Walked into the finally open Bookstore.  Went in empty handed, walked out with an armful, which soon became a bagful when I got to the car.   8)

3 books. None of which for me. All gifts that I've sent off to friends.

I've been searching Amazon for something new to read. Can't decide what. It's a bit desperate since I have plenty of unread books around right now, but I don't know which one to start with. :GA:

I just basically grab the one that's a bit different and go with that one.  Now it's historical, the next one will be a biography.  Or maybe the latest Star Trek book I picked up today.  I'll decide when the time comes.

As long as it doesn't interfere with sleeping it's all good.  Moderation or even abstinence is good.   But, there are some days when I remember Anthony Hopkins saying, "Life is too short, eat the delicious food........etc.  So some days, one needs to indulge, and dare I say it.....over indulge in small doses.

well my sleep schedule is non existent right now anyway while I'm needed by the oldest. But I only drink a handful of times a year. Tonight I'm all about enjoying.

My spazz self wants to focus on whatever my current obsession is but I have a bunch of books waiting that I know are good reads and that I will like. And it always ends with me grabbing something else entirely. Plus, of course, ordering more on Amazon.

I'd pay good money for being able to simply read whatever is on top of the pile.

Did this on Friday. Now drinking the last of it.

I wonder if there will be a wave of coronavirus alcoholics once this thing is over.

Why pay good money, just go thru the pile and choose the one that appeals to you?  Thats what I do.  After I finish the latest history one, I will read the Star Trek one and then the Biography of John Entwhistle, the WHO's Bassist, aka, The Ox!

I'd say absolutely given the drastic increase I'm seeing just in depression, anxiety and PTSD cases.
