Today is the last day of May. That Memorial Day occurred this past Monday and not tomorrow feels a bit off. Nevertheless, it is what it is. (Next year, Memorial Day WILL be May 31, which somehow feels normal. Don’t get me wrong, I love 3-day weekends as much as the next person, but the resulting float of the holidays can still feel off.
But June still starts tomorrow, along with Audiobook Month AND Caffeinated Reviewer’s annual JIAM (June is Audiobook Month) Challenge. I am participating, but I’m not sure just how many audiobooks I can manage in just a single month. Over a whole, entire year, quite a few, but in just one month? We’ll see.
Speaking of seeing, the above picture of Luna had to be seen to be believed. She’s just completely abandoned, mostly asleep, and not quite keeping track of all of her limbs. When this was taken, she was just aware enough to notice that she was being photographed, but not quite awake enough to do anything about it. In a week or two I’ll post the follow up picture, the one where she’s fully awake, looking adorably cute, and obviously posing for the camera. Or for her human daddy. Same difference.
