![]() I did something on Friday that I don't often do. I showered in the morning. It was a work from home day, not my morning to take the kiddo to school, and I had an empty calendar. So, I took my time getting ready. I even used a shower steamer to make things feel extra special. This change was a nice way to wake up. Something about walking around in my fluffy robe afterwards felt so decadent for a work day. I've always been a person who showers at night. I like washing away the day and going to bed feeling clean. Plus, I prefer having those few extra minutes to sleep in the morning. I also feel far calmer and relaxed after a shower. I think my PM routine helps me sleep a little bit better. But, sometimes it's nice to change things up.

It feels like Armentrout is setting up for a whole scale scene shift. I wonder if this entry in the series is going to be more about the world than the characters. *Books shared here are affiliate links for Bookshop.org What I need is a full week on the beach where I can read uninterrupted. Also, there probably shouldn't be Wi-Fi so I can't be distracted. You can see my complete TBR list on Pinterest.

Sometimes Ctrl+K let me add a hyperlink, sometimes it didn't. It's annoying to have to remember which platform uses which shortcuts. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and Ctrl+F are universal so why can't everything else be?

![]() When our kiddo came home from the hospital, I went from being able to sleep through fire alarms to waking up at the sound of a feather falling. My husband went in the opposite direction. This means I've become the parent who handles the vast majority of the overnight wakeups. Over the past few years, I have learned the following, objective truths about wake up times.
![]() Today, my library is honoring two long-term employees with a retirement luncheon. While I'm sad to see them go, it's great to see their joy in what's next. Here's what else made me happy this week:
