Headache. Meds. Laundry. Somehow I'm 70% of the way through this book. ("Sundial" by Catriona Ward. I don't know when I got it or why I picked it, and that's true more often than I'd like. It's good. When am I going to get to "Jesus & John Wayne"? Ummm...

I have 4 hours left in the audiobook "Cuba: An American History" by Ada Ferrer. It won a Pulitzer; you probably don't need my recommendation. Well, I guess I can attest that the narration is excellent.

Someone read my mind and told me that Sycamore Library has a queer book club. Yay! I splurged and bought the April book, which sounds entirely too popular 🤣 ("The Guncle" by Steven Rowley) and somehow justified it by pointing out that I already have the May book.

Since it's #InternationalWomensDay , I'm reminded of Maria Popova's "Figuring", which I still haven't ever finished, but did inform me about Caroline Herschel. https://t.co/F8PCtjWrW3
