Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Time for some differing expectations (again)? James, do you expect your family to welcome you back into the family business? (Seems like no) "How though?" is a good question, Meitalia  Where Dempsey and Statler are is beautiful Dempsey and Statler should break up I'm glad Shekinah recovered okay "You look epic," is a great compliment Sarper is NOT happy I do feel bad or Meitalia and her family Sarper, why did you marry a woman you didn't love? Again, Dempsey and Statler should break up James, you can't say Meitalia can't talk about stuff you literally talked about on camera Next time Sarper proposes... ...or kinda does? Next time Joanne finally speaks to her older son Next time Ingi and Corona tour a glacier Next time Corona considers going home to finish school (please) Next time Josh and Lily cancel their wedding? Next time James leaves? Next time looks good Can't wait! (Prompt by me) 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way , TLC Promotional image source

I'm almost out of quick backlist book reviews to post. So, I'm going to brainstorm some ideas to fill the Wednesday slot.  Books I've vibed with (even shorter reviews of mostly kids' books I've read) Series I read as a kid Books I'd buy for (insert challenge) Fanfiction I've loved Books I'm excited for Ideas I have for a book Books I haven't read but want to Cover reviews Books that that would make great movies Series that would make great TV shows Books I haven't read but don't want to Fanfiction I've hated Books with great narrators Ideas I have for fanfiction Books with bad narrators (Prompt by me) "A Library salute to National Photography Month and the photographer’s skill for staging eye-catching compositions (LOC)" posted by the Library of Congress

Time for some tense conversations. Matilda, I think it's fair to worry that your family won't approve of Niles Božo...it's fair to go slow, but to call Vanya just a friend is a little wild Split is pretty Božo...maybe soften the emotional blow a little? Veah...Sunny feels like you just threw it all out Veah...you're wildly unprepared Oop Chidi plans on breaking up (or not?) Rayne is escalating things like wild Wow Rayne has 0 self-awareness Rayne got so gross so fast Adnan cannot read a room "I would kill you, baby" is not reassuring, Adnan Also, Adnan, pretty sure you're supposed to be modest as well Lol Matilda doesn't refute the curse thing Veah...aren't you already wearing makeup? Veah...I'm not sure you're communicating effectively Veah I thought the whole thing was that you and Rory DIDN'T cope together Not looking good for Niles Well that was easy, huh Adnan? Niles, will you have enough money for the wedding, bride price, travel,

My therapist encouraged me not to go into an anxious frenzy on the evening of November 5th. Here are some ways I may slow the experience down.  Brush my hair Clip more propagations Cook (maybe make pesto) Do my nails Dye my hair Message friends about non-election stuff Paint rocks Pet Hoban actively Plant my propagations Snap photos of things to give away on buy nothing Stretch Take breaks from election news to watch other stuff Tidy Unclench my jaw consciously Write fiction (Prompt by my therapist) "Election Night in Chicago" by The Democratic Party .
