I've had my car a year and a day, and I just broke 3000 miles! And the first 30 weren't me.
Eat some dinner, do my nails.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I miss those mileage days... I still don't drive nearly as much as I did growing up. Closer to 8k than 40k. But the years of annual oil changing were sweet.

I have unread books but all I want to do is reread things. I'm scanning my shelves for likely candidates. I have a half read book and two unread ones Right Here. But my brain is uninterested.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I realized half the reason I haven't gotten a new library card since I moved in December is that most of the time, I can only deal with re-reading, so I'm not needing new stuff the way I usually do.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, I am so glad to hear someone else say that. I have new books--stacks of them. And I keep reaching for the familiars. I don't seem to track well enough to retain new material when I'm tired. I can't believe how much new stuff I used to devour.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
All I have to do is hear a phrase that makes me think of a book, and I want to re-read it. Seriously. Or a song. Dusty Springfield makes me want to re-read Welcome to Temptation for the bajillionth time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I JUST read a book for the first time. A whole book! Ok a junior reader version of a book, but the whole thing. I shod have brought 2. This is one reason doing things alone sometimes rocks.

I just went to the library to get copied of books that I know I own, but I think they're in the garage some where.

I read more new books when I could read the first chapter crouching in the aisle at Powells before I bought them. Although a few of those are still on my shelves too.

Because books.
I've made a real effort the past two years to only read new stuff because I was a serial re-reader for years. Even on really bad days I try to only reread absolute favorite scenes.
And yet more than ever I feel like I'll never get to read all of the books I want to. There are just too many.
