprise and now I am sad and exhausted.
I want to love summer so much, but it is so busy and overwhelming and I am TIRED. The next two weekends are booked, mostly with friend-type things, but all I want to do is read is play video games and not play sports with my friend's new boyfriend's friends. On the plus side, I'm really enjoying Pokemon Go and all the walking and random conversations it's led me to.
Thank you all, for everything. I wish I had something more eloquent to say, but this is all I have right now. It's been lovely sharing this corner of the internet with y'all, and I look forward to many more smart, weird, funny, nerdy, Toastie conversations on slack.
I was just coming to the comments to say something about roll-on body glitter. How was that a thing?? It was so uncomfortable to wear.
Good to know, I always need new audiobooks. And I love crying while hiking?
Code Name Verity was so good, I'm afraid to reread it and somehow spoil the magic of it.
My gynecologist's office only plays Enya in the waiting room. For years, it has been the only music I've heard while I'm there. It is very soothing, but I don't know how it hasn't driven the staff insane.
The New Yorker piece reminds me of The Poisoner's Handbook by Deborah Blum - really good book about how a chief medical examiner and toxicologist set about analyzing poison as a murder weapon in the early 1900s.
