This is six days after I painted them!

Squirrel Girl comics

I know, I know. But you may have noticed that there wasn’t any light reading in that mix.

The Dollop podcast

It’s history! And humor!

This is a mystery series that Nate and I discovered on Acorn TV. They’re pretty basic mysteries, but the characters are fun and I’m a sucker for a good Scottish accent.

Conversations with my husband

This scratches two itches. I spend most of my days with a 15-month-old. He’s definitely very chatty, but I think it would be a stretch to call our talks intellectually stimulating. Having some time alone with Nate at the end of the day, where we can catch up with each other is sometimes the main thing keeping me sane. And with the barrage of bad news each day and all the ideas I’ve got rolling in my head from my reading, it’s nice to be able to vent and hope and cry and laugh.
