Good morning from a mom and her HOT cup of coffee because her toddler is still sleeping. Even *after* I left the bed. Imagine that.

Usually when he notices mama’s skin is no longer available for touching, he is up and outta there. But, today, I guess I will enjoy this coffee while it’s hot. (I’m DEF not complaining about this situation).

Yesterday, we walked the two miles to the aquarium again. Which Ishu now possessively calls, “Ishu’s Aquarium.” Designed for him.

Okay, yes, he has noticed.

He is outta the bed and in my face.

Anyway, we were planning to walk back, but by the time we left the aquarium, it was so SO hot and so close to his nap time. So we took the water taxi back to the Navy Pier.

Then Ishu napped pretty immediately after we got home. “Ishu’s aquarium” tired him out.

And, instead of folding the clothes or doing the dishes, I, too, stayed next to him reading my book.

I’ve been renting books through Libby. And, thanks to Katie, I managed to get a free library card with the San Jose Public Library. So, between my TN library card and this San Jose library card, I can rent a few books at a time.

I don’t know why I wasn’t doing this all along.

It’s so easy (and FREE!) to rent books and the “due date” of the book makes me wanna hurry up and read (and not log on to social media and scroll endlessly). I’m currently reading this book and this one is up next.

So, if you’ve got any GREAT book recommendations, please send them my way because I’m a reading machine these days. (And if you haven’t used Libby with your e-reader, you’re missing out! Do it!).
