It wasn’t easy, but I survived the time change yesterday morning. Now, I’m able to enjoy more time outside. With highs reaching 70, I’ll be sure to get outdoors and take a few walks this week.
On Saturday, when I closed off the blog, I looked back five years to when I watched Gilmore Girls. I actually did so before the pandemic, so I was well into the series when the layoff at WIS occurred in March. This Spring, I plan to rewatch the series. That show and The Office kept most people sane during the lockdown days in the Spring of 2020. Good morning, I need coffee In a IV with a side of Bears Beets Battlestar Galactica, please?
Now, I had pre-ordered Dylan Mulvaney’s book and was going to get delivered this week as it released. At some point I’d love to read it, but not now. I like Dylan and am inspired by her (yes, her) journey but, her journey is her own and not mine. I canceled the order today and instead ordered Kelly Bishop’s memoir, The Third Gilmore. I could have ordered that when it came out and it would have been a hit with my cousins at the Fall picnic. But it wasn’t in my interests at the time. Kelly’s book was also $6 less on Amazon (the hardcover version). I’ll start this in the Spring as well as reread Lauren Graham’s Talking as Fast as I Can.
I’m still in the book about John Hughes and have entered into the post-Brat Pack days. Pretty in Pink has been out for over a year, and Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles are distant memories. Success is fleeting and I’m reading about the actors who were all on magazine covers a few years ago that are now making the transition to adulthood. It reminds me of 2006 as I was exiting academia and making the transition to adult life. I wasn’t ready then and I worked for years to find myself. But, I’ve managed to right the ship and feel contentment at where I am now in my life.
Knowing what I know now, will I enjoy rewatching the series now that I know how bad that season 6 was? I think this time away will help me enjoy Stars Hollow once again. Looking forward to reading the book this Spring.
