A Cup of Coffee and a Conversation
Welcome back to Sunday! A lot has transpired this week!
If we were having coffee I would tell you I am off school for now for 3 weeks. We will see if it is extended after that time. There is much speculation. I am taking the time as a gift and time to relax and take care of myself and my family.
If we were having coffee I would tell you I read more this week. I need to read more now. It is how I cope with stress and also fuels my writing. I read the newest Paris Review yesterday notably a story by Jesse Ball about turning into a mouse. I read several poems too. I have been able to put holds and pick up books I have heard about on my favorite podcasts. One book I picked up is Meander, Spiral, Explode recommended by Kathy Fish during a writing class last year. It is a dense book but smart.
Do you need a refill? Maybe some water? What books are you reading? Do you turn to reading when you are stressed? I am curious.

I love the format and the suggested intimacy of a cup of coffee and conversation. Thank you for this piece of writing!

Our library closed without warning on Saturday morning. Fortunately Hoopla is still open for business. I just got Louise Erdrich’s latest The Night Watchman. I only hope I can pace myself, so it lasts awhile. I’ll be doing professional reading, too, but fiction buoys me like nothing else. Savor the “me” time.

I am glad for overdrive. I guess the same will happen here. I do have quite a few on my Kindle and the bookshelf. Take care of yourself my friend.
