Six Things, Post #5

[usedtobeljs]

Oh my god I'm so tired and it's only Tuesday.

Let's move on, for we persevere.

1) My TBR pile totters unsafely near my desk (or rather, my main TBR pile, with a secondary TBR pile in a spare room), and it's really out of control.
2) So what do I want to read now? I want to order some random Margery Allingham non-Campion mystery from the 30s. Why am I like this. Why.
3) My five months of not buying clothes is underway -- one month successfully down! But because I have excepted scarves and shoes from my no-buy policy, have I been scoping out potential purchases to replace or fill in gaps? OF COURSE I HAVE.
4) Miss Adventure has been going to a doggie daycare once (or sometimes twice) a week for three+ years, and it is the bright spot in her week. Alas, however, it is closing, and the only alternative will be less boutique and more of a hassle to get to and from. Still, she needs her socializing.
5) And the good thing about the alternative daycare is that there is an actual proper pool, and from April to October she can swim in the afternoons. She LOVES swimming.
6) The azaleas and camellias are out, here in the subtropics, and they are brave in pinks from pale to fuchsia. I do love a bright, bright pink.

Wishing you a happy week!

I feel your pain about the TBR pile. I have primary, secondary and tertiary piles and they are all out of control. I have managed one month of no book buying so far. I am aiming to get to Easter (fortunately early this year) but I can already feel my resolve weakening.

A happy week to you too :)

I am ignoring my tertiary pile. It doesn't even count. :)

I send applause and good thoughts for your own no-buying streak!!

The poor TBR pile; it has many books but nothing I want to read right now.

[usedtobeljs]

This is the eternal problem!!!

Good for you, adhering to the 'not buying' plan. Yes, scarves and shoes are a necessity, though.

I'm glad that Miss Adventure has an alternative place to go. Swimming is important to me, too.

Miss Adventure sends good thoughts for your own swimming, too!

My TBR piles are out of control, and yet I keep reading library ebooks/audiobooks instead!

::hugs::

[usedtobeljs]

At least library books don't cost you anything! Applause! :)

A happy week to you, too!

Hugs, and I hope the rain stops soon and the water subsides for you!

I love the idea of a doggy day care with a pool!! How very glamorous! Lol!

I’ve tried to instate a rule that I don’t buy something new unless I give away something I already have. It’s working on the whole. At the very least it means I’m evaluating what I actually wear.

[usedtobeljs]

Hee, the IDEA of a pool is glamorous, but since it's used exclusively for the dogs, in reality it's not. ;)

Cheers for your week!
