Two really excellent decisions that took place with no pandemic in sight but now seem as if they were perfectly planned:
- My boyfriend gave me an Aerogarden for my birthday last year, and now there are salad greens growing in my bedroom
- Two Christmases ago I had all of my middle-grade and young adult fiction shipped to my Brooklyn apartment (it was…a large number of pounds of books, because as a kid I never wanted anything but books, and my parents felt bad that I had to have braces twice, so my reward for going to the orthodontist was a trip to the nearby bookstore), and now I’ve decided it’s time to reread all of them…and possibly narrate the process. Don’t worry, I’ll refrain from starting a podcast (people have already gotten there first, in any case, with their Babysitter’s Club and American Girl pods…but I don’t know if anyone has done non-series titles…anyway, I’ll stick to blog posts)
