Today's Sunday, so...relax time. The only productive thing I did from my list was reading. Started this little book about Sappho that I found in a thrift store recently.
Obviously, I also did some house chores etc but I don't track that stuff here. Then I watched several episodes of Dark. So unsettling, tangled and raw. I'm addicted.
βStill, the sun was hot. Still, one got over things. Still, life had a way of adding day to day.β
β Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

It's so easy to eat a healthy snack in the summer, 'cause the seasonal fruits are so delicious!
You're in the wind, I'm in the water. Nobody's son, nobody's daughter.

Finally finished reading Babysitter by Joyce Carol Oates. Omg. So dark and intense! I'm so glad it is over. Now I've just started White Nights by FΓ«dor Dostoevskij. As for other stuff, I washed my black clothes and went to the grocery store. Pretty casual day.
oh to be immortal and be able to consume every piece of knowledge and literature ever

Slowly but surely, I'm making an analogical version of my Storygraph. A journal dedicated to tbr lists, monthly wrap-ups, favorite books of the year, etc.
Summer is here. Time to carry thick books and read them at the park, eat something refreshing and delicious, go on long walks, admire the pretty flowers and get your daily dose of vitamin D.
