I know this is literally the start of the new year & we just had Christmas, but I feel like a kid waiting to see if the toys I asked Santa for are under the bed. I have been waiting a few months since Magdalene for FKA twigs to announce a longer US/North America tour. She has been busy being amazing & inspiring (Valentino Men’s F/W 2020-21) (Prince tribute with Usher). I just love the range & my imagination is going crazy trying to figure out how she delivers this album with sword fights & pole dancing.
I recovered pretty well from my accident & my car is scheduled for repair next week. Everything there wrapped up nicely like sometimes you can adult and achieve good results.
Meanwhile I’ve been waiting months (since Thanksgiving) to get a mass diagnosed. It’s benign, but surgery is suggested. It’s been holding me down. I haven’t been depressed, but I feel like I’ve powered down to Battery Saver mode. The pain is manageable. I still don’t know if I’m going to go forward with the surgery. I really don’t want to.
So yeah. Personal shit I don’t actually want to talk about. I’m stuck on it. I need a push forward. Sunshine. Kittens. New leaves. A jaw dropping performance in a pirate costume.

Happy New Year! Happy New Decade! Happy New You!
Reptar played two short notice shows at the end of 2019 and I was so bummed that I missed them. They are such a good ‘end of year/all your friends are in town’ band to see.
This song has so much energy and good memories attached to it. I think it’s a great way to start the year for Libby. Positivity! Music! Dancing! Be your best self! All that.
I made it to 99 books that I truthfully read in 2019. The library took forever getting my last book & then I was in a car accident on New Years. Not June is okay, minor bumper damage. I am...feeling so old. A girl hit the car behind me so fast that it slid into my car & my car absorbed the energy. The whiplash pain in my back comes and goes but when it comes damn it hurts so much.
I’m grateful that’s the worst of it. The car that was pushed into mine was so badly damaged we couldn’t pull it off the road. No serious injuries.
So I’ll try for 100 books again this year. My raised beds arrived before Christmas so I will try my garden design again, but with four raised beds! Hoping to dive back into the music I love this year and see a few new bands. On the first my good mood was holding onto Reptar’s Oblange Fizz Y’all. On the second I got Joanna Newsom stuck in my head. She’s not on Spotify and my “in the car cd” is all scratched up. On the third I had Come Around Sundown by Kings of Leon on repeat & repeat & carpool karaoke for one.
