Re-reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is quite enjoyable. There is so much in the book that is skipped in the movies.

Lots of life lessons, the most obvious of which is “Oh, no! Look! It’s the consequences of my own actions and choices!”

But, there are lots of other great insights.

Great little book. #bookstodon #reading

Sunshine. Fresh air. Coffee.

And the cat just left enough fur on my lap to create a whole second cat from 🤣.

Yay shedding season lol! #lifewithcats

I’ve been reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, or I should say re-reading it this weekend. Enjoying it!

If you have a love for reading, don’t ever let life take that away.

When a lifelong reader stops because life gets in the way, a part of how you relate to the world leaves you.

Change what you must, but this sacred time for you has to stay in your life.

Closing out #caturday, my wide eyed Jack.

Having eggs with some zucchini for breakfast.

The only drawback is the cat is on my lap between me and my food, and it’s really hard not to drop zucchini on his head 😸.

Shoulder shoulder
Can’t you see
I need you to move
You’re wrecking me

Not today my shoulder said
I’m not playing
So get it through your head

That’s what you think
Whiny one
Have some prednisone
Let’s get stuff done

Ok fine my shoulder said
But just for today
And then I need bed

A truce is made and balance found
I’ll do some things
Then I’ll sit back down

Baby mouse
By my car

Holding still
Frozen in fear

Keep going tiny one
Tis neither your day to die
Nor mine

Once you know
You can’t actually make it right
You sit in that
At first you think
Yep
This’ll kill me
But
It doesn’t
How bizarre
Wholly unexpected
Stewing in it
This ridiculous wrongness
Waiting
Then
Suddenly you’re watching yourself
From outside
And….wow
You’re ok
Clearheaded
You can see
Really see
This action I choose
It’s the best available
I can’t make it right
Not this time
And
That’s alright
I don’t hate me for that
This is a taste of freedom

My weekend reading in between all the getting stuff done will be a lovely re-read of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Heaven knows I’ve seen every possible movie adaptation of this, since I’m a huge classic horror fan .

But it’s been decades since I’ve read the book!

I recently got a Barnes & Noble gift certificate for Mother’s Day from my son, so I bought myself some classics that I had wanted to have in my collection 📚🤎.
